Bikini Waxing Styles

keep in mind that every salon and spa has their own names or versions of how much, or what hair is to be removed for the price on their menu. And because a facility offers bikini waxes, doesn't automatically mean they will do all the styles for both women and men. This editorial is describing the styles as they would relate to women.
