Tips for a happy first visit
- Keep it short. A polish change is perfect for younger kids.
- Let them choose. Picking the color is half the fun.
- Come together. Book your service at the same time so they can watch you first.
- Pick a calm time. After a snack and not near nap time.
- Bring a photo of a fun design if they have one in mind.
Regular polish or gel for kids?
Regular polish is easy and quick to remove. Gel lasts longer, which is nice for birthdays, holidays or vacations, but needs proper removal. Ask your nail tech which is best for your child's age and nails.

Common questions
What age can kids get a manicure?
Many kids enjoy a simple polish change from around age 4 or 5. Ask us what's best for your child.
