Got my first Brazilian bikini wax

So, I got my first Brazilian bikini wax today, I decided to get this rather than my usual extended bikini wax.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought, but I wasn’t expecting the strip of hair that’s been left To be so small. Is this normal? Should I jus ask her next time to leave a bit more hair? There really is hardly any hair left at all.

If you want it all gone, you need to ask for a Hollywood, not a Brazilian.

Sorry, misread - yes, if you want a bigger strip, then tell them.

Good to know. What other kinds of waxes are there?

I don’t want it all gone, but there’s hardly any hair left, I thought a bit more would have been left. As it’s my first time getting one, I didn’t know what to expect. I will just ask her to leave a bit more next time.

I usually get an extended bikini wax and you can get a normal bikini wax which is just a tidy up x

I get a Brazilian and ask for a small triangle of hair left as I prefer it to the strip.
Just tell her, everyone likes something different.

Bikini- anything sticking out when wearing a bikini
Extended bikini- more hair taken off
Brazilian- everything but a small strip left
Hollywood- everything off, completely bare.

Just explain how wider strip you want left. I go for a Hollywood because it’s much less maintenance. No topiary required.
