Jasmine Moss is charged with child neglect and will appear in court Wednesday.
Although two cars were in Moss’ driveway Tuesday afternoon, no one came to the door to talk.
Action News 5 spoke with Melanie Saulsbury, the owner of the Memphis Skin Academy in Bartlett, for her input as a licensed esthetician.
“Myself, being a mother, I probably would not have my child as young as five doing a service such as that,” said Saulsbury.
On Wednesday, February 15, officers received a series of complaints regarding social media posts showing disturbing images involving a young girl.
The reported images were uploaded to Moss’ Instagram account, which she used to promote her hair removal service. Police say three images posted by Moss show the young girl applying hot wax to the nude pubic area of adults.
“In Tennessee, you have to be at least 16 years old to actually get hours to obtain a license to become an esthetician, said Saulsbury.
To become a licensed esthetician in the state of Tennessee, you must complete 750 hours of training and pass written and physical examinations.
Moss identified the young child as her daughter in the Instagram post, which also boasts that the child waxed 24 clients for more than eight hours, according to the affidavit.
Saulsbury said waxing is too dangerous for a child.
“Even as an adult professional, you can get burned,” said Saulsbury.
