[quote=Anonymous]Several people here are confusing two completely different things. A massage THERAPIST is a healthcare professional, and sometimes health insurance pays part of it. In this case, in a HEALTHCARE setting, I would not tip.  If a professional massage therapist has chosen to work in a spa or hair salon, or comes to your home they should get a tip. IMHO, a 60 min. massage gets a $10-$15 tip. If a MASSEUSE is giving the massage in the spa/salon, I'd still give $10-$20. People are indeed getting "used" to tipping the manicure person, then having a tip for the next person doing the pedicure (I think some places do this on purpose), then tipping the hair stylist. Then, they get Christmas tips. I hate to sound cheap, because I don't think I am, but if I tipped everyone the same way, I wouldn 't be able to get out of the salon for $400. This is crazy, and I certainly can't do this once a week, or once a month for that matter. So first clarify if this is a health care setting or a salon. It may help if they hang their tipping policy as well. ("No tipping" which is sometimes for the parking valet at an event, or "Tips appreciated.") [/quote]
