Women go for a Brazilian wax for many reasons: some believe it’s more hygienic and less messy during “that time of the month”, others want to prevent a wardrobe malfunction when they wear a bikini.
For the uninitiated, Brazilian waxing removes body hair in and around the pubic region. This can mean a bikini wax, which removes hair in areas that a small bikini bottom will not be able to cover. It can also mean a complete removal of hair from the front, around the labia, and from your butt crack (some call this The Hollywood).
It’s important to find a good service provider whom you can trust your intimate areas with. We’ve compared five popular Brazilian waxing salons in Singapore so that you can decide for yourself which one you think is the best:
1. Strip
