I can only tell you how I operate when it comes to this subject.
Anyone under the age of 18 has to have a parent/guardian signed release. A parent also has to be present for any waxing done if the child is under the age of 16. 13 and up they can have any areas including private areas waxed with parent consent and presence. If they are under 13, I will not wax any private areas. I will not wax anything if the child is unwilling or uncooperative regardless of what the parents want.
I don't make it my job to determine what age is "old-enough", that's a parents responsibility. I only concern myself with what I am uncomfortable with and what I am willing to do. I've waxed eight year old's eyebrows who really did need them done and they handled it great. And I've refused to wax unwilling children hauled in by their deluded parents who think something needs to be done before the child is mentally ready for it. I have a client who brings in her two daughters with her for their bikini waxes before every vacation and it's always struck me as a nurturing thing to do. Guiding your child into puberty and adulthood is a parents responsibility, and I'm only there to help. So just lay down your guidelines and make yourself a consent form. Or I can send one to you if you'd like.

Samantha - I think your policy is just perfect!
Monica - I also think it depends a lot on the circumstances and desires of the child.
Brow shaping could definitely make sense.
I don't do leg waxing on anyone who is not willing to maintain it. I don't know that a child this young would be okay with the discomfort and the frequency. But maybe you should see her yourself and go from there.

I agree,once again, with Samantha, but just so you know, I've been waxing my son's eyebrows since he was 8. Lawds! He needed it!!! Lol

LOL! I know what you mean Amy, good for you!
My son is 19 and has needed it for years. I am STILL trying to talk him into it.

My little brother agreed to it and when it came down to the time (the wax was ready) I found him hiding under the bed.
Once it was done he was like "that's it?"

Waxing before puberty is the BEST way to start waxing it slows down the regrowth of the hair.
I would make sure a parent is present in the room.

It is GREAT to wax before she starts her period.....the hair is finer and will grow back even finer.
I had a client I waxed since she was 11yrs old,full leg,bikini,stomach,brow and lip....she was a swimmer and upset about all her dark hair on her body.
Her Mother paid for this monthly, she was the same way when she was her age.
It depends on the situation.
