question about tipping

I have a question for the ladies about tipping. What do you think is the most tactfull way to tip? Meaning if you decide to leave a tip after the service. It sometimes seems awkward to add more money and not make it seem degrading in any way. Whats the best way? Also, if you do just leave more money (as in you already knew you were going to leave more) should you mention it?

thank you and happy new year and be safe!

I usually don't ask for the fee until after the session is over, so most people just pull a little extra out of their wallets if they decide to leave a tip. Some people have made a point to let me know this and others just are very quiet about it and leave it on the dresser for me to find after they leave. If the lady asks for the fee up front, and you feel after the session that you want to give a little extra just say "I had a great time thank you" and hand it to her or "I left something on the dresser for you". Do what you'd do when you go to the hairdresser or go out to dinner. You don't need to make a big production out of it if it makes you uncomfortable. It doesn't seem degrading to us that you want to tip, just lets us know you had a good time and we want to know that. Most of us don't ever expect a tip, so it's a nice surprise to get one.

Any tipping above what was given or will be given for the services you enjoyed is like telling your provider that she and her services are worth more to you. It is a very high compliment and I don't know of anyone that wouldn't appreciate it and you for being so considerate. Most of mine that tip extra mention that they added a 'little something extra' for me before leaving and I always let them know how much it means to me. I like it that way because I want to be able to thank them. When somebody just leaves me extra money or includes it with my session fee and I don't know there's extra in it until they're gone I feel a little sad that I wasn't able to thank them. That's just my personal opinion about it :o)

Sure, extra money is extra money and nobody in their right mind would feel bad about receiving it in any way that you choose to give it! LOL

thank you ladies! you have answered my questions to great effect

What LittleDebbie said is really right on the mark and I have done it every way she has mentioned.  However....

If the session lasts the alloted time, or longer; do I leave it tip?  Sometimes, but it depends on the girl.  Some girls are offended when offered a tip, but most won't turn it down.  

If the session is supposed to be 1 hour and I'm gone 45 minutes or less; do I leave a tip?  In most cases, no.  

While I'm not against tipping, I do have a problem with someone who charges X amount of dollars and...

It's not the girl "in the picture"; or
she "doesn't meet the discription"; or
her performance is not up to expectations; and
she asks for a tip.

I couldn't agree with you more IMhorne. While no one should ever expect a tip, it is nice to recieve one when you know that you have gone the extra mile and made sure your client was more than just satisfied with the service. I always appreciate those gentlemen who pay a flat rate upfront for my services, then after the session is over, leave me a little something for my hard work. For those of us who pride ourselves on customer service, (all the ladies who have replied to this post are known for their skill at customer service) we all appreciate knowing that you feel your time was well spent and special with us.
Hugs,
