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.
Nails with gel or Shellac are not as flexible as natural nails, but they do tend to be more flexible than acrylic nails. Gel polish and Shellac cost extra in a salon. Salons may add up to 50 percent to the manicure price. Gel or Shellac manicures usually cost between $25 to $60.
