Great salon! I had one technician doing my hair while other two did my mani-pedi. This place came…read morehighly recommended by a friend and I wasn't disappointed.

I was looking for a place to get a blowout before a wedding. Not speaking any Portuguese, I was…read morevery shy and intimidated. Beauty vocabulary is specialized and often neglected in translation tools -with hilarious results. The staff at Bellissima were so kind (and beautiful, as you might expect!) My hair stylist took the tine to ask me questions via iPad and Google Translate! The nail aesthetician was so friendy! I visited the salon twice while I was in Rio and would have gone more if I had the time. They sell high-end products like Kerastase (great if you want to skip on the usually damaging stuff in hotels.)

The décor is interesting and welcoming. there are two stories - bottom floor is for hair care, while the second floor seems to focus on pedicures & manicures. While I was there they gave a gift for each client, which I thought was cool. We got a brush (a promo of the owners own products) and they also did a raffle for R$100 off purchase of products of the owners line. I went on a Saturday early morning and things were getting busy as I left. They also have coffee and water available for customers, and there were two dessert cakes on display - but not sure if they sell them by the slice (it was too early for me to delve into sweet treats :-D)
