I’m appalled at the folks on here griping about tipping beauty professionals!! Here are some facts from someone in the industry: People in the beauty industry DEPEND on tips! IF a person is LUCKY ENOUGH to receive an hourly wage, most places in Austin pay around $9 an hour OR LESS!!!! The majority get a small percentage of the cost of the service they perform. Most start around 20%. Keep in mind they aren’t typically doing a service every hour! PEOPLE if you can afford an expensive treatment like laser hair removal, you can afford a 20% tip!!!
