Confused by all the different Brazilian wax styles?
From bikinis to Hollywood waxes, it can be hard to know what’s what—especially if it’s your first time.
Here’s a simple guide to every wax we offer, so you can choose with confidence.
Our Core Brazilian Waxes
Ok, we admit it. We’re stuck in a Brazilian bubble. We do Brazilian waxing all day, every day, and often forget that not everyone is as familiar with the different types of Brazilian waxes as we are.
So let us fill you in.
We offer 4 distinct types of Brazilian waxes; the X Brazilian, XX Brazilian, XXX Brazilian and XXXX Brazilian. It’s a lot of X’s, so let us run you through them:
| Brazilian Butterfly Wax | Also Known As | What It Involves |
|---|---|---|
| X Brazilian | Bikini Line Wax | Tidy around the top and sides |
| XX Brazilian | G-String / French | Higher sides + bottom, some hair left |
| XXX Brazilian | Brazilian | All off underneath, shape left on top |
| XXXX Brazilian | Hollywood / All Off | Completely bare — front, back, and everything |
It’s a lot of X’s, so let us run you through them:
X Brazilian – Bikini Line Tidy
The X Brazilian is our most minimal bikini wax — perfect for beginners or anyone who prefers a more natural look with a bit of grooming.
A great entry-level wax, the X Brazilian is perfect for keeping things neat while still feeling natural.
Removes: Hair from the top and sides of the bikini area — roughly two finger-widths in.
Leaves: A natural triangle or slim landing strip on the pubic bone. No hair is removed from the labia or bottom.
Best for: First-time waxers, or anyone who wants a subtle tidy-up before a beach trip or holiday.
Underwear: Can stay on — we’ll just move it slightly to access the sides. — we’ll just adjust it slightly as needed.
XX Brazilian – The G-String / French Wax
A step up from the bikini tidy, the XX Brazilian is more in line with a g-string style wax which offers more shaping while still leaving some hair.
Removes: Hair from higher up the bikini line and includes the bottom (between the cheeks).
Leaves: A long rectangular strip or triangle down the centre; labia hair remains.
Best for: Brides, new mums, or those wearing high-cut swimwear who want a bit more off without going fully bare.
Underwear: Can stay on, just adjusted as needed.
XXX Brazilian – The Classic Brazilian
Our most popular wax for those who want a smooth feel but prefer to leave a small patch of hair on top.
Removes: All hair from the labia, bikini line, and bottom.
Leaves: A small shape on the pubic bone (e.g. landing strip, triangle, or custom).
Best for: Regular waxers or anyone wanting a clean, confident result with a touch of personal style.
Underwear: Removed — you’ll be covered with a towel throughout.
XXXX Brazilian – The Hollywood (All Off)
The ultimate smooth finish — everything gone, front to back.
Removes: All pubic hair from the bikini area, labia, and bottom.
Leaves: Nothing at all.
Best for: Those who love a totally bare look and feel.
Underwear: Removed — but don’t worry, we keep things discreet and professional.
