Are you supposed to tip nail techs?

What customers do: The standard tip is anywhere from 15 to 20 percent of the cost of services, before taxes. Some customers tip more than 20 percent if it's a low-cost service where the tip would otherwise be less than $2, or if they're especially thrilled with the service, say our experts.
