How is Brazilian hair removal different from Hollywood hair removal?
Brazilian and Hollywood waxing cover the same area – the front, the sides, the labia and the area between the buttocks. The only difference is the pubic mound: with a Brazilian you can ask us to leave a thin strip, while Hollywood is a Brazilian wax with no strip, leaving the skin completely smooth.
Brazilian waxing – what it covers
A Brazilian wax removes hair from the whole bikini area: the front, the sides, the labia and between the buttocks. If you wish, your therapist will leave a thin vertical strip on the pubic mound (a landing strip). You can also choose a small triangle or a shape such as a heart. It is a good option if you want smoothness in the most intimate areas but prefer to keep a little hair at the front.
Hollywood waxing – what it covers
Hollywood is a Brazilian wax without the strip. The area treated is exactly the same – front, sides, labia and back – but no hair is left, so the skin is completely smooth. Many clients choose it for aesthetic reasons and a feeling of freshness, especially in summer and with high-cut swimwear.
