Manicure & Pedicure in Rio

To get manicure or pedicure in Rio de Janeiro is not a problem. There are places literally everywhere. They are normally located in hair dressers or in separate more specialized clinics.

For Everyone
I remember one time back when I just had arrived here the first time. There was this really big muscly macho guy that to my amazement was using clear nailpolish. Asking around I realized it´s quite common that men use that. I never did myself but I did try manicure and pedicure and it feels great. It´s really cheap and those hideous feet that had been tucked into heavy Swedish winter shoes for some years became a lot more presentable; I can recommend it. And for you girls that have been applying and removing yourself for years; it's pretty nice to let someone else do it for you. Prices are really reasonable.

Where?
This is the deal: You can pretty much go anywhere. There are more expensive places but if you don´t have medical problem there is no reason. The more expensive ones are more concerned about higiene but they do a really good job almost everywhere. In Zona Sul the prices are about 15-20R$ for manicure and 30-40R$ for manicure and pedicure (in smaller towns around Brazil prices are about half of that). Most beauty parlours are closed both Sundays and Mondays.
