Beauty parlor for kids causes political outrage
A beauty parlor established specifically for kids sparked political outrage in Scotland as parents and politicians alike denounce such a move to beautify kids who basically don’t care about their looks at such as young age.
The Members of the Scottish Parliament believe that Tantrims and Tiaras salon has gone overboard when it decided to offer complete makeovers, alcohol-free champagnes and fake tattoos to the kids. According to one of the officials, this creates a trend of “sexualizing” young children.
Despite the protests, some parents have already taken their kids to the parlor and can only give glowing reviews, stating that the kids loved the experience and it served as their quality bonding time as families.
MSP Sandra White is spearheading a parliamentary motion this week and will discuss the issue.
The officials believe that children are now being pressured at such a young age to act a certain way and hinder their healthy and natural development. They believe that the pressure can cause stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders to the kids. Fellow MSP Margaret Mitchell said that kids should not worry about their physical looks for now and just enjoy their childhood like the way it should be.
