Here is a quote from the article:
Flower delivery: For flowers and non-food items tip between $2 and $5, depending on the value of what is being delivered, Salas said.
“Movers: “Lunch and $20,” Murphy said.
Hair stylist: Ricci said $5 to $20, depending on the amount of work done. The person who washes your hair should get $1 to $5. If the salon owner styles your hair, he or she should still be offered a tip, Salas said. “I would suggest asking her if it is all right to tip her. I personally have asked ‘Would you be offended if I tip you?’ Her answer was no, not at all and accepted the tip with a smile!”
Road service: This includes jump starting your battery or towing your car. Ricci recommends $5 to $20, depending on the extent of service, length of time you waited and professionalism.
Massage therapists/masseuses: 15% to 20%, said Samer Hassan, professor of culinary arts, tourism and hospitality management at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens.
Airport employees who help move your luggage from the conveyor belt to your transportation or push your wheelchair to your gate: $5 to $20, Hassan said.
Pedicure or manicure: $5 or $10, Ricci said.
Handymen: $5 to $50, depending on the extent of the job and length of time, Ricci said.”
