  • German Hair Salon Offers Rare Treatment for Customers - Snake Therapy!

    Are you afraid of slithering snakes but also in urgent need of a haircut? Well one hair salon in Germany may be the perfect place for you to kill two birds with one stone. Dresden hair salon 'Haar-Mode-Team' has a unique answer for customer anxiety and tension before their hair cut - a pulsating neck massage from snake called Python Monty which is not recommended for people with ophiophobia, or fear of snakes. The 13 year old reptile sits snugly around customer's throats as hairdresser Falk Dohler gets to work with his scissors. Of course, anyone who has seen the cartoon version of the Jungle Book knows that pythons like Kaa constrict their muscular bodies around their prey to suffocate it. Wrapped around the neck, Python Monty is in prime position to cut off airflow, but has been trained to suppress his killer instincts and give relaxing massages instead. Even snakes can get tuckered out, and we certainly wouldn't want Python Monty to be the least bit stressed before letting him coil up around our necks. If you want a special snake massage before your haircut at Haar Mode Team, you need to make an appointment with Python Monty weeks in advance. A 30 minute session with Monty costs €35, or about $38.

  • Didi, the only barber who can cut Pele's hair

    Santos (Brazil), Oct 20 (EFE).- (Camera: Fernando Bizerra and Carlos Meneses) If it wasn't for the barber chair and the mirror, it would look like a museum. The walls of this small venue located a few metres from the Vila Belmiro stadium are full of photographs, paintings and press clippings of the King. Its owner is known as 'Didi', Pelé's exclusive hairdresser since 1956. At 82, Joao Araújo is a celebrity in the city of Santos. His scissors are the only ones that cut the hair of Edson Arantes do Nascimento, his most loyal client.FOOTAGE OF THE BARBERSHOP.SOUNDBITES OF DIDI, BARBER.Translation:"Shall we change the cut a bit? We cut here on the side with scissors, very gently. A classic hairstyle that will also look good. Then he said, "so who knows, your call!" Then I worked very carefully because it is full hair, but short. It was classic and beautiful hair. "It's great!" said Pele, and I told him, "if you liked it, you can come back again, and if you didn't like it, look for another one, our friendship will remain the same". Well, said Pele. So the man never left here, because I worked his toupee for him. Ah, Pele at that time, his name didn't mean much, but quickly did. Since the black man was very smart, there was no talk on the court. Whoever touched him to dispute the ball was left behind. He stayed and went with the ball. The man was crazy! I never saw a man play ball like Pelé. Pelé was always ready, he talked a lot. He said that I am his brother to him. He remained the same person, money never went to his head. Each game was a story and they were good. Just good stories. To say that Pele played badly ... there was no game that Pele played badly, he always played well. Now I don't know what's going on, the players are full of ups and downs. They play a good game, a bad game ... like you don't know, right? (Maradona) is not even close (to Pelé). I'm not going to take away the merits, he was a good player, Maradona, but he didn't even come close to Pelé, I don't think anyone in the world has, not even him. It has not happened yet. He came to the world to show soccer and keep soccer with him."
