There have been many threads on this subject- some will say try it others will say the age limit is there for a reason- personally I would not do it - we plan to take our youngest who will be days away from 3 to the Main Street Barber Shop instead for ther first trim - which will get her some pixie dust and glitter- for the older 2 we will probably do BBB again. She will need to be able to still, allow the ladies to put on the make- up , nail polish and fix her hair ( which involves pulling ti back pretty tightly). I don't know if she can do it but personally I would save it for a later trip when she is older and can appreciate/enjoy it more.
