    It's nice to tip about 20%, ESPECIALLY if you have a coupon.

    Not many of them make really good money. The average salary is about $17 an hour for 20 hours a week. Not a lot.

    Do tip if the therapist is an employee and works at a salon or spa. Do not tip employees who work at a chiropractic, acupuncture or other medical-type clinic.

    Do not tip self-employed therapists or the business owner. They make enough.

    It depends on the circumstances. If you're getting a massage for medical reasons, then generally you don't (and aren't expected to) tip. If you're getting a massage at a spa, it's common practice to tip the technician for the service, although you don't have to follow the standard "15%" rule.
