The Best Beauty Parlours In Rio De Janeiro

A factor of an outdoor lifestyle and a beach-centric culture, beauty care plays an important role in the Carioca (a person born in Rio de Janeiro) routine. From hair-straightening treatments and manicures to eyebrow shaping and the famous Brazilian wax, beauty maintenance is the local norm. Here are some of the best salons in Rio de Janeiro.

1. Espaço Juliana Paes

Juliana Paes is a well-known Brazilian celebrity famed for her acting work on the Brazilian TV network, Globo. Espaço Juliana Paes is her first salon, and it has become a huge success in its own right for its incredibly professional treatments, and not just because of the celebrity connection. The wooden panels, clean finish, and flower bouquet touches complete the look of a high-end salon. There are all sorts of treatments available, from hair and makeup to facials, massages and waxes.
