Tip Hair and Makeup???


Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone! We are going to be flying out a hair and makeup woman to do the bridal party for the wedding and me the next day for the TTD. We are paying to bring them to Jamaica and am wondering what is apporpriate in terms of tipping.

 

Do you tip at all? Do you tip on the overall total bill (what all the services will be)?? We will already be paying over $1,000 to have her there with us and for the services we have estimated her doing. I am more than happy to tip, just want to make sure I understand how much since it is a different situation than normal!

 

Thanks!!!!

I use to be a waitress for 8 years in high school and college. I would say you don't need to tip her.

 

Basically you are paying for her services like any other client, and her tip is the Great Vacation she is getting. If its an all exclusive resort also, think about all the money for food and drinks you are saving her that she normally would be paying for at home during this time.

 

If you really wanna do something to "Thank Her" I would consider buying her a small gift in Jamaica and presenting it to her. Maybe a bracelet or some local crafts.

I agree with you totally. A nice gift is more than fitting since you are paying the rest of her way.

I am also is the service industry. And live off my tips. I don't think you should be tipping her. Your already paying for her vacation. That is plenty enough. Plus it's not like she is working for the whole week, she is just doing hair and make up and then gets to go act like a guest.

I don't think she would even except a tip.

Good luck, and Have fun!!!

Tip? ? ? Are you kidding me? You are giving her a vacation in paradise for what? ? ? 3hrs work? Jeez...why did I go to med school....cosmetology is where it's at!

 

And I used to be a waitress too! For 3yrs, making minimum wage living off tips, and before that I was a valet parker for the Hyatt...and ditto...This girl has a sweet deal, I say no tips needed.

I am going to agree with the others that say don't tip...although I know if it were me, I'd probably feel like I'd need to tip anyway. can you ask a local makeup artist, at a salon or store, what they would expect in a similar situation?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
