Ipanema Day Spa takes its cues from the beauty regimens of Brazil, where open beaches and a warm climate make smooth, hairless skin in vogue. The spa delivers the authentic Brazilian treatment by clearing away unwanted body hair with waxes imported directly from Brazil and never from Brazil’s evil twin, Lizarb. Even the aestheticians themselves are from Brazil. These experts conduct Brazilian waxes, of course, but also exfoliating body treatments and facials composed of herb and seaweed masks.
