The hot take was shared last month by Candace Kim , a Los Angeles-based manicurist and esthetician whose work has been featured in ad campaigns for popular brands like Chobani and Ulta Beauty.
In the video , which went viral as it topped over 3.6 million views, the nail artist showed off a fresh pink manicure, writing, 'Can we normalize NOT tipping your nail girl..

She expanded her thoughts in the caption of the clip, explaining that although she understands that there are reasons for tipping, like supplementing low wages, the whole culture around it has gotten 'out of control.' 'In my ideal world manicurists, brow artists, lash techs, hairstylists, and all other beauty pros would charge what their services and time are worth! PERIOD,' Kim wrote in the caption.
