how Much should I tip for a $350 Botox appointment that lasts15 minutes? I use the same clinic each time but the service provides vary so it’s not one person I see all the time. They recommend 15 - 20% but that seems high based on the amount of time and effort involved. TIA!
I... have not been tipping for Botox. I didn't know this was a thing. I go to a physician-run clinic and see the physician every time. There's no line for tipping at payment. Am terrible?
Can you recommend? Thank you.
@Anonymous I'm in Vermont. But if you're ever up here (I know she has many NYC clients with second homes who get their treatments here), it's Radiance Med Spa in Williston, outside Burlington.
@Anonymous Thank you.
This is usually done by dermatologists and it would be a huge insult to tip a doctor. Wow...
Mine's an anesthesiologist (side gig). But I don't tip her.
OP the providers at my clinic are nurses and they have tipping signage and envelopes at the front desk so it is encouraged. I have been leaving $20, does this seem ok? I think they are seeing their model along the lines of salon or spa treatment, etc.
I don‘t tip for botox. You’re talking about 100 tip if 20%
This is so tricky. I don't get botox, but it seems like a medical treatment, so seems strange to tip, doesn't it? On the other hand, they're so obvious about wanting tips that if you don't do it, I wonder if it impacts the service? Not the type of thing you want them to mess up . . . I think you're being very generous to tip on top of that exorbitant pricing, and the amount seems fine (and I tip for everything, but tipping for medical services just seems like it crosses a line!).
I would not tip for a medical procedure. I would find a new place if tips were solicited. Seems inappropriate and weird.
my Botox is 500 for one small spot with a plastic surgeon- I don’t tip her. I give my kids a tip - “go to medical school”
LOL!
