Many salon workers face low wages, so tipping is their means of making ends meet. (And on that note, if you suspect your salon has poor conditions for its employees, report it to your local public advocate's office.) Tip 20% for a standard manicure, more if you feel your service was exceptional.
Before you race off to any old nail salon for this service, keep in mind that it should only be performed at a reputable salon. âGood gel manicure products arenât cheap,â according to New York City manicurist Julie Kandalec, so a gel mani will usually run you about $10 to $15 more than a basic manicure.
