Deep tissue massage help?

[MikeSnake]

So I got a gift certificate for a deep tissue massage. What is a decent tip for this service(either percentage or just a set amount)?

Thanks for your help.

The general rule for tips is fifteen percent. However if you're going to a school those people are usually on an internship so they don't make any money except the tips. Our massage costs $20 most people tip $5 some people tip $10, and if they were really happy with it they tip $20. But really if a massage therapists is working for themselves instead of in a spa then I wouldn't care if I got tips or not. If it's from a spa 15% Good luck!

10% or 10 dollars is generally what people tip. Of course, if you want to tip more, they wouldn't mind. lol.

10% or around $10 if the massage is $60-100.

I always tip massage therapists and other spa service people (nails, hair etc) 15%.... unless it is a really good service, then I tip 20%.
Don't be cheap about it- especially since you're only paying the tip & got a free massage. If you go back later, and gave a decent tip, the therapist will remember & make sure to do a good job again.
