Waxing in Rio de Janeiro

Waxing in Rio de Janeiro is for many girls here a weekly pain; walking around on the beach in a bikini with hair sticking out is really a big no-no here.

How Do They Do It?
Ok, here comes a bunch of information from Silvia again. First let´s kill the myth; The so called Brazilian Wax is not to take off everything, traditionally you leave a triangle on top of it all; the size of the bikini you use decides how big. Which parts of the body the Carioca girls wax vary but almost obligatory are: Bikini line, armpits and legs. Many do as well: Eyebrows, nostrils and upper lip. A new fashion is shaping: You can get your most precious parts decorated in shapes like hearts and stars.

Where To Do It?
This is available in so many places and you don´t have to go to an expensive place to get a good wax. What you´ll be offered in the local hairdressers is for sure good enough. The price level in these places are reasonable, armpits probably around 15R$ and the bikini line 30R$. Waxing is called depilacão in Portuguese.
