When it comes to nail care, kids and teens deserve a bit of pampering too! However, their needs and nail health considerations vary by age. Here’s a guide of the appropriate nail services for children to make sure their nails stay healthy and look great.
PURE KIDS MANI & PURE KIDS PEDI (Ages 5-10)
For the younger kiddos, the focus should be on simple and gentle nail care. The PURE KIDS MANI & PURE KIDS PEDI services are specifically for children aged 5 to 10 years. These services include basic nail trimming and shaping and regular polish adds a touch of fun without being too harsh on their delicate nails. Also, a gentle scrub, soothing lotion, and a light massage are included to make the experience enjoyable.
PURE MANI & PURE PEDI (Ages 10 and Up)
As kids transition into their teenage years, their nail care needs become a bit more complex. For children aged 10 and up, the PURE MANI & PURE PEDI services offer a more comprehensive treatment. This includes cuticle care, nail trimming, shaping, and regular polish. Additionally, a scrub, lotion, and massage help in keeping the hands and feet smooth and relaxed.
PURE GEL MANI & PURE GEL PEDI (Ages 12 and Up)
For teenagers aged 12 and older, who may be more interested in longer-lasting polish options, the PURE GEL MANI & PURE GEL PEDI services are a great option. Gel polish is popular for its longevity and shine, as well as the ability to do nail art because nail art can only be done on gel based services. This service includes cuticle care, trimming, and shaping. The addition of gel polish requires careful application and removal to avoid damaging the natural nails, which is why it’s recommended only for those aged 12 and up. This service also includes a scrub, lotion, and massage, providing a complete and enjoyable experience!
What Services Are Not Recommended for Kids and Teens?
Certain advanced nail services are not recommended for younger clients due to potential damage to their more delicate nails:
PURE SCULPT & PURE GEL-X Services
These services involve more intensive treatments that can put strain on natural nails. Given that children and teens are often involved in physical activities, these services are not suitable for anyone under 16. The focus for younger clients should be on gentle care to avoid compromising nail health. See our policies here.
E-Filing
This technique, which uses an electronic file, is generally avoided for those under 13 years old. Children’s nails are softer and more delicate, and e-filing can cause discomfort or damage. Instead, traditional filing methods are used to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
Customizing nail care services to the age and needs of children and teens is crucial for maintaining healthy nails and ensuring a positive experience. By booking age-appropriate treatments, you can help maintain their nail health while allowing them to enjoy a touch of pampering!
