The Subject of Grooming"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Intimately<\/p>\n

On a topic we are certainly not brave enough to tackle ourselves, Beauty Blogger<\/a> and Guru Glamity Jane<\/a> lays down the lingo on the subject of grooming and the different options to avail of…<\/em><\/p>\n

On a recent bus ride, I was reading some emails and I could hear two gals behind me discussing their impending holidays and the torture they had to endure prior to take off due to what I will call \u201cpubic topiary\u201d. I stifled a giggle, but thought It would be worth writing about as they subsequently started googling styles for the southern region.<\/p>\n

With the subject of intimate waxing and grooming becoming less taboo more and more men and women are opting for a professional salon like finish. Being presented first time with a price list from a salon you might be forgiven for thinking that you were perusing a holiday brochure. With Hollywoods, Brazilians and Californians all becoming mainstream, the names and their meanings when it comes to downstairs business can be a little perplexing for anyone! So, let\u2019s get down to some jargon busting:<\/p>\n

For ladies:<\/h2>\n

Standard Bikini Line:<\/strong> As far as a normal panty line to the front.
\nHigh Leg Bikini:<\/strong> As far as a high panty line to the front and underneath.
\nCalifornian: <\/strong>Thong shaped to the front and \u201cclose cropped\u201d underneath.
\nBrazilian: <\/strong>\u201cAll off\u201d with the exception of a \u201clanding strip\u201d to the front.
\nHollywood:<\/strong> \u201cAll off\u201d
\nAll good salons will require you to have a patch test at least 24 hours before if it is your first visit for waxing. Next up is tinting of the bikini area, not all salons offer this, but it is becoming increasingly popular as well as vajazzling, which is the addition of jewels to the panty line area at the front. You can have your bust area waxed also as well as your lip chin and sides of face. Facially on a personal level, I prefer to have my brows and lip threaded although slightly more painful, the results are better on my blonde hair.<\/p>\n

For Gents:<\/h2>\n

Brazilian: <\/strong>This treatment removes hair from the groin, scrotum and bum. All the pubic hair can be removed or a landing strip can be left if desired.
\nChest Wax: <\/strong> Chest hair removed. Affectionately referred to as the \u201cHe-vage\u201d area
\nFacial Hair: <\/strong> You can have your neck, ears brows or nasal areas waxed.
\nNot all salons offer these services to men so it might be best to call the salon and see if they do \u201cmanscaping\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On a topic we are certainly not brave enough to tackle ourselves, Beauty Blogger and Guru Glamity Jane lays down the lingo on the subject of grooming and the different options to avail of… On a recent bus ride, I was reading some emails and I could hear two gals behind me discussing their impending holidays and the torture they had to endure prior to take off due to what I will call \u201cpubic topiary\u201d.
