The newest trend in beauty also happens to be one of the most disturbing: pre-tween waxing!
According to Wanda Stawczyk, who runs Wanda's European Skin Care, the number of young clients coming to her salon has skyrocketed - from just two in 1998, to more than 200 customers last year. Juanita Martin, manager of the swanky Juvenex Spa - best known for its celeb clients and late-night spa treatments - agrees.
"We're seeing younger kids coming to the spas with their parents," says Martin. She estimates that Juvenex waxed 10 child-clients, ranging from 8 to 10 years old, this year. That's compared to none five years ago. "I know other spas are also seeing younger children getting all sorts of treatments, like waxing," she says.
TriBeCa's Eden Spa waxed 20 pre-tweens last year.
"I have one customer who started getting her eyebrows waxed. She's 6 years old," says Eden's manager, Evette Jiang.

Actually, this kid looks like she needs some lipo, too, or she'll never get to sing at the next Olympics.
I wish I could donkey punch each and every one of these moronic parents.
And the parents of the child beauty queens.
Absolutely disgusting.
there's a lot of other appealing aspects too.
