Would you be more enticed to go to a salon if they had a child care center for your babies?

Question

I often think as a mom, it’s so hard to make time for myself due to lack of childcare and money.  But if there was a salon that allowed me to bring my 3 month old baby and toddler at no extra cost, while I was getting my hair done, I might go more often.  So if there was a salon who had a child care center in it, would it make you want to go more often? Just curious if there are other moms out there who think like me.

Answer

Eh most people go to salons to get a break from kids or whatever else it may be. The area where they take kids would have to be connected to the salons so you’d probably still hear your kids and get stressed out. So no I wouldn’t be. Plus I don’t trust many people with my child so I’d be stressed about how they’re caring for her as well. Doesn’t sound too fun for me

Answer

I think that's a lot to ask for for no additional cost

Answer

Not me personally. I’m a SAHM and I don’t trust anyone but close family to watch my kids. I guess if I didn’t have family close I might think differently though.

Answer

My husband takes care of the kids solo when I want to do something like that. If I’m doing that kind of stuff it’s usually to get away from my kids anyway lol

Answer

No. First of all it takes 3-4 hrs to have my hair done. Its unfair to ask a kid to hang out with a stranger for that long. Secondly,  the cost of opening a mini child care center, staffing it with qualified people, materials to entertain children of all ages, increased insurance costs and licensing costs would probably double the cost of getting my hair done or bankrupt the salon.

Answer

No,  only because my baby is almost 12 years old and we go together and make it a girl's day now.

Answer

No. I’m not handing my kid over to some rando once every 2 months. I realize not everyone has the option, but I generally use personal time from work to go while my guy is at daycare, or I’ll work a little longer every other day that week to make up the time. 
I also think it would appear to be no cost, but someone has to pay the person to watch the kids, so I imagine it would just increase the salon pricing. The money has to come from somewhere, and it wouldn’t be from the bottom line.

Answer

No because even if it’s for a half hour and my kids are in the next room, I still want to trust the people watching my kids. I just schedule any time I go around when my husband is home or my MIL has a few hours

Answer

No. I just schedule my appointment when I can find someone to watch my girls
