Personal care
Like other service professionals, holiday tips for personal-care providers generally go to those with whom you have an established relationship. Hair dressers, manicurists and massage therapists, for example, often receive gifts or cash tips from regular clients. If the person serving you is the shop's owner, bear in mind that the total cost of the service generally goes to them, so a cash tip might be refused, but the gesture is usually appreciated.
