A French bikini wax is a type of bikini wax that involves removing most of the hair from around the front and sides of the pubic area, but leaving a thin strip of hair, known as the landing strip, in the center. It is similar to a full bikini wax, but with a smaller landing strip of hair. This style of waxing is also sometimes referred to as a "standard bikini line" on salon menus. The French wax differs from other styles like a Brazilian wax, which involves removing hair from the entire vagina area, including the labia.
