I'm a beauty Therapist, my DD is 8. I've told her she can remove hair from her legs when she is old enough to handle the pain of waxing. To give her a slight idea, once when i was waxing my eye brows i put a tiny blob of hard wax on her leg the size of a pin head and told her to rip it off. It took one hair out and she carried on like a pork chop. Being that she is quite the little sook when it comes to pain, she wont be waxing legs for a long time. She's never seen me shave legs and probably wouldn't know its an option!

As for the hair thing, I won't even make a desicion like that until she's a teen, and when she is, then i'll make a desicion. I'd think around 14/15 would be the earliest.

Being that I am a beauty therapst and she sees waxing, tinting lash perming etc all the time, I'm very aware about her thinking she can be some beauty teen princess having all thses things done at some crazy early age. If anything, i'll make her wait even longer just to make a point!

I think 9 is WAY too young to even consider the hair thing...that do they have to look forward to when they are in their teens? Plus, I know a girl who had hair extentions at 10 (Seriouslly) and I was just mortified.
