Famous for denuding Pamela Anderson's pubic region, this salon also waxes the coochies of mere mortals.

A sort of Vidal Sassoon for the nether regions, Pink Cheeks has blazed a trail for creative coifs below the belt and is largely responsible for the culture of groin glamour today. Thanks in part is due to the influential porn-star and celebrity clientele, and in part to the friendly, matter-of-fact staff. Located in a mini-mall and accented by new-age touches like calligraphied poems on the walls and waterfall sounds on the sound system, the salon is like a British parody of LA come to life (complete with "Parking in Rear" sign posted outside). Among the specialties: The "full bikini" leaves you as hairless down there as the day you were born, but the "thumbprint," "Playboy" and "pseudo" leave small patches of fur that can then be tinted. Not content to rest on its hairless laurels, the salon now performs newfangled services such as bikini facials, butt facials and anal bleaching. (Yes, we just said anal bleaching. If E! can film it, we can say it.) But Pink Cheeks doesn't have its mind solely in your gutter: Aestheticians perform regular facials and wax eyebrows, hairlines, chests and legs.
