Too much hair? Dare to bare? Don’t really care?
And hearts, diamonds, and four leaf clovers? My God is this a bikini wax or a box of Lucky Charms?
Here are some general guidelines…and remember, there will always be variations of waxing styles depending on the practitioner and/or salon, but these should cover the broad idea.
Basic bikini: Removes the hair just outside a modest panty line.
When to choose: If you are want only a simple clean up and some definition.
Full bikini: Takes the sides and tops of the bikini line deeper than a regular bikini wax (right up to the middle). Also includes top and inner thighs.
When to choose: If you want a more liberal bikini line, or more defined look than a basic bikini.
French bikini: Takes all hair off the bikini area, inner thigh, and the middle but leaves a small strip or triangle in the front – no backside.
When to choose: You want a smooth, clean look in the front and middle but don’t want to be completely bare.
Brazilian bikini: All gone! All hair is removed from the bikini area, inner thigh, the middle and backside.
When to choose: The perfect option if you wear a thong, or want to be completely hairless in front and back.
Now if you want to get REALLY creative, ask for one of these delightful shapes! Who knew? For me, it’s a toss-up between the Captain Obvious and The Dark Side. Which shape suits you?
