Hi Loulpu4
Welcome - first a forum protocol suggestion.
If you “like” someone’s post they are more likely to notice and respond to any follow up questions. It’s about visibility, I don’t always return to a thread and I only spotted your comment after RosieR had liked my own comment.
In answer to your question about children and pets, I’m thinking that one of the reasons that someone might like a mobile home visit is that it saves them from having to make arrangements about their children and/or pets. This can create issues for the visiting therapist with the challenges of disruption and distraction, health and safety concerns and potential for equipment damage. This point has been discussed on other threads in plenty of detail and is Off topic from your original question so I don’t want to digress.
In my own salon I have had plenty of near misses involving children - pretty much every time I ignore my own “no children in a treatment room” rule I have a fright. Parents don’t understand that we leave caustic (to children) chemicals in easy pump containers, scalding (to children) hot wax at accessible heights and have twitching electric cables trailing invitingly all over the place which can be very tasty to nibble upon (apparently). I once explained politely to an 8 year old child that I was holding a very sharp tool near her mother’s eyes and didn’t want to be startled by a child jumping around at my elbow, only to have the mother start to hyperventilate! Sheesh!
Parents and pet owners are often horrified by a request to exclude their darlings from their treatment experience. They imagine that they can continue to supervise whilst having a service and the result is very stressful for all concerned. Unfortunately many clients don’t consider how difficult it is to pack up whilst fielding interested children and inquisitive pets and, as my daughter is constantly returning items my DGD has snaffled from my salon, the contents of your bags may become fair game!
