Hello Bees!

Just a quick question on tipping.  I’m getting my makeup done this Saturday for my engagement photos, she’s coming to my house and her price includes a traveling fee.  I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to tip her, but don’t know how much.

For my wedding (in 50 dys, YAY!!) in St. Augustine I’ll be getting my makeup trial done two days before the wedding and for the wedding day she’ll be doing both hair and makeup.  Again, I’m sure I’m supposed to tip her but how much?  Should the amounts be different on the trial date vs day of event?  In a way I feel like I’ll be double tipping her, but hey that’s what happens when you have a DW.  I’m not stingy in any way, but my fiancé and I are paying for everything out of pocket and the tips are adding up.

Thanks,

Maria

I would probably tip the standard 20% if she does a decent job, maybe a little more if it’s great! Like with all tips, you should tip what you feel is adequate for the quality of the services rendered.
