🌟 Brazilian, Hollywood, Bikini Wax: What’s the Difference?

Thinking about getting waxed "down there" but not sure what all the different names mean? 😅Bikini? Brazilian? Hollywood?? — It can get confusing fast.

Let’s clear things up so you know exactly what you’re booking — no surprises, just smooth results. 😌✨



👙 Bikini Wax

The classic. Just the basics.


The classic cleanup.

A bikini wax removes hair along the sides of your intimate area — anything that would show outside of standard underwear or swimwear.

👉 Great for:

  • First-timers

  • Light grooming

  • A natural look with a clean edge


Coverage:✔️ Inner thighs (outer edges)✔️ Top of the pubic area❌ No hair removed from the genitals or between the cheeks

Pain level: 😌 Mild


💃 Brazilian Wax

A little more… or a lot more. Your choice!


A Brazilian wax includes hair removal from the front, genital area, and you can choose to include or skip the butt strip. You can also choose to leave a small shape in the front — like a strip or triangle — or go mostly bare.

👉 Great for:

  • More thorough hair removal

  • A smoother feel without going completely hair-free

  • Swimwear or lingerie prep


Coverage:✔️ Front and pubic mound✔️ Genitals✔️ Optional between-the-cheeks✔️ Optional strip or triangle left in front

Pain level: 😬 Medium to spicy


🍑 Hollywood Wax

Smooth. Everywhere. Period.


A Hollywood wax removes all hair from the intimate area: the pubic mound, genitals, and between the cheeks. Nothing is left behind.

👉 Great for:

  • Maximum smoothness

  • Long-lasting results

  • That clean, fresh feeling 🛁


Coverage:✔️ Entire front✔️ Genitals✔️ Between-the-cheeks❌ No hair left behind

Pain level: 😳 Spicy — but quick and effective

💡 Pro Tips for Your Appointment


✔️ Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (like a grain of rice)


✔️ Skip caffeine before your wax (it can make you more sensitive!)


✔️ Wear loose-fitting clothes to your appointment


✔️ Take deep breaths — it’ll be over before you know it





💕 Final Thoughts


Whether you want just a cleanup or full smoothness front-to-back, the right wax style is all about what makes you feel confident.

Everyone has different preferences and comfort levels — and that’s totally valid. Still unsure what to book? Just ask your waxing professional — they’ll walk you through it, no judgment ever.


🎯 TL;DR – Quick Recap:


  • Bikini Wax: Just the outer edges 👙

  • Brazilian Wax: Front + genitals, optional backside 💃

  • Hollywood Wax: Completely bare, front to back 🍑✨
