FAQs

How many questions are on the Hawaii massage exam? ›

The Hawaii Massage Therapy Exam is a closed-book exam that consists of 100 multiple-choice questions.

Tip for a Private Massage

Since tips are standard protocol for massage therapists, you should assume a 20 percent tip in any massage or spa treatment situation (unless a self-employed therapist specifically tells you their rate is all-inclusive).

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.

Swedish Massage Therapy This is the most common type of massage therapy. It is also known as Swedish massage or simply massage therapy. Massage therapists use long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage lotion or oil.

Only 59% of candidates passed their exam in November 2021. However, in May and June of 2022, pass rates were back at 73%. For the 2023 report, the MBLEx is back up to over 17,000 testing attempts and a 72% first-time pass rate.

As you may know, the MBLEX exam consists of one hundred (100) questions and is scored on a scale of 300-900 points (with a passing score of 630).

This aligns with the standard tipping guidelines for other service workers in the hospitality industry, and lets face it. The therapist is doing a lot of work. For example, if your massage cost $100, a $20 tip would be considered standard.

“You should always tip something after a massage—it's rude not to,” says Beth Rose, a licensed massage therapist and business owner in Kennewick, Washington. “We are providing a service.

Calculating Tips for Different Service Costs

To keep the math simple, tipping 20% makes it easy to calculate and ensures you're on the generous end of the gratuity spectrum. For a $100 massage, a $20 tip is both generous and straightforward to figure out.

The short answer would be as often as you like really. The long answer depends on many factors to include the type of massage you are having, your pain and physical needs and indeed your stress and emotional needs. A massage every week or every two weeks would be ideal but not realistic for every person.

Is a $10 tip enough for massage? ›

If a professional massage therapist has chosen to work in a spa or hair salon, or comes to your home they should get a tip. IMHO, a 60 min. massage gets a $10-$15 tip. If a MASSEUSE is giving the massage in the spa/salon, I'd still give $10-$20.

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.

If you live an active life, you should plan your massage on your rest days. Getting a decent massage when you're inactive is the ideal option. Unless a trainer recommends getting a sports massage during an active day, the best time to get a massage is on your off days.
