Tips at sauna/spa in HK?

Just a curious question regarding tips at saunas/spas in HK, how much do or should you tip the masseuse or beautician for different kinds or actions?

Everyone’s opinions here will be vastly different, but a good practice in my opinion is between 15-25% given your experience. Then again, I think the “no tipping “ culture is a bit odd given the providers are essentially in the service industry and likely compensated poorly to start with.

There's a difference between spas and saunas (in case you are not aware. I believe it is posted somewhere), but for spas, e.g. Kawaii, etc., you're not obligated to pay. Typically I tip based on service with them, if they're good about 200, not good is about 100 (and never see them again), and if shocking then I don't tip - but that's a general policy for me. Curious how others tip too
