Bikini Waxing for Tweens! Have Spas Gone Too Far?
Critic Says Emphasis on Appearance Can Be Deterimental to Girls

The simple mother-daughter stress-reducing day at the spa — complete with perfect manicures and pedicures — has morphed into a full-fledged booming beauty business.
Giving young children a trip to the spa is a growing trend among parents.

Some spas now are giving their tween clients resort-type treatments and pint-size pampering. The offerings go beyond the typical painted nails.

Catering to a kid's every possible desire, some spas have stepped up their tween care by offering hair highlights, microdermabrasion and bikini waxes for girls as young as 11 and 12.

"I feel it's part of hygiene. When it's appropriate and they need to, they'll be doing it," said Kelly Burrus, mother of 11-year-old Bella Burrus.

Blame the parents not the children.

But another perspective if you will.

I go to a place that does sugaring, it is owned and oreated by an Egyptian lady and she has a mainly Egyptian/Persian clientel. She said that all of her clients bring in their daughters to get waxed/sugared as soon as they grow dark hair on the skin.

The theory is that eventually the hair stops growing back or grows back so fine it is barely noticable. So these girls by time they reach 19 - 20 they barely have to get any waxing/sugaring done.

but they wax arms and legs and dem tings mi noh know bout di bikini.
