The question of appropriate gratuity for beauty services provided on the occasion of a wedding arises frequently. It concerns determining the customary and acceptable monetary addition to the agreed-upon cost for hair and makeup artistry. For example, if a bridal party’s hair and makeup totals $1,000, the discussion revolves around what constitutes a suitable tip on that amount.
Providing a gratuity acknowledges and rewards exceptional service, technical skill, and the personalized attention often required to achieve desired aesthetic results on a day of significant importance. Historically, tipping in service industries has evolved as a means to supplement wages and incentivize quality performance, ultimately contributing to client satisfaction and positive service experiences.
