Florence provides inspiration for everyone. Unfortunately, in my case, it inspired the thought:…read more"Sure, I can trim my own bangs while on vacation!" ... this was NOT one of my better ideas, and I can't put the blame on the Renaissance. Thankfully, Simone was there. His English is terrific, but more importantly, he speaks fluent hair, and he instantly knew mine was screaming for help He immediately understood what I had been trying to do, what went wrong, and how to fix it without turning it into an entirely different haircut. He graciously fit me into his schedule, rescued my bangs, and even gave me useful advice for the next time I'm overcome by misplaced confidence while holding a pair of scissors. I would happily return to Simone for any hair service when I am next in Florence, and I would recommend him without hesitation. So please, if you're in town, give him a call. And if you, like me, are the dingbat who cut her own bangs on vacation, don't panic! If Simone has an opening, your dignity--and your fringe--may yet be saved.

OMG - I'm 72 and have been traveling in Italy for more than a month and needed my roots done - I…read morefound Simone on Yelp and I was lucky to get a same day appointment - bar none the best color and blow dry of my life - and the scalp massage was divine

I was visiting Florence for my business and asked a local who I knew where I should get my hair…read moredone. I have stylists all over Italy, since I travel there for work several times a year. She recommended Simonetta, I believe the stylist was Lucia. A woman with long carmel colored hair (to ensure you have the correct stylist if you go). She was middle aged. Nevertheless, wow she blew out my hair and didn't burn it. Which is what most stylists do, this is because they take too much hair into the brush then put the blow dryer right on the hair, this burns your hair. She took thin strands kept the blow dryer about 10 to 12 inches away from my long hair and took her time. It took her about an hour, it was the best blow out I have ever had (no burnt hair) the product was top of the line. I only wish I let her cut it. I will return this year for a cut, because anyone who takes the time to blow out hair like that MUST be a great stylist. You could feel her talent in the way she used the tools. HIGHLY recommend this salon, very professional group of stylists near the 4 seasons Hotel! A blow out in any major city in the U.S. is 45 - 50 dollars. Not in Italy you can get a beautiful blow out for 25 to 35 Euros.
