French or Brazilian?

Hair chat goes there

As I was wakeboarding in California last week, the topic of embarrassing kid comments came up between me and the other woman on the boat, also a mom.
I shared my personal favorite, “Mom, when I grow up I wanna have a huge butt like yours.”
While my friend shared hers, a comment made by her child one boating day as she bent over, “OHMYGOD WHAT’S THAT BLACK STUFF COMING OUT OF YOUR BIKINI?”
The topic turned suddenly to waxing, and I suggested the full-on rip with completely bare bits afterwards seemed a little weird to me ― oddly kidlike in appearance.
And my friend mentioned something that had also been mentioned by Kindra, esthetician extraordinaire who works at the Turning Point on Sixth Avenue.
What was it?
The French Bikini wax. Higher and tighter than the standard bikini wax, the French is nearly as risqué as the Brazilian.
But with a certain classic, timeless élan to it.
By all accounts, it’s just mo’ betta.
Ah, oui. — Jessica Corey-Butler
