More broadly, they found tipping isn't quite keeping up with inflation: "GlossGenius data shows that overall tipping activity across the US remains steady, with the average gratuity for beauty services rising just over 1% compared to this time last year," explains Danielle Cohen-Shohet, CEO and Founder of GlossGenius.
