[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go to the Kingsmill Spa in Williamsburg a few times a year (family nearby) and at the end, the receptionist will say, "we've automatically added 18% gratuity, would you like to change it?" I usually just say its fine, even though I think it's a bit high.  The masseuse already gets about half of the price too (so $60 of a $120 massage). That's not a horrible hourly rate.  I don't get tipped for doing my job.  [/quote]

15 to 20% is the average range for tip, keep in mind that some massages such as short or deep tissue massage takes mor engery and strength for the Massage Thererist to do, and you may whant to tip the 20%. The best way to base your tip is by how you feel after the massage. I you told the Massage Therpist that you wanted the stress you hold in your neck and shoulder worked on, and they payed no more attention working on those areas then the rest of your body, and you feel about the same leaving as you did comming in tip less. Mast Massage Therpist do not make 50% of the cost of the massage they make 25% to 30% and sometimes even less if the massage is part of a special offer.[/quote]
