I've just given out tips to the binman, postman and my trusty Fed Ex delivery team to whom I owe much gratitude to for always delivering my beauty goodies on time. Now it's time to think about the beauty service industry, namely the professionals in my life who I visit regularly for manicures, pedicures, facials, haircuts and massages.

While it's a lot of extra money to spend, it wouldn't seem right to overlook them. If I'm a little short on cash, sometimes I make cupcakes or buy an inexpensive bottle of wine. If I'm short on time, then I opt for gift cards, or (the always popular) cash. Do you gift your beauty professionals during the Christmas season [1] and if so, do you typically tip or give out something more personal?
