Got my wife a 4.5 hour spa package with a few different treatments like massage and facial and even lunch.
I paid for it, surreptitiously. But wondering about tip protocol. Should I give her an envelope of cash to tip with, or is tipping not necessary? |

Here is the rub:
It is a package, but each treatment is done by some one else (I am pretty sure, because the lady was trying to see if the pedicure person was available on same day as the masseuse, etc). So how do you calculate 20% when it is a package price, but different services and people? And do you shuttle from one to the next just throwing cash around or wait till the end of the whole deal? |

Where my wife works they do packages all the time. The person at the front desk will have the names of the people who performed the services and they also have envelopes for gratuity. Some places have them in the rooms. My wife usually receives tips based on how good the service was, not the price of the service. |
