Do you think a 9 year old is to young for acylic nails?

Question

i would like to practice on someone but the thing is the only person i really know to practice on is my 9 year old step-daughter..do you think she is to young?

Answer 1

Way too young, but I would have fun and paint her nails for her.  Girls at that age still don' t clean underneath their finger nails unless told.  EWWW!  Can you imagine the dirt and bacteria underneath acrylic ones?  Besides that, if you start this up now, she  will grow to expect all these "extras" that cost more money and aren't necessary.

Answer 2

Nine seems pretty young, unless it's for Halloween. Is it still summer where you live? Because it'd be better if she didn't wear them to school.

It's a little inappropriate for a 3rd or 4th grader to wear fake nails to school....

Answer 3

too young

Answer 4

I think too young - buy the fake hand.

Answer 5

yes she is to young it would make her head big

Answer 6

No. I don't thinking giving a 9 year old acrylic nails would affect her for the rest of her life. Go for it. It's probably something she'd enjoy.

Answer 7

She does seem just a little young.But I wasn't allowed to get acylic nails til I was 14.But then again,these will come off in a week or two so eh why not? just make sure she doesn't do anything where the nails will effect her (like play a sport or play a musical instruments,I learned the hard way you cannot play guitar with acylic nails)

Answer 8

I would say for two reasons why you shouldn't do it one she is too young 2 you don't have permission from her mom or dad.

Answer 9

yes, it all goes to their head (experience).

Answer 10

I think she is to young...can u practice on your friens?

Answer 11

I believe so. it would make her look older and at that age too many little girls are looking older then what they are.

Answer 12

I think it is too young.  But, if she wants to do it, you could just make them pretty short.  Our schools haven't opened yet, so I would let my daughter do it as long as they were off before school opens.

Answer 13

Personally I think so, it would make her look older than she actually is.  

Answer 14

i think its up to her mother.. if she says it cool then go for it!

Answer 15

She is too young - but what about the parents of her friends?

Answer 16

Simple awnser, yes

Answer 17

i wouldnt do it unless you want her to look trashy. its not a good idea if you ask me. I bet a neighbor would jump at the chance to get their nails done for free so you can practice

Answer 18

absolutely.......why acrylic nails?  I take my 7 year old to the nail salon and she gets them painted for 5$.  They even throw a pretty design on one for free.  We also paint each others nails sometimes while watching a show or movie she likes.  Sorry I just think the acrylics a little extreme

Answer 19

Acrylic nails are NOT even good for adults!!!!!

The last thing a 9-year old girl needs is someone to push her into being an adult!

Answer 20

I'd say she's a little young.  

Answer 21

yea she is way to young and ur husband would most likely freak out

Answer 22

I think 9 is too young as well. If you are practicing for a license or something maybe you could just put them on her one weekend and remove them again at the end of the day. That way you can practice and she can feel like a big girl for a day. I wouldn't leave them on her though for longer then that.
