How much do you tip for a 60 minute massage at massage Envy? ›

You'll be expected to tip at a massage chain. Much like a restaurant, the standard is 15-20% for good service, or more for great service. Many chains pay their staff minimum wage or close to it, so your tips are necessary for them to make a living wage.

In general, the 20% rule applies to tipping your massage therapist. So, if you're wondering how much to tip for a $100 massage, you'd want to tip $20. If you're considering how much to tip for a 60-minute massage (that costs $100) – you'd still tip $20. However, generosity is generally very appreciated.

Spa and Salon: Tipping is not expected in most spas and salons in Vietnam, but it is a nice gesture to show your appreciation for a good service. You can tip 10% to 20% of the total bill, or 20,000 to 50,000 VND (around $1 to USD 2) per service. You can either add the tip to your bill or give it directly to the staff.

Do you have to tip for a massage? Yes. “Massage therapists are considered part of the service industry, and in the United States, it's customary to tip workers in the service industry,” Gottsman says.

A good rule of thumb for tipping in the massage industry is between 15% and 20% of the total service cost, which is the standard practice in the broader service industry. This range is widely accepted as a standard gesture of appreciation for satisfactory to excellent service, and is a perfectly acceptable tip.

Many people tip around 15-20% of the massage cost.

For example, if your massage costs $100, you'd tip $15 to $20. This range is a good starting point and is commonly accepted across different settings: at-home or mobile therapists, franchise spas or clinics, or an individual massage therapist.

Since tips are standard protocol for massage therapists, you should assume a 20 percent tip in any massage or spa treatment situation (unless a self-employed therapist specifically tells you their rate is all-inclusive).

The Standard Tip:

The generally accepted tip for a massage therapist is 20% of the total massage cost. This aligns with the standard tipping guidelines for other service workers in the hospitality industry, and lets face it. The therapist is doing a lot of work.

Massage in Vietnam begins on the back – usually the tensest part of the body that benefits from massage and pressure point therapy immediately. The massage then proceeds to the other parts of the body before finishing at the head and the multiple pressure points there.

What is traditional Vietnamese massage? ›

Traditional Vietnam massage, also known as "tam quat", is an artful therapy deeply rooted in Vietnam's cultural heritage. This ancient practice involves a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, and rhythmic movements to promote the flow of energy throughout the body.

Local Guides: When engaging local guides for city walks or specialized tours, a tip of 50,000 VND to 100,000 VND is considered respectful. Local Services: For various local services, like assistance with directions or small favors, a tip of 10,000 VND to 20,000 VND is appreciated.

Cash tips are preferred by most massage therapists as they provide immediate gratification and may help with income reporting for independent contractors. However, clients who prefer using a credit card should ask their therapist about their tipping policy beforehand.

Any form of non-consensual physical contact is strictly prohibited, including sexual advances or inappropriate touching.

After your massage is over, the massage therapist leaves the room, you get dressed, and come out of the room. The therapist should be waiting there with some water for you to drink and to walk you back out to the front desk. That's when you hand them the tip.

Wrapping up. When your massage is complete, your therapist will wait outside while you dress. When you're ready, they'll return with you to the front and offer you a glass of water (it's important to stay hydrated post-massage). And if you appreciated your experience, you can always leave a tip.

Since tips are standard protocol for massage therapists, you should assume a 20 percent tip in any massage or spa treatment situation (unless a self-employed therapist specifically tells you their rate is all-inclusive).
