Not sure what your attitude is but I didn’t research much but sure, I had an idea. First time at a med spa. I usually go to a derm who does every single procedure herself. But she’s always booked and so on a lark, I went to this place for a consult and then decided to do two procedures. It was very well run, with very slick marketing, multiple locations etc but I realized afterwards that I didn’t actually see a doctor anywhere. And then I received multiple requests for tips, and for reviews of course.

It was fine for a one time thing but I probably won’t go back. I’ll take a messier doctors office with a better trained and skilled doctor over these types of places any day. Same goes for dentists. [/quote]

DP but the PP had no attitude. Those were my questions as well. How can we say whether 1500 is high or not if we don't even know what you had done? As for tips, many things Med spa does are not medical in nature. Like they do facials and hair removal. It doesn't seem weird to solicit tips for those services, just like you would for a haircut or brow wax at a salon. It's not surprising they have that culture when they are set up the way they are.

I agree with you that I would only go to a physician for injectables, this is why I think med spas are weird and also don't go to cosmetic dentists even for something like teeth whitening or Invisalign.[/quote]

Op.

Aha, I see. My bad then. But I wasn’t asking if the price was high. More about the tips. [b]My point was that for 1500 dollars- whatever it is- I’m not tipping! [/b]

The whole thing was kinda weird. Too slick and everyone working there seemed about 25 -30 years old. IMO if the place is using a bunch of young people to run their $1k+ procedure business, they should have plenty of money to pay them and not have them rely on tips

Anyway I was in a rush. And wouldn’t go back but it was interesting to see.

I had Botox done and some arm tightening thing btw. [/quote]

So if you went to a restaurant and spent $1500, you wouldn't tip? Charming. [/quote]
A restaurant is not a good comparison. You tip at a restaurant because they don’t make minimum wage. Apples to peaches. 
I wouldn’t tip either and think it’s insane. [/quote]
