A Hollywood wax is a type of intimate waxing where all pubic hair is removed from the whole intimate area, including the labia, perineum, anus, and mons pubis. It is the most complete type of intimate waxing, removing all pubic hair as well as hair growing around the labia, upper thighs, and anus. The Hollywood wax is similar to a Brazilian wax, but unlike a Brazilian wax, it removes all hair from the front to the middle, leaving no strip of hair behind. Some salons may refer to a Hollywood wax as a Brazilian wax, which can cause confusion. The Hollywood wax is reportedly named after its popularity among Hollywood actors.
