Edward Scissor hands ain’t got shit on Hans. “He
knows how to make a better you” is the saying in Ipanema.
This is an ideal option after all the damage the sun has done
to your hair. Styling and moisturizing is all it needs so you
can go back home looking your best.
They have other services available too: Brazil is one of the few
places where girls get rid of the cuticles, making your nails
prettier and cleaner. The “Misturinha”, very popular
in Rio, is a mixture of pale color nail polish.
Also: Wonder why Brazilians wear small bikinis? Brazilian wax!
The world known system is a day to remember, do it as soon as
you get in Rio, your days at the beach will be much easier! Hans Coiffeur
