(iWIDK By Ashley Woodhouse) - Uni K Waxing, with several locations throughout New York City, is offering 50 percent off bikini waxes for girls 15 and younger during the month of July.

The Huffington Post reported that young girls have received hair removal treatments in the past, and the idea of salons targeting tween girls reinforces this growing trend.

Uni K Wax stands by their promotion, stating that it is intended to help young girls boost their self-esteem.

The salon requires minors younger than 17 to have their parents sign a consent form before they receive any hair removing treatments.
