[quote=Anonymous]Standard tip for massage is flat rate, not percentage. 30 minutes= $5- $10, 60 minutes= $15- $20, and 90 minutes= $25 to $30. (Obviously this varies based on whether or not your needs were met.) Also, if you belong to a Massage Envy or similar chain, those massage therapists are paid a very low wage. On average, they start at $15/ hour. (That's per hour of massage. If the book is not full, they sit around without getting paid.) Spas generally don't give 50% commission on massage, unless they hire independent contractors. And keep in mind, massage therapists go to school for their craft, have to pay for testing, licensing, maintaining that license, continuing ed, CPR/ First Aid classes, etc, etc. Most therapists also have to do laundry when they are not with a client, and all have paper work to complete for each client after each massage. Finally, please do not call him or her a "masseuse" or "masseur". Those individuals provide "happy endings", a massage therapist does not.  :wink:[/quote]
