Pushy mum forces daughter, 2, to get Shellac nails
An alarmed woman has raged over the “crazy behaviour” of another parent, after her two-year-old child was spotted getting a Shellac manicure.
A woman was left horrified when she saw a two-year-old child having Shellac nails in a nail salon.
She took to Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable? forum to explain the situation, revealing it had taken place on a “hot humid afternoon” in a salon that “stinks to high heaven of nail glue”, The Sun reports.
“Among the various women and nine-year-olds having their holiday nails done, is a two-year-old, sucking a dummy, having Shellac nails done,” she wrote.
“They’re using the plug-in file on her tiny nails. The mum is here and argued with the salon owner who said she was too young, got really s**tty and in her face to have it done, so it’s happening but the poor nail tech doesn’t look happy about it.”
Concluding her post, she asked whether or not she was being unreasonable by saying that toddlers shouldn’t have Shellac – writing “damage to tiny nail beds, toxic chemicals, sexualisation of children as reasons off the top of my head”.
People quickly took to the comments section to insist she wasn’t being at all unreasonable, with one writing, “There should be a test you need to pass to procreate.”
“What the actual …” another added.
The woman then returned to the post to give an update, writing, “The child is starting to cry so the mother now has her gripped sat on her knee so her little hands can reach the CND lights.”
“I have no idea why the nail salon didn’t ask her and her mother to leave,” someone else commented.
“I can’t believe the salon owner and the nail technician agreed to it!” another person weighed in. “Absolutely crazy behaviour.”
“That’s awful,” another comment read.
“My daughter wanted hers done aged about eigh, I did ask the salon (hoping they would say she was too young) and they said def too young, the UV light is damaging to their soft nails.”
