You discuss with your best friends about the most intimate details of your life: relationships, men, sex, grooming. However, it takes the anonymity of a seasoned specialist to make you feel truly safe enough to ask the most personal and seemingly embarrassing questions.
One common question that most women are afraid to ask is “hair or no hair”? Should I take everything off? Should I leave some hair? How much hair is too much hair? The answer is always what makes you feel the
most comfortable and what makes you feel great. For most women, the most popular bikini shape is what they call a Brazilian. This shape leaves what is now infamously called the landing strip…a narrow, rectangular section of hair located right above the labia. The landing strip can be as thin or as thick as you would like. The average size is about the width of two index fingers. If a landing strip is too risqué for you, there are other options to try! Many women prefer a triangle or even a square depending on their body type.
Then you have your creative types. I’m talking lightening bolts, hearts, even initials. Then you have the women who want to 86 their hair altogether going completely bare.
With all the choices out there, how does one decide? My advice is simple: try the newest and the latest but keep in mind what looks best on you. Unlike your Hanky Panky’s, bikini shapes are not one-size-fits-all. At completely bare spa, our specialists will work with a client to achieve the most flattering shape.
If you cannot get to a completely bare spa, here are some tips: If you’re curvy, a triangle with soft edges will give the appearance of a slender silhouette. If you have narrow hips, an inverted triangle will give the illusion of feminine curves. Last, but definitely not least, have your specialist evenly trim your shape to the desired length.
And remember ladies, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. How many times do you change your hairstyle before you find the right one? Exactly.

I have to say I disagree with this and am even a bit offended. I am a shaver and a waxer but there was a point in my life where I let it all grow. I have also been in relationships with women who did not shave. So what? People should feel beautiful the way they want to feel beautiful. And if it is via waxing, then awesome, this Salon is here for you. But if not, they should not be made to feel less than or unhygenic in any way.

I have to agree — this is completely offensive and downright bitchy. I’m a fan of Completely Bare, but don’t belittle and bully your customers into feeling monstrous for being human.

Lesson learned, don’t post in haste… I apologize for my anti-hair tirade as the subway can make any woman feisty. This was by no means meant to be a judgment upon those who prefer to go a little au natural. However, when I am nose-to-pit with another girl on the subway who is less than groomed, my inner bare girl kicks in. Although I know everyone has their own style and I am a true believer in embracing your individuality.Thank you for your comments Cindy

I agree with you, Cindy. Although I do think women should feel comfortable in their own skin- personally it’s much nicer when things are super smooth and bare as possible. I don’t think this post was pigeon-holing the unshaven as Unhygienic, nor did it make me feel like a monster for my going on 2 weeks of what I’ve been trying to convince myself was just a light stubble on my legs bc I’ve been too lazy to shave. Will my boyfriend dump me bc of this? Of course not. Should I lock myself inside for daring to not be bare? Don’t be ridiculous. But I for one think there is nothing sexier then when I’m lying next to my dude and I know my legs are silky smooth. Taking care of myself makes me feel empowered- and for me that includes a clean shave.
I think it’s a matter of opinion, and I don’t think feelings should be hurt over a hair removal spa promoting just that- hair removal. Whether you shave or don’t- you shouldn’t take yourselves so seriously…after all, it’s just hair!
