How Much Should You Tip

Your Manicurist: If you see the same manicurist/pedicurist regularly, consider a tip between $10-$15. The general rule of them is to tip the price of one manicure, so in New York City, this might mean a bit more.

Hairdresser/Stylist: This can very greatly. Some etiquette experts suggest a $15 tip. Do you see the same hair stylist regularly? If they provide you with a quality cut/style each time, tip them the cost of one typical haircut.

Babysitter: If you have a regular babysitter, tip them the amount you would pay them for one evenings work.

Full-time Nanny or other home helps (elder care, etc.): 1-2 weeks pay, or 1 weeks pay and a weeks vacation.

Dog Walker: The cost of aweeks walk.

Teacher: A small gift of about $20 value, given to the teacher by your child. Or consider gathering money from all the students in the class and purchasing a group gift.

Mail carrier: By law, the Postal Service cannot accept tips or gifts. If you do decide to tip anyway, a tip of about $20 is a safe bet.

Cleaning Person: An unofficial standard is 10 to 15% of the cleaning bill. Consider tipping more if they do work more frequently.
