Tipping after Clarins Facial?

When I worked in JL as a student, staff were not supposed to accept tips. It would have been a disciplinary offence and taken very seriously. Any "gifts" provided by customers had to be sent to staff office and were distributed to retired partners. Although the Clarins staff will not be JL employees strictly speaking, the same rules would apply. I really can't imagine they have changed on this in the years since I worked there.

Just to add I would tip a beautician in a small, independent salon in the same way I'd tip my hairdresser. But at JL, no.

I wouldn't tip as surely the point of it is she gets to try and sell you stuff? so its more of a sales than customer service thing iyswim?

Thats what I thought guys....... If it was a small indp salon I would certainy tipp - like I do my hairdresser. But as its JL I never have as I see it as a big store etc.

Phew - dont feel bad for not tipping now...............
