How Much Should I Tip a Massage Therapist?
A: Because I am a self-employed massage therapist, I have no expectation for you to tip. For massage therapists who are independent contractors or employees, there isn’t really a ‘social norm’ amount like there might be for a restaurant server. It’s more like tipping a hair stylist or a tattoo artist; whatever you feel is fair.
In case you do want to leave me a tip, there are several percentage options as well as a ‘custom’ modifier on my Square terminal. Tips are appreciated, but not necessary or expected, and you should not feel pressured to leave one.
