5 Popular Bikini Wax Styles & How To Choose

Whether you want just a little off the top, or if you’re trying to remove all of your hair down there, one of the best parts of getting a bikini wax is that there’s quite a few options at your disposal.

At Brave Kitty Waxing, we believe in making the process as transparent as possible so that you feel comfortable in knowing exactly what to expect and how we can help you have the best experience. For that very reason, we’re going to paw through some of the most popular bikini wax styles!

Bikini line touch up

Let’s start at the most basic of styles: the bikini line touch up. Simply known as the bikini wax, this form of pubic hair waxing is the least invasive and removes the least amount of hair from the pubic bone. When getting a bikini wax, you can expect your edges to be touched up and re-defined, as well as a little off the top. This simplistic look is meant for those who enjoy having their body hair, but want to look a little more tidy when going out in a bikini or bodysuit.

The full bikini 

Going a little deeper, we have the full bikini experience. This waxing service takes the minimalistic approach of the standard bikini wax, but elevates it ever so slightly by removing slightly more hair off the sides and top of your pubic area. Just like a standard bikini wax, this service is best for those who enjoy hair but want a little more definition to their look. 

The full bikini wax can be tailored to create a shape or style of your choosing. You can make your hair choices a fun part of your personality! This wax also foregoes removing any hairs between your cheeks and only caters to the front of your pubic area.

The French wax

Practically a twin sister to the Brazilian wax, the French wax is an overhaul to the pubic area, leaving little to no hair on the front of the pubic bone. The main difference separating the French wax from a full brazilian wax is that the French wax will only address the front side of your pubic hair and avoid any action between the cheeks. Overall, we recommend getting a french wax if you like the look and feel of a Brazilian, but would prefer to keep your back end in its natural state.

A Brazilian Wax 

Seen as a waxing staple, the brazilian wax is a signature service both inside and outside the waxing community. Made famous through its prevalence in Hollywood, the brazilian wax caters to those who want to take most of the hair off of their pubic area - including the hair between the cheeks. Usually this service can be customized to leave as much or as little hair as you’d like. 

The Hollywood Wax

The Hollywood wax and the Brazilian wax are often used interchangeably. In this case, a Hollywood wax is a designation given to a waxing experience that uses wax to remove any and all hair within the pubic region. This total hair removal process works to leave you looking and feeling smooth in both the front, middle, and back of the groin area, just like a Brazilian.

Which bikini wax style should you choose? 

Since there are so many options, the choice on what option may work best for you may feel a little overwhelming. In all honesty, what it comes down to is your simple preference and desired level of upkeep. Although the choice will be up to you, here are some things to keep in mind when making your decision.  

What benefits are you looking for when getting a bikini wax?

When it comes down to it, you need to know what you’re looking for in a bikini wax. If you’re used to a hair-free look, consider the Brazilian and Hollywood services. If you prefer something a little less dramatic and more low maintenance, consider a simple bikini wax or a full bikini wax to get you on the right path.  

What services does your esthetician offer? 

While most of these services should be provided at your local waxing salon, there may be some locations that are limited in what they offer. Check with your wax specialist to determine what options are available to you!
