How to tip: multiple makeup&hair artists

Jenn, on July 20, 2020 at 1:57 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 7
Hello!



I was starting to budget for vendor tips and got a little confused when it came to my make up and hair artists. I'll be having 2 artists come for the wedding to do both hair and makeup for myself and 5 others. The total quoted was $1300 (including travel fee).I was told that I should be tipping 15%-20% of the final price, which will be $195-$260, but do I just give that to the head artist as one envelope and they divide them themselves? Or should I be halving that and give it to them separately? All my other vendors are business owners or only one of them, so I'm not worried on how to tip, but when it comes to multiple, I didn't know the general rule!
Thanks so much in advance for any help!

    I would prepare a separate envelope for each artist.

    Would you divide the tip equally?
    So say if I tip 20% of total = $260, would they be okay with receiving 10% each??
    Thanks❤

    Oops, I meant,
    Would they be okay with $130 each, which is 10%!

    I think they both deserve 20% of whatever work they did. So, if it’s the fee was 1k for both artist I’d give them 20% of 500$. Since they split the work.

    I think that’s fair. Since they split the work.

    The math works out the same either way, whether you take 20% of the total and split it in 2 or 10% each of half the total, so that's a nonissue.

    I would do separate envelopes, like everyone else has said.
