Ya... kids. Hate em, well their rude parental unit for bringing them. I had one take a running jump onto the new lotion bar counter and take the thing right off the wall. The "father with no back bone of year award" only came back to the front of the salon when the sister ratted her out. The father looks at me with a blank look, then says to the kids "you need to be careful." and they left.
"No children under the age of 12 permitted in salon." is now posted. One thing I found though is kids do NOT respond well to a stranger telling them to "shut up and sit down" in a stern voice. They dont expect it. Eventually they themselves will not even want to come to the salon!
It would not be a problem if they behaved, but screaming and running all around the salon while breaking stuff is NOT acceptable!
