Are beauty treatments appropriate for children?

Have your say…

Are beauty treatments appropriate for children? With the surge in children’s pamper parties and a recent tabloid newspaper story about salons offering bikini wax treatments to children as young as nine, should there be restrictions on treating minors? Or with children maturing at an earlier age and becoming more body-conscious, should treatments be offered to self-conscious children who might otherwise be at risk of low self-esteem or even bullying?

What do you think?
