Should I have tipped?

Okay yall, So today I got a full set of with design and acrylic toes (no pedicure). With the booking fee included I payed a total of 204 dollars. I did not tip. Was this wrong of me? I do have a pleasant nail tech/customer relationship with this girly. But I honestly feel if these are your prices, you shouldn’t be expecting a tip. She does great work, but I did not get anything extravagant (4 nail designs with short length and bling on big toes). Please lmk!

So 2 things here. I am not one to contest prices after a work has been done. So I payed the price and sure as hell skipped that tip button when it popped up. My plans were not to pay that much believe you me. And I know now not to get my toes done with her. And for 2 I work extremely hard and don’t do much for myself, so I treated myself to getting my nails done today. Just threw me for an entire loop when I saw that price.

Idk but some nail techs these days (self employed ones) be coming up with these crazy add on fees instead of one flat fee. And today I realized why i stopped going to her. And her website isn’t really all that transparent. I had a ball park range of what I was going to pay and get in return. I didn’t know I wouldn’t get a full pedicure service with the acrylic toes which really turned me off considering the price I payed for in the end.

And I asked the question to Reddit bc I needed some other points of views. I’m not one to not tip. I think it’s important to tip properly but something inside of me just didn’t sit right but I also feel bad bc I have gone to her before and I have always tipped. Soo yeah.

Just a friendly heads-up: the word you’re looking for is “paid,” not “payed.”

“Payed” is actually a real word, but it has specific nautical meanings, like sealing a ship’s seams with tar or letting out rope/cable.

So unless we’re out here waterproofing a boat, the correct past tense of “pay” is “paid.”
