Bikini line laser hair removal can be classified in four types that has variable names depending on the skin clinic visited.

  • American bikini line is removal of hair at the top of the thighs and under the navel when wearing a bikini. It is also known as a basic bikini wax.
  • French bikini linie leaves a vertical strip in front (a landing strip), two to three finger-widths in length just above the vulva. It is also known as a partial Brazilian. Hair of the peri-anal area and labia may be removed. Removal of hair from these areas is also known as the Playboy wax or G-waxing.
  • Brazilian laser hair removal refers to a removal of everything, front to back, while sometimes leaving a thin strip of hair on the pubis. An extreme form of bikini line laser hair removal, it involves complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis). Waxes that remove all of the pubic hair are known as a full Brazilian wax, full Bikini wax, Hollywood wax or the Sphinx.

Further subgroups for laser hair removal around the bikini line:

  • The Bikini Line: This is the least extreme form. All pubic hair covered by the bikini is left in place. Only straggling hairs on either side are removed, so that none are visible when a bikini with high-cut sides is being worn.
  • The Full Bikini: Only a small amount of hair is left, on the Mount of Venus (the mons pubis)
  • The European: All pubic hair is removed ‘except for a small patch on the mound’.
  • The Triangle: All pubic hair is removed except for a sharply trimmed triangle with the central, lower point aimed at the top of the genitals. It has been described as ‘an arrowhead pointing the way to pleasure’.
  • The Moustache: Everything is removed except for a wide, rectangular patch just above the hood at the top of the genital slit. This is sometimes called ‘The Hitler’s Moustache’, sometimes ‘Chaplin’s Moustache’.
  • The Heart: The main pubic tuft is shaped into a heart symbol and may be dyed pink. This is a popular style for St. Valentine’s Day, presented as an erotic surprise to a sexual partner.
  • The Landing Strip: The central hair is trimmed into a narrow vertical strip and all other pubic hair is removed. This has become popular with models who must wear clothes or swimsuits of an extreme narrowness in the crotch region.
  • The Playboy Strip: Everything is removed except for a long, narrow rectangle.
  • The Brazilian: This is the most famous bikini line hair removal but there is some confusion about its exact form. To some it is the same as the Landing Strip, leaving only a ‘vertical stripe of hair’. To still others it signifies the removal of all pubic hair.
  • The Sphynx: This is unambiguously the ‘everything off’ style, leaving a completely hairless pubic region. The name is derived from that of a naked breed of cat from Canada. The smooth-skinned, hairless Sphynx Cat was a genetic oddity discovered in Toronto in 1966. Some skin clinics refer to ‘the Sphynx’ as ‘the Hollywood’.
