How much would you tip for a $7 manicure?

I have been getting a manicure for years each week and they haven't increased their prices ever since I have started going there.............

I have always given a $2 tip but wondering what others would give.....

I often feel funny because if I pay with a $10 bill, and give a $2 tip, I end up putting a dollar in my wallet and I feel stingy... Does that make sense? Chat Icon

This is a place where all the works there know me VERY well and all talk to me and greet me by name as soon as I walk in.

The place I go to also charges $7 so I just give $10 and tell the lady to keep the change. I've been going for a long time and they are all very nice and I get a nice massage while my nails are getting done or drying.

I think giving $2 is perfectly fine. I've seen some people only give $1 tip, but IMHO I think that is just wrong.

$2 is fine and normally what I would give

if they went above and beyond then I might give a $10 and say keep the change

If I had a ten dollar bill, I'd probably say keep the change but if I was paying with a $20 I may ask for $11 back ...

i would tip $3 but i think that $2 or $3 is fine. $2 is almost 30% and that's still generous IMO Chat Icon

i usually give 2 for my nails and 3 for my feet regardless of price. I give more when it is a french though or if they do an amazing job!

I give 5 for a mani and if I get both Mani and Pedi I give 12. I have been going to my lady for so long now and I love her manicures!

At the very least $2. How I miss living in Queens and going for $5 manicures! These LI prices are ridiculous!
