Tip When Getting a Massage?

Personally (in general) I tip 20% when I'm happy, 10% if I'm satisfied/okay and 0 if none of the above... UNLESS I'm a regular, in which case I tip 20% standard regardless of service, unless I'm broke, because I know I'll get them back next time.

15-20% is the standard, I believe. What I do (as a former tipped employee) in discount situations, is I tip on the amount that the bill WOULD HAVE been. So if your $40 massage should have cost $80, I would tip on $80. It isn't the person doing the service's fault that the company did a discount, and they don't get any type of reimbursement. Same with coupons and gift cards going out to eat, you tip on what the bill would have been. You still come out ahead.

I am a member at Massage Envy and I usually give $10.

Enjoy!

I am a massage therapist and tipping is always optional. Often when a massage is given in a spa setting or for strictly relaxation purposes - tips are appropriate. These therapists are usually paid a 1/3 of the fee per hour and depend on tips. Clinical massage, meaning massage on a regular basis to correct a problematic area or work with an injury or in conjunction with other practioners - tipping is even less "assumed" (for lack of a better word!) and again, appreciative, but optional.
I know therapists who work for Massage Envy and they do definitely depend on tips. They are some of the lowest paid massage therapists out there - which is how the business can offer the deals they do.

There are no rules 10%, 15%...etc...just give what you can and based on the services you receive. In general $10-20 is typical, but I've never been ungrateful for a $5 tip and I've also been given even greater amounts on longer massages.
Massages are generally enjoyable experiences, so ask yourself - did the therapist communicate with me and meet my needs? Did they focus on areas that you specified and/or educate you as they went along if they needed to focus their time on other areas or short change special requests?

Enjoy your massage! It's a wonderful gift and offers so many health benefits!!

15 percent or more if you are really happy..

i have a friend who use to work for massage envy. She said the reason the massages are so cheap is becuase most of the massuits are in training. they are not paid very well. Like $15 a session. That is how they can keep it so low. So they pretty much live off the tips.

I go to Massage Envy (I have the monthly plan). I pay $44 per month. I always tip based on the treatment I am getting. For instance, if I'm getting a 90 minute massage, I tip accordingly. I tip 15-20% depending on how I felt the service was. The location I go to has a "tip suggestion" chart that I usually look at. I also don't use the tip envelopes in the room (it makes me have to think to quickly on the spot as to what I will tip), but instead add it to my bill when I check out at the register (gives me time to think about the quality of the service, look at the tip suggestion guide, etc.). Hope this helps.
