Trials, travel fees and automatic gratuity
- Trials: a smaller tip, often 10%–15%, is common for a trial appointment.
- On-location and travel fees: many people tip on the service amount, not the travel fee. Enter the service total to keep the tip fair.
- Automatic gratuity: check your contract, as some wedding vendors include gratuity. If it is included, an extra tip is optional.
- Multiple stylists: add a row per stylist in Advanced options to cover the whole bridal party accurately.
Tipping the wider wedding beauty team
If a stylist, a makeup artist and an assistant all worked on your wedding, you can tip each one. See how to split tips between providers for example allocations.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip for wedding hair and makeup?
In the United States, 15% to 20% is commonly cited for bridal hair and makeup, and many clients tip 20% for wedding-day service. You can set any percentage above.
Do you tip for a bridal trial?
Many clients tip for a trial appointment, especially if it runs long or the stylist helped refine the look. A smaller tip such as 10% to 15% is common for a trial.
Do you tip if a service charge is already included?
Check the contract or receipt. Wedding vendors often include gratuity or a service charge, so ask before adding more. The calculator shows included gratuity separately.
Should I tip the whole bridal party's stylists?
If several stylists work on your bridal party, you can tip each of them. Add a row per stylist in Advanced options to calculate a combined tip and total.
Do you tip on travel or on-location fees?
Many people tip on the service amount rather than travel and on-location fees. The calculator lets you separate those amounts so the tip is based on the service you received.
