Personal Tipping: From hair coloring to manicures to bikini waxes, a beauty regime may seem relentless at times, but the payoff is always worth the trouble. Your tipping tells that person that you were especially pleased with the service you received. If you can't afford to tip everyone, then tip the person who spent the most time on you. It is customary today to tip the owner of the salon/spa when they provide you a service, but remember to tip the employees before the owner if you must make that choice. Tips are private - your tip is between you and your beauty service provider only. Once you find a regular stylist, manicurist or esthetician, tipping them will become routine.
Stylist, Barber or Colorist - 15%
Stylist's Assistant - $2-$5
Manicurist or Pedicurist - 15%
Facialist or Esthetician - 15%
Massage Therapist - 15%
Car Wash Attendant - $2
Dry Cleaner/Tailor - no tip
"House Calls" - Home deliveries and house calls come in a variety of forms and so will your tips. How much you tip will depend on the item or service, and the amount of time the service provider spent in your home. A delivery person who brings pizza to your doorstep won't stick around for long (small tip), but the guys bringing your new sofa might spend a lot of time in your home before they leave (larger tip). If you have booked in-home entertainment for a soiree, then tip more for the added convenience. For a rush or last-minute service request, tip more to recognize the accommodating service. Always tip in cash, and give a bonus at holiday time (double your average fee).
Delivery person - $2-$10
Floral Delivery - $2
Movers - $10/person
Personal Care Providers - 15-20%
Baby sitters - no tip

It is legal for a U.S. postal worker or letter carrier to accept a cash tip of up to $20.
Weddings and other special events are under different protocols, as are cruises, casinos, and international travel.
