Hair & Makeup vendor tips

I paid for hair and makeup for myself and my flower girls. I also only have the tip for the three of us. Not sure if my bridesmaids gave them a tip or not. I guess I didn't really think about it at the time.

I am asking for professional makeup, so I am paying for it. I would also expect to pay the tip.

I would say if it is not mandatory, then you are not responsible for paying for tip, but if you can budget to add the tip then great, but I wouldn’t say it is expected

View Quoted Comment I guess a side question too, since they are charging a travel fee do I tip including that amoumt then 20% or just service price 20%?

Personally I would not include the travel fee into the total tip % Calculations. That just my personal opinion though

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

If they are paying for their own services, it's reasonable for them to also pay the tip. If you want to cover the whole tip as a courtesy, I doubt anyone would object lol, but it isn't necessary. I would also not factor the fee into the tip. The tip is based off of the price for the service.

Whoever pays should also cover tip for the amount they're paying. So if you made it optional and they're paying their own way, then they're responsible for tipping for their service(s).
