Some young teens getting are getting regular and Brazilian bikini waxes. Should they be allowed to get these hair removal services without their parent's permission? Tell us your opinion. Share Your Opinion

no

If they really want it and think it is appropiate for them then they should be able to do it on their own. I sure wouldn't want my parents knowing what went on below my bikini line.

yes

Not only is it professional but protects the therapist! I always have a parent present for any treatment, sugaring or facials.

I went through puberty when I was very young; which can be a confusing time, let alone a primary school student. So therefore I would support any girl who wanted a bikini wax as long as she asked her parents first.

No

I don't think teens need consent from their parents because if they are responsible enough to book the appointment and pay for it themselves, what does it matter? Also their parents aren't going to be looking at their bikini areas anyway.

10yrs Experience in Brazilian Waxing

See Jessa Skin to confirm my experience. We won best bikini wax this year and you definitely need consent. Until you are 18yrs old no one can be waxed in that area without consent.

yes

only protect the esthetician. there are some crazy parents out there that can sue or charge for "molestation"... that can destroy an esthetician's career!

No

Of course they shouldn't have to get permission. It's their bodies. Their parents aren't going to be seeing their bikini areas, so why does it matter? As long as they are safe about it, there is no problem for teenagers to get bikini waxes.

parents

My wife has ben waxing for the past five years and she has many teenage clients. Like with any procedure you need consent. A mother came in with 2 young girls and gave permisssion for them. Both got Brazilians, but she was only the mother of 1 of the girls. She almost got shut down.
