I’m coming from the University District — how is a bikini wax different from a Brazilian?

A bikini wax ($45) only tidies the outer line that would show outside a swimsuit, while a Brazilian ($75) removes everything at the front plus the buttstrip. Getting here from the University District takes a 5-minute ION ride or 15–30 minute walk, and most University District clients keep to the usual rhythm: every 4–5 weeks.
