A new beauty parlour offering pampering, beauty and hair styling services for the under 13s has just been launched in Brentwood, Essex.
The Trendy Monkeyz salon offers a whole host of treatments aimed at youngsters including fruit smoothie facials, girls pedicures and manicures and also hair styling. The salon has also incorporated a Princess Party Package as part of their services which offers girly girls the chance to host a birthday party at the salon and enjoy the full VIP service.
As part of the party package, the girls can also choose to add on extras to their day, including the use of a chauffeur driven limousine which will collect the party from one destination, and deliver them to the salon in the lap of luxury.
Although this may sound like many a young girls’ dream, the salon has come under fire from some children’s rights campaigners who believe the adult like services offered will encourage the girls to grow up too quickly and also prompts girls to start thinking and worrying about their appearances of too young of an age.
The salon has defended its decision to offer pamper and beauty treatments for under 13s in the press saying the salon will help young girls “exude confidence” and also enjoy the experience of having treatments with all of their friends.
There certainly seems to be a call for this kind of service in Brentwood, which also happens to be the setting for the popular glamorised reality TV show The Only Way is Essex, as the salon has already taken 15 bookings for its princess pamper parties despite having only opened their doors last weekend.
