How young Is as well young for Manicures as well as Pedicures?

Out of the blue the other night as I was getting Connor Claire prepared for bed, she directed at her fingers as well as said, “Mama, paint my hands. You paint my hands as well as my feet, mama, okay?”

LOL! I’m quite sure she was asking for a mani/pedi from me. ?

I’m not precisely sure where she got the idea, since I typically do my nails when she’s asleep, because it’s the only time I have to sit still long sufficient for my polish to dry. She doesn’t ever see me really doing the nail painting part. I assumption she must’ve seen it on TV or heard about it in preschool.

It was both endearing as well as a bit shocking at the exact same time, since the very first time I ever got a manicure was in college.

COLLEGE.

I was 19, as well as I keep in mind choosing out a soft, creamy pink for my nails, as well as when the nail tech was done, I pulled a twenty out of my purse (which was the bulk of my paycheck at the time) as well as stated to please keep the change.

I don’t believe there’s a best or wrong response to concerns like this, since every kid as well as every family’s different (plus, I’ve been dressing up my feline as well as calling him a kitty supermodel for much more than a decade, so I’m not one to judge), however I am curious. exactly how commonplace are mani/pedis among young children as well as youngsters these days?

I’ve overheard a few mothers at the playground speaking about exactly how they like to take their two-year-olds to get manicures as well as pedicures at the salon, as well as now I’m all of a sudden recalling having seen many, numerous photos of young children as well as somewhat older kids on Instagram as well as social network getting their fingers as well as toes finished with their moms.

I don’t understand if it’s since I didn’t go to my very first nail beauty salon up until I was older, however I’ve always believed of it as a adult thing. Am I alone in this?

Not to state that I don’t plan to paint Connor’s nails before she’s out of high school. I’m sure I will, however she seems to have forgotten about it for now. If/when she asks me again, I’m going to tell her that we can do it for special occasions, like her birthday, as well as we’ll do it at home.

And when she’s older, like perhaps in middle institution or high school, if she expresses an interest, I may take her to the nail salon… Or she can just get a task as well as pay for it herself like I did. LOL!

What do you think? exactly how young is as well young for manicures as well as pedicures?
