Waxing is one way to maintain hygiene in your bikini area. Because there are several types of bikini wax that most waxing salon usually offers, you can choose which one suits your lifestyle.

What is a bikini wax?

A bikini wax removes hair from areas seen outside a bathing suit, leaving hair on the pubic bone. It can be a basic tidying or more extensive. For your first time, a basic bikini wax is recommended, removing hair outside the panty line. You can customize your wax by specifying the areas you want hair removed.

Basic Bikini

The basic bikini wax targets areas visible in a bathing suit, removing hair up to four fingers wide from the bikini line and two fingers wide on top. It is a great option for first-timers, offering a simple and less painful experience. This wax style is ideal for those seeking a tidy look without extensive hair removal. The process involves waxing any hair outside a bikini bottom, typically removing one to two fingers' width of hair around and above the bikini line.

French Bikini

The French bikini wax, sometimes known as a "landing strip," is a popular choice that removes most of the hair from the pubic area, leaving hair in both the labia and back. This style typically features a single strip of hair in the front, but the shape can be customized to suit individual preferences. Unlike a standard bikini wax, the French bikini wax goes slightly inside where a swimsuit would cover. It is a great option for those who want a neat appearance without being completely bare. This waxing style can also include the removal of hair from the buttocks if desired.

Full Bikini

The full bikini wax, while not as comprehensive as a Brazilian, offers more hair removal than a standard bikini wax. It removes hair from the sides and top of the pubic area, providing a more defined look. Unlike a Brazilian, it doesn't include hair removal between the cheeks. This waxing service can be customized to create different shapes or styles, allowing for personalization based on preference. It is a great choice for those who want a more groomed appearance without going completely bare.

Brazilian

The full Brazilian bikini wax is the most comprehensive option, removing all hair from the entire pubic area. This includes the front of the bikini area, the sides, the labia, and the butt strip. While this waxing style is known for being more intense and covering sensitive areas, many clients find the experience less painful than expected. The result is a completely smooth and hair-free finish, perfect for those wanting a totally bare look.

Triangle

The triangle bikini wax, also known as the Bermuda triangle or full bikini wax, removes all hair from front to back, including the labia and buttocks, leaving a small triangle of hair in the front bikini area. This style is a step up from the basic bikini wax, shaping the remaining hair on your pubic bone into a triangle. The size of the triangle is customizable, with options for a more natural, fuller triangle or a petite triangle above the labia.
