honestly...there is a LOT less work with a child's foot than an adult's foot so that means less time for us the tech to DO that work.? I, personally, couldn't charge the same amount especially if there were 2...Like I said before the 2 would maybe take the same amount of time as 1 adult...and alot less work even for 2!?? Now putting on a full set...that's different ...even tho there would be less product used you still have to do all the steps...shape the nail, cleanse the nail, prep,lay the ac, file to shape, polish or gel...so maybe the time might be a tad less..the work is still there. JMHO

She wanted to know how much I would charge her. I told her it was "$" whatever my price was back then. She pitched a fit. How could I charge the same for a kid as an adult? I told her I use the same amount of product and the time would be the same, therefore, NO DISCOUNT. I did not want to do this kid anyway because I knew it would be nothing but trouble with the nails " just popping off!!!" (Yes, I do do children iwth the parents permission) Tell her full price. And if they mess up the polish, it is $1 per ding!! Then ask her how much she would charge for a facial for your kids!! ;-) buenos dias, Lynnette -- Lynnette Madden Salon 29 at Main East Greenville PA > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Debbie Watters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > We have a new esthetician at our salon who just started recently.?
