Wondering if I am tipping too much too little???
Same would go for a hairdresser I suppose too.

When I get a mani and a pedi it runs 90 and I give 15.
Do the same rules apply for these services as the resturant industry as well?

last thought…when you order room service and there is an 18% gratuity and 2 dollar delivery charge already tacked in…do you do an additional tip as well??

Thanks a bunch for your help!
Yes, there is a happy ending…
Looking for average tipping rules, thanks.

So many customers use them. And they are cutting skin, sometimes people bleed by accident. I know they disinfect them but still…… It is not like it is a hospital that is severely regulated.

 

Does anyone know if you have to be licenced in Mexico to be a manicurist?

I want to retire in Mexico, and I am a licenced manicurist here in the states, recently visited Mexico and see that they are greatly lacking in professional manicuring. Do they have schools for this there? Is there a cosmetology commission there like here? What kind of rules are there?
I had one of thoses cheap maicures! It was worthless. I was in Playa del Carmen. So as far as I can see it, an experienced manicurist with talent and personality would be very popular with the tourist crowd.

I’ve just recently stopped biting my fingernails, and now need to learn how to properly groom them. They grow fast, and are growing up past the tips of my fingers now. Some people are saying they look good, and some say they’re too long. I need to know what length women think looks best on a guy, should I clip them, file them, keep them the length they are, or just leave it to a professional and get a manicure once a month?
