Tipping at BBB

[Hezzy04]

I have an appointment for both daughters at the BBB on April 24. As far as tipping goes....should I be tipping the same as if at a restaurant? 20%ish? Or is there a different standard? We are getting the full package which is approximately $200 per kid (yikes!!), so want to make sure I factor in the tipping. Most of the extra cost is just buying the dress and accessories, so not sure if that still should be something I tip on, when the price for just the hair and makeup and nails is much less? I was originally going to tip $20 per, but then realized that might be super cheap, if I should be tipping 20% of total cost....

Any advice would be appreciated! I want to be fair and do this the right way, but am confused about what that is!

I think $20 each is plenty. I always tip at least 20% at a restaurant, but BBB is different. I wouldn't tip on the cost of the dress and the accessories any more than I would tip on what I bought at the Rain Forest Cafe gift shop when we ate there.

If I remember correctly I usually tip $20. The girls we have in the past have been spectacular and deserve every penny. They are the ones that make the experience.

I gave either $10 or $15 when we did the basic package.
