Day Spa and tipping

Ok Forum members tell me what you think about this. I purchased a gift certificate for my wife's birthday to a local day spa for the full treatment 3+ hours of pampering. What my issue was they included the 18% tip up front. Now I am not a cheap tipper I start at 20% and you work your way down or stay at 20% (the higher which is most times). But a tip is earned by your server not expected or just given, am I wrong here. I would have given my wife the extra money to give the person providing she was satisfied with what she got. So what do you think.
