No idea, we don't tip whatsoever in my country. And certainly not for beauty services. Maybe at a fancy resaurant....And its something I slightly struggle with when I've been to the US. I mean, you even tip when you buy a drink at the bar? Its crazy! Well anyway we have a National minimum wage (which in the UK is around 10 US bucks an hour - yes its utterly illegal to employ someone over 21 for less than 10 US bucks an hour - even as a waitress/bartender/macdonalds etc).
So no-one really tips much. I always used to like the American tourists because they tip way over the top. I guess they don't know about our tipping methods.
Kind regards
Meri
