[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little surprised by some of the posts here. I am a massage therapist, not a waitress. I'm really good at what I do, and in my experience, other therapists aren't as good. Its an art form really, some have passion, some are just working for the money and don't care. Therapists' at small spas are paid 15 to 20 an hour, the spa keeps the rest. Private contractors have to pay for the room your in, the sheets you lay on, the oil the put on you, the music you hear etc...not cheap. If your paying more than 60.00 for a massage, 15-20% is very reasonable. But if your paying less, your getting a really good deal and tipping a percentage isn't appropriate. If you enjoyed your massage, 15 to 20 $ is norm, if you didn't enjoy it, tip whatever you want. Remember, we went to school for this, spending 15 to 20 grand in total. Most therapist can only work 6 hrs a day of massage. So, lets do some math, if they get 15 an hour, you tip 10, that's 25 to work on u for an hour straight. Not bringing an occasional plate or drink. And not serving many at once, its all you in that hour. Thx for reading ?[/quote]
