Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions

Everything you need to know about our mobile service area, preparing for a visit, and the health protocols I follow.

What areas do you travel to:

Tammy Ash serves the Kansas City metro area — licensed in both Missouri & Kansas. Based in Richmond, Missouri, so travel up to 1 hour & 10 minutes is included. Visits beyond that, up to 1 hour & 15 minutes, incur an additional fee. If you're unsure whether you fall within range, reach out and we'll confirm. 

How do I prepare for a home visit?

Simply provide a clean, well-lit space with access to a power outlet and a comfortable chair for yourself and me if we're doing nail services. For hair services that require water, a nearby sink is required — outside of that I bring everything else I'll need.  

What health & safety protocols do you follow?

All instruments are hospital-grade sterilized between every client. I use single-use gloves, and follow full clinical hygiene protocols. My medical nail care includes a health assessment before treatment begins.

Are your nail services safe for diabetics & do you do ingrown toenails?

Yes. My medical pedicure and diabetic foot care are specifically designed for clients with diabetes, circulatory concerns, or sensitive feet. I use gentle, extra-careful techniques and assess nail and skin health before any treatment.

As a Medical Nail Technician, I am qualified to do ingrown nails just like a Podiatrist. Please don't every let a salon do this as you can get an infection easily and they are not licensed to do such a service.  

Do you offer nail enhancements or acrylics?

No. We focus exclusively on natural nail health and medical nail care. We don't apply acrylics, gel extensions, or other enhancements — our priority is the integrity and health of your natural nails. However, I do offer nail restoration which is a flexible layer to help your natural nail grow out safely, this is for an additional fee.

How long does a typical service take?

It depends on the service. A medical pedicure usually takes between 15-30 minutes depending on the severityand what level of service I'm providing, while haircuts can be 20-30 min each. Services can take up to 2 hours with multiple services added.

Every visit is paced to your comfort, but please keep in mind you need to be ready upon my arrival as there is only a 10 min wait time to stay on track for my other clients. 

Do I need to be home for the appointment of a loved one?

Yes, an adult must be present for the duration of the visit if the client is immobile, has disabilities, is bedridden, has dementia/alzheimers or autism. For clients with limited mobility, I'm happy to provide bedside or seated service wherever is most comfortable. 

How do I book or ask more questions?

I don't use an online booking system. Simply call or text Tammy Ash at (816) 517-4673  — I'll talk through your needs and arrange a visit that works for you.
