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

sorry, my daughter isnt getting anything like that done until she's old enough to pay for it herself.

1. I can maybe, maybe, maybe see the hair highlights, but none of the other services.

Good grief.

3. ok, my daughter did get highlights at age 12

but thats because we get her hair done at my sis-in-laws salon.

4. If my daughter felt uncomfortable with her appearance

in her bikini area, and a bikini wax would resolve it, then why not?

Some girls mature faster than others and I would rather her be confident than self-conscious.

5. Oh it gets worse than that...

Read Mark Morford's column about bikini waxes for 8 year olds.True and very sick.What are they gonna wax on an 8 year old?

Creeped me out.

Khash.

6. Thats what I was wondering

I would NOT have been a candidate for waxing until like 14..The eight year olds..S+R (sick and wrong)

7. Licensed, and yet non practicing hairstylist, piping up...

That was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen. One, as a hairstylist, I limited the age to which I applied chemicals to a child's head to 16. So many hormones are going wonky and why would one want to destroy a child's hair at such a young age. Perms don't take well...highlights end up grabbing, frying and looking fake. God, I could go on and on. They can get it done, but it ain't gonna be me behind the chair.

9. I was only a hairstylist as a hobby

But I totally agree with you. I set the limit at 18. And I'd tell people, you can find someone to do this to your kid but it won't be me.

Khash.

8. I feel like I could be arrested just for reading that subject line

What the HELL are people thinking?

10. I demand anal bleaching from my haren of pre-teens

:crazy:

11. Why would a kid need microdermabrasion?

How much sun damage can someone accumulate by the time one is 11 years old? :shrug:

12. There'll always be a market that caters to vanity
