Tip 15–20% of the service price. That's the etiquette guideline from etiquette consultant Jodi RR Smith (Mannersmith) and licensed nail tech Tati Dantzler, as quoted by Yahoo Life.

Quick notes

  • Discounts and deals: tip on the price before the discount.
  • Cash vs card: either works; cash goes straight to your tech. If you tip by card, ask whether the salon lets you add it to the payment.
  • More than one tech: if one person did your manicure and another your pedicure, tip each on their own service.
