What's an appropriate tip to give at a nail salon?

Update:

Let's just assume best case scenario: Typical fill-in and pedicure done in a satisfactory manner.

    15-20% unless you get special treatment, then up to double that. Whatever you think. I usually give a minimum $10 on a $40 job! But then I get very particular about who works on my nails.

    I leave $7 for a $25 service...my nail tech is THE best and she fits me in last minute. It's always best to tip more during the holidays too.

    I usually tip 3 -4 dollars on a 10 dollar manicure. Because you want them to take care of you.

    $2.00 for ordinary color. $3.00 for french. $3.50 for embellishments or multi colors. No more than that, these guys are making the bucks, and those prices are usual and customary. If you are getting a pedicure with your nails, $4.00 or $5.00 tops.

    despends on where it is, and how well of a job they did.

    if its somewhere in like beverly hills, as opposed to somewhere where theres not much rich people, then you would probably tip more

    and if they kept cutting you and not saying sorry, and/or made you wait a lot, and/or were rude to you, i dont think it would be right to give them a $20 tip.
