If it's the owners, I wouldn't tip them.

I am going for a make up trial on Saturday to someone's home - She does make up on the side - is it necessary to tip her?

I don't think so...I read that if someone is the owner, or makes the full amount of the trial (doesn't have to go throught the salon for payment), a tip is unnecessary.

Thanks - The trial is 25 - so I might just give her 30 - but of course tip better on the day of - just wasn't sure
