To tip... or not to tip??

Customized Spray Tanning is a newer service to become available to the market and there seems to be confusion on what's appropriate or acceptable when it comes to tipping your customized spray tan technician. We get a lot of questions and inquiries in the salon as to what they should do. Our typical response to this is...

Tipping is a personal preference, always... so it's up to you!

But you might want to think about this too…

If you think your technician did a good job on your customized spray tan, I am sure they would appreciate an additional "Thank You" in the form of a tip, as any service related technician would appreciate. It is important they make you feel comfortable and provide excellent results!

If you were unhappy with your spray tan or the technician, perhaps a tip is not necessary. The same as you would alter your tip if you received bad service at a restaurant or a bad haircut.

One way you can think about this is... Customized Spray Tanning, although a newer service, is a service based industry none-the-less. If you think about other industries where you might typically tip someone, other serviced based industries should come to mind, such as nail salons, hair salons, spa estheticians, cosmetologists, waiters, massage therapists, etc.

If you typically tip these technicians for their customized services, than I would say you might want to tip your spray tan technician as well… but ONLY if you are happy with the service you received!
