Girls as young as six can get their hair blown out, their nails manicured and their bodies moisturized. In addition to lighter treatments, more invasive ones, such as chemical peels and waxes, are available at some spas. - Girls can have both manicures and pedicures, ranging from simple buffing and filing to ones including fragrant skin scrubs and extravagant nail art.
