My general rule is that I do not do any "service" on anyone under 16 years old. 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.
