First, I have a problem giving 5 stars only because 1) I would never tell anyone to 'Run, Don't Walk' to get a Brazilian and 2) This was my 1st in 10 yrs so I don't have much to compare to.
I like the little shopping village on Persa. Although, I did have a little trouble figuring out which building Renude was in and finally realizing I had to go inside and upstairs ... but I am a natural blonde.
Upon walking in Carolina greeted me by name and complimented me on my shoes. I loved the decor/ambiance - not luxury spa, not seedy nail salon - it was personable and comforting without being cheesy or trying too hard.
The dreaded room was cold which I was happy about because all I remember from my previous experience was being so hot 1/2 way through I had to ask for ice cubes. There was an ipod set up in the corner and the playlist reflected the decor - it had personality. No cheesy ambient nature noise.
Carolina was laid back and comfortably conversational. She told me, her first time, she thought it was more painful than child birth. Which actually helped me through it ... like I wore a badge of courage. So I [wo]man'd up and got through it - even laughing with her at times. At the end she gave me great advice on care which I don't think I received previously.
And finally, the reservation process is so super easy. It's online. And I got in the same day which was good - otherwise I would have talked myself out of it. I tried this whole Brazilian experience because of Groupon but will definitely see Carolina again ... once I get my courage up again.
Pros: homie, personable, ipod mix
Cons: obviously it's gonna hurt
