Cool new space in Gavea mall, took over the kids toy store in the back right corner of the first…read morefloor. I like this place better than the Ipanema branch because first of all, it's in a much bigger mall, so there's more to do there. Secondly, the space of the store is larger and also much more comfortable. There's more barber chairs, the decor is nice, they have a bar where people can sit while they serve you a beer or water or cafe. They also have a couch and couple of armchairs which are convenient to wait in. They also have a much bigger beer selection and even carry their own chopp which was a tasty IPA today.
I was able to get on the wifi, which was faster than the Gavea shopping network, while I waited for yelper Reese to get his haircut. He was quite satisfied with his haircut, saying it was the best he's got in Rio, from barber Leo with the big beard.
