A French bikini wax removes hair from the front and sides of the bikini line, but leaves a small strip or triangle of hair on the pubic mound. It does not typically involve hair removal from the labia or the area between the buttocks, making it a less extensive option compared to a Brazilian wax while still offering a clean and manicured appearance.
