Hi all, do any of you have experience performing treatments on under 14s? I really don’t feel comfortable doing it but the salon owner (owner of the hairdressers and barbers that I’m based within, not a nail tech) says just a simple shape and polish will be fine. I had a 12yr old book on Saturday just for a manicure (no polish) but she didn’t turn up so I didn’t get to test it out. The problem with the owner wanting me to do polish is that I only stock gel polish and can’t use that on children. I have a few regular high street nail varnish brands at home but since I’m not making any money at the moment there’s no way I’m investing in professional-only nail polish when I’m still trying to build up my gel polish colours as it is. Also using the high street brands makes my “hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty free” USP invalid. Bit annoying but as I’m quiet and trying to build up a client base I’m guessing I don’t have much choice but to offer treatments for children. The NSS down the road does offer children’s treatments including nail enhancements. I don’t have children myself so I can’t judge the situation properly so I’m hoping people on here can help. Thank you.
(In theory I would adjust the manicure to only include a shape, no cuticle nipping, and a light pressure massage.)
