| 12 yr old daughter wants to get her eyebrows waxed. I didn’t start until I was an adult. Think it’s okay if I allow her to? |

| Of course. Please don't have her be the girl with the caterpillar eyebrows. |

YES! I had big eyebrows when I was younger, and it really would’ve boosted my confidence to have them looking better.
I am coincidentally typing this while waiting to get my brows done! |

| Its fine. They grow back, so if she doesn't like it, she can just not have them done again. |

| Do not take her to a chap nail place to get them done though. Take her to someone who will shape them. |

| Yes, my 12 yo started getting hers done at 9 or 10. She has dark hair and they were creeping into unibrow territory. |

| I've known plenty of girls (and women) who fell into the over-plucking trap, and it takes forever to get them back looking healthy again. Definitely better to get them shaped professionally than to let her start trying to pluck them and ending up with a mess. |

| Consider threading instead - easier on the skin and helps maintain a more natural shape. And YES!!!! Help your daughter feel confident! It might seem like nothing but it’s huge. I still remember being teased on the bus for having a ‘mustache’ in 7th grade, I’m 36 now! |

| I'd have her get them waxed once and threaded once, so she can decide which method she prefers. |

| I recently took both my 11 and 13yos (one boy, one girl) to the place I’ve been going for years. They both had been asking and were just shaped and cleaned up, no problem. |

| Yes. I didn't until college. I wish my mom had been open to it. |

| No , next shes gonna want to get full face of makeup and become an influencer. Be prepared to buy eyebrow kits to fill in her brows. 12 is way too young. Insane. |
