Anyone ever had mothers bring their kids in with them and take them into the room with them. i find it rather odd. happened here a couple times and the kids are probably 7-8 years old i dont understand it. what would you guys say or do about it? Thanks!

It's against Federal Law!!! The kids are being exposed to UV light when they are in the room.

1 Client per room at a time. Are you giving the kids eye protection? Who watches the kid while the she's tanning if the canopy is down and she can't see the kid? Do you want the liability of the kid getting hurt in the room while the parent is not watching? Do you want the liability of the parent saying her kids eyes are bad from you not supplying eye protection? One person per room no matter what tell them it's health code.

Salons are not daycare centers. However I do know of one successful chain that actually has a room for kids and supplies toys etc and the door shuts and is under camera surveillance in these rooms and they allow kids to wait there. It actually works out really well for this chain. I have a friend who's staff was suppose to be watching a kid in the lobby for a client and the kid walked out while staff was cleaning beds 3 hours later police find the kid in the forest. It's just not worth watching kids in my opinion.

I have listed in my salon policies that children under 12 are not to be left unattended (as in alone in the waiting area), and only one person in the room at a time. I tell people it's because of a) eyewear, and b) my insurance.

It depends on your state law, Some will let you if they are wearing eye protection but who says they are actually keeping them on thier face!! I had to switch this to over 5 can sit in the lobby under 5 must have an adult sit with them in the lobby, but again liability!!
