Nude Barbershops Are Gaining Popularity In Brazil
Now when you hear nude and barbershops, we’re not talking about a nude cut. Nope, we’re talking about the barber and the client are all nude. Everyone in the barbershop is completely naked.
Nude Barbershops Are Becoming Popular
According to Vice, they said it’s not just a fad anymore. It’s a place for men to go to have quiet time, while getting a trim or cut. They said it’s an “alternate to the macho atmosphere” you’re used to at a normal male barbershop.
As of now, there are about four nudist salons all across Brazil. Each one offers something different. But they all share one similar thing… you need to be naked to be in there.
The Original Nude Barbershop Spot
Barbearia Naturista was the first to open in Brazil. The owner and founder of the Barbershop, Rodney Araujo, told Vice that other locations are opening with names similar to theirs, in hopes to steal some of their business. Araujo opened his place back in 2021. Rodney’s location has a total of eight employees who offer different services to their clients.
Araujo said the point to nude barbershops is to help spread the word and practice of nudism. It’s not just for beaches and campsites. He’s said they’ve had so much success with it, that they’ve even extended their hours of operation to 2 a.m. every night.
Other locations offer the same services to their clients, but do the whole nude thing for different reasons. One location says the nude aspect is liberating and is more relaxing for their clients. Same things happen there as they would in a normal barbershop. During the cuts or services, they talk about things going on in each others lives and more. People feel uncomfortable at first, but learn really quick how much more relaxing it is for them to be nude.
