Tipping for a pedicure...

How much do you pay and how much do you tip?

For an $18 pedicure, I usually give $3 and get mean looks. Is that not enough?

$2-$3 for a pedicure, usually $3 unless I really like the person, then I'll give more. I don't know why you're getting dirty looks

Boy, you are all getting rooked for your pedis! I pay $10! I tip $2-$3 depending on if they rushed through me or not. If I get a mani too ($6) I'll give the person a $5 tip.

Funny you ask this...I was just thinking of this last night when I got my nails done!

My mani/pedis are $20 on Mon-Wed. I give my girl $6.00 or $3.00 each if its 2 different people.

Re: Tipping for a pedicure...

I always give at least $5-6 to whoever is doing my pedicure. I just feel like there is so much more work to doing feet -- and I personally think all feet are GROSS so I figure I should give a little more for someone working on mine cause even I don't like touching my feet. Chat Icon
