The amount you tip at the nail salon is ultimately up to you. However, the industry standard is 10% to 20%, experts say. For a $45 pedicure, that works out to a $4.50 to $9 tip. You can use a tip calculator to easily find an appropriate tip for your bill.

Nail salons can expect an average profit margin ranging from 15% to 45%, depending heavily on how well the salon owners manage their operations and control costs. Efficient accounting practices factor in, highlighting the importance of not just drawing in the bucks but keeping an eagle eye on where they flutter away.

Both spas and nail bars do an excellent job at keeping the environment tidy and enjoyable for the customer. Spa pedicures are longer in time than regular pedicures because they come with additional services such as a foot soak, a foot massage and exfoliation, a hot towel rub, and a paraffin wax dip.
