Really disappointing. On holiday I searching for a place to get a bikini wax before heading to the…read morebeach. I called and asked if they spoke English, they said "of course". I then proceeded to book a wax, but when asked if I wanted bikini or Brazilian, I said I would need to talk to my therapist. I rushed to get there on time despite it being a bit hard to find (it's inside a hotel) and was greeted by a friendly front desk. They took me downstairs and told me to have a seat. I sat in a nail care room watching an older woman finishing up her manicure, lots of chit chat in Portuguese, for the next 10 minutes. Then after 5 more minutes, the lady who was doing the nails walked over to greet me and take me into the room. She didn't speak any English, which was going to make this challenging, but I was still game! We went inside, I explained as much as I could with simple words and hang gestures. She then started the waxing. It was excruciating (more than usual) and not very quick at all. At one point the wax wouldn't come off completely so she just rubbed it in with lots of pressure and friction, creating a kind of blood-blister-bruise. When I gestured toward it she said, "it go away tomorrow." Whenever I would say it hurt, she would say "let it go"... halfway through the wax I had really lost trust and was become more nervous. She said sorry a few times but a few times she literally just laughed at my pain and said, "let it go". It was bad. If you're a native Portuguese speaker perhaps you could have demanded a better experience for yourself, but in the case of a foreigner-vacationer-English speaker, please avoid this place. It's been 5 days now and the blister has turned into a dark discolored scabby area...

I am no stranger to barber shop shaves and my home routine is using a double edged razor, proper cream, and a brush. What I got at Barbearia Oliveira was a terrible shave by someone who does not be in the job. He scraped back and forth multiple times forcefully across each area which has left my skin raw, inflamed, and very likely to have ingrown hairs. Seriously, WTF.
