Their little cuticles are usually half way down their nails, there’s usually a huge hang nail or three and there is always crud under the very short nails that’s hard to get out. And they don’t sit still! But more than once, a parent/grandma has shown reluctance when I told them the charge, “But they’re just kids!” they say. As if being a bag of wiggle worms is due a discount! lol Thanks for the input....I really wanted to know if some of you catered to this crowd...

I don't work on children's nails, however, the couple of times I did I charged full price, kids nails are worse than adults .

If they cannot drive themselves to their appointment I will not be bothered with them. I am not a babysitter. If my client has her underage daughter or granddaughter with her on her appointment time and I have the time to put a coat of polish on the child within the paying clients appointment time, I will polish the child's nails at no charge. No manicure, no filing the nails, 2 coats of polish and 1 coat of top coat, no charge. I don't care if the child is male or female, same rules. I've done this several times over the years. However, Rules are made to be broken. IF my long term client brings her child, 12 or older, I will do a full manicure on the child IF the mother/grandmother/aunt/adult is also getting a service right before or after the child's appointment, for the full adult manicure price. I have done this exactly 1 time in 25+ years of doing nails. That's my rules. I have a client who's son liked to get his nails painted when he came with mommy to her nail appointment. He usually choose blue or green, sometimes black or gray. He's 8 now and no longer interested in getting his nails painted even though he still comes with mom to her nail appointments.

Mom came for a wax, brought 6 yr old daughter. Estie asked if I could "just do some sparkles...no manicure...just sparkles." 1. What would your child's mani consist of? 2. Would you do a mani before polishing? 3. How long would it take 4. How much would you charge? 5. Would you ever do Shellac on a child? 6. Would you do a boy or girls only?
