Eyebrow shaping - will a salon be happy to pluck a 12 yo ?

My DD (12) has just announced that she plucks here brows in the middle to avoid a monobrow but she doesn't like her thick brows.

I am bally useless with eyebows myself, mine are trying to recover from my cack handed butchering in my teens/20s . I used Revitabrow which did help the growth but of course, they lose hairs over their cycle.

So , I don't want her ruining them and she's obviously concerned (Yes I remember being 12 yo)

Would a salon be prepared to shape her brows?
Or threading?
TIA

My dd(13)first got hers threaded when she was 12.

Dd was 12 when we went the first time we didn't have any problems.

Thanks

I will have a look around and take her somewhere in the school holidays.

My 12 year old DD told me a lot of her friends get bikini waxes prior to going on holiday. I was Shock and I don't think the place I go would do this but don't think eyebrows would be a problem. I would encourage my DD to keep her eyebrows thicker than mine though and have shown my own DD and friends photos of cara delevigne as a good example!

My DD brows are very bountiful but a lighter colour than mine so just need shaped. I think everyone has thicker brows than mine Grin , I need to use eyebrow pencil or Benefit BrowZing to make them significant.

Cara Delevigne eyebrows are not IMO in the least bit attractive, I know she an in vogue model, but then so was Brooke Shields in her day.

Also Shock @ the 12 yo bikini waxing but I guess puberty jits younger and younger now .
DD has been using hair remover on her legs for 6 months

She had them threaded today, very quick and simple.
She's very pleased Smile
They don't look 'done' but they look alot neater .

She has some clear gel to groom them.

dd is 12 and i've just started tidying hers up for her due to a monobrow situation. she's much happier not the middle bit has gone.
