    If they work for a company they usually only get a percentage of the money you pay. When I found this out, I usually tip her $15 or $20. I always have the same person every time and she is the bomb.

    I think it depends on where you get the massage. I go to my clients home or do it out of my home. Some tip, some don't, but I don't have overhead expenses. I'm always grateful when they do of course. But one guy once got a little frisky after the massage and when I explained I didn't do "that kind" of massage, he was so embarrassed, he tipped me $50.
