Bringing the Kids: Children's Manicures and Pedicures at Nail Luxury
A child's first salon appointment goes one of two ways, and which one you get has very little to do with the child. It is mostly about picking the right service and the right time of day. Children ten and under have their own menu here, priced and timed for them rather than scaled down from an adult service. Here is what is on it and how to choose.
The Children's Menu
Kids Polish Nails is $10. A Kids Manicure is $15. Kids Polish Nails and Toe is $25. A Kids Pedicure is $30. There are two combination options as well: Mani and Pedi Kids at $40, and a larger Kids Mani and Pedi Combo at $60. Everything on the children's menu is polish and natural-nail care, and all of it is on the booking page with the rest of our services.
Kids Polish Nails, $10
The shortest and cheapest option, and the right one for a first visit. It is colour on the fingernails and nothing else: no soak, no tools near the cuticle, nothing that asks a child to sit still for long. For a four or five year old who mainly wants to pick the colour, this is the entire experience they were after, and it is finished before anybody gets restless.
Kids Manicure, $15
A step up from polish alone. Nails are shaped and tidied, cuticles are gently cared for, hands get a short massage, and then colour goes on. It runs longer than the polish-only service, so it suits a child who has sat through an appointment before, or who is old enough to enjoy the fuss rather than endure it. Seven and up is usually comfortable with it.
Kids Polish Nails and Toe, $25
Colour on fingers and toes, without the spa steps. This is the one most children actually want, because painted toes are the part they show their friends. It is also a sensible middle option if your child liked the $10 polish and is ready for a slightly longer sit without committing to a full pedicure.
Kids Pedicure, $30
The one children remember. Feet soak in warm water, nails are trimmed and shaped, there is a gentle scrub and a short massage, and then polish. The chair itself is half the attraction. It takes the longest of the single services, so it is worth booking at a time when your child is rested rather than at the end of a long day.
The Mani and Pedi Combos
Two options cover hands and feet in one appointment: Mani and Pedi Kids at $40, and the Kids Mani and Pedi Combo at $60. Both are listed on the booking page with a description of what each one includes. If you are not sure which fits, tell us your child's age and how long they will realistically sit still, and we will point you at the right one. Booked together it is one appointment instead of two trips.
Picking a Good First Appointment
Three things make a first visit go well. Book a quiet time, since weekday mornings are our calmest: Monday we open at 12 PM and Tuesday through Friday at 10 AM. Start smaller than you think, because the $10 polish leaves a child wanting to come back while an hour-long service can leave them wanting the opposite. And let them pick the colour themselves, since that is the part they came for.
What Is and Is Not on the Children's Menu
The children's menu is polish and natural-nail care only. There are no enhancements on it at all: no acrylic, no gel extensions, no dip. Natural nails are still growing and changing at that age, which is why the menu stops where it does. If your child is asking for long nails, press-ons at home are the practical answer, and we are happy to shape and polish their own nails so the set underneath looks cared for.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my child have to be? The children's menu is for ages ten and under. There is no minimum, but for a first visit the $10 Kids Polish Nails is the easiest place to start at any age.
Can my child and I book together? Yes. Book both services for the same time and tell us it is a parent and child, so we can seat you side by side.
Do you put acrylics on children? No. The children's menu is polish and natural-nail care only, with no enhancements of any kind on it.
How long does a kids' appointment take? Polish alone is a few minutes. A Kids Manicure runs longer, and a Kids Pedicure is the longest of the single services. The combos cover both hands and feet in one appointment.
What is the best day to bring a child in? A weekday morning. Those are our quietest hours, so there is less noise and less waiting. Monday we open at 12 PM, and Tuesday through Friday at 10 AM.
