Do you tip your electrologist? I tend to tip about 20% when i get my hair cut, but given the cost of electrolysis, i'm wondering how many of you tip and, if you do, how much?

Thanks,

Laura

Good question!  I did the "Emily Post" thing, and what's suggested for folks that provide us with regular services (hairdressers, etc) is that we tip the equivalent of one session once a year, as a holiday season bonus.

Sounds reasonable to me.  It's not like I won't be seeing the electrologist regularly for the next several years.  :P

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

I always tip 20%.  Never for the laserologists though, as they're medical service providers, at least here in CA.

I don't have an answer. I will be following this, though. My electro is  $110 a session. I don't make much money but maybe a holiday gift tip sounds reasonable.
oh yeah, I haven't tipped yet. I guess I should just ask her directly.
They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority.
