Quickest way to find out if they're legit, ask to see the licenses. They have to be in plain view of the public.

We spoke to two etiquette experts, who suggested leaving a 15% to 20% tip, if you're able.

If you have skin rashes or a sunburn then you should not get a massage. The skin rashes that are contagious or sensitive should not be massaged.

“As often as you can, you should be getting a massage,” says Mendez. “Competitive athletes do it one to two times a week. The average person should aim for once a month or every other month.” Moy believes it's better to start with more frequent treatments for the first few weeks.

You must cover all open skin (cuts, warts, etc) with a bandaid and bring to the therapists attention prior to your massage. Remove all make-up from face before climbing on to the massage table. Replacing stained linens can be very costly. Remove all jewelry prior to your massage.

In general, the 20% rule applies to tipping your massage therapist. So, if you're wondering how much to tip for a $100 massage, you'd want to tip $20. If you're considering how much to tip for a 60-minute massage (that costs $100) – you'd still tip $20. However, generosity is generally very appreciated.
