Outraged nail salon customer reveals the enormous minimum amount she was expected to tip after pricey eyebrow wax
An outraged nail salon customer lost it after being presented with an unexpectedly large minimum tip after a high-priced beauty treatment.
Influencer Gabby LaCorte posted a TikTok, exposing a salon that demanded a 75 percent tip for an eyebrow wax.
The mother-of-two said she visited a cosmetologist for the service, which she said already cost her $21.
When she went to leave a tip on the iPad, she saw the tip amounts at a minimum asked for 75 percent and went upwards of 100 percent.
If LaCorte paid the minimum expected tip, she would be paying a total of $36.75.

'Tipping culture in the United States has gotten out of control,' LaCorte said in her video, which has garnered nearly 235,900 views.
'Is she okay?' said LaCorte, taken aback by the audacity of the cosmetologist.
Had she not taken a closer look at the tipping screen, LaCorte said she could have mistakenly paid the exorbitant tip as the 75 percent button was placed where the 15 percent tip option usually is.
She said the deceitfulness rubbed her the 'wrong way.'
'That really bothered me, I'm not going back to her,' said LaCorte.
Users in the comments were just as dumbfounded at LaCorte.
Others chimed in with their own stories of being asked for exorbitant tips in unexpected places. From concert merchandise stands to self-serve yogurt shops, it seemed no business was immune to the tipping craze.
'I wouldn’t know what to say, my jaw would be on the floor,' commented one user.
'$21 just for eyebrows waxing/threading is another robbery too,' said another.
One user wrote: 'Went to crumbl cookies and placed my own order on the iPad and still got asked for a tip.'
Another said: 'I went to get frozen yogurt, where you serve yourself and they asked for a tip.'
A third chimed: 'I bought a plant from a plant store, like walked around picked out a plant and took it to the register, and he flipped that thing around for a tip. Literally why.'
The outrageous tip demand is the latest example of a broader trend known as 'guilt tipping.'
Customers are increasingly expected to leave large gratuities at establishments with minimal service, from pizzerias and coffee shops to fast-food joints and self-service kiosks.
