What is a Brazilian Wax

A Brazilian wax removes hair from your pubic area, either making it completely bare or leaving a small landing strip or triangle of hair. This is different from a bikini wax, which only removes hair along your bikini line, near your pubic area, but not removing anything that is covered by your bikini. If you prefer more minimal hair removal, we do offer bikini waxing as well as full Brazilians.

Brazilian waxing got its name from a group of Brazilian sisters (the J Sisters) who started offering the service at their Manhattan salon in 1987. They said they used this technique because bikinis back home in Brazil were smaller and there was a strong focus on personal grooming.
