I think you have Oksana, right? If I remember correctly from past posts she doesn't accept tips, so you may not be able to.

If someone serves you, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TIP AS A COURTESY!

Re: tipping on trials

I've tipped at all of my trials; however, I have one scheduled and I will NOT be tipping. This person owns the company and is charging nearly 100 for a makeup trial. Not a chance that I'm tipping her for the trial.

Re: tipping on trials

i agree. if the artist is the owner of the company, you have no obligation to tip them.

Re: tipping on trials

for any service a person should be tipped.

I've been to several trials and have GENEROUSLY tipped. $100 for a trial is a bit much. The person works for herself. If she chooses to charge $100 for a trial, she's not getting a dime more from me.

If I book her, I'll tip on the day of my wedding.

She's walking away with $100 for my trial; whereas, others have charged 30-50 for the trial.

Re: tipping on trials

if someone owns their own company --they should NOT accept a tip!

i have a makeup trial on sunday and it is going to cost me $75 and it is at her apt --unless i am absolutely ecstatic about my makeup, i am not tipping!
