They were all so kind and listened patiently as I described what I was hoping for - and they executed it beautifully. I highly, highly recommend the salon!

I was so glad I found this awesome salon, and the excellent haircut I got from Adrien!!!! The minute I saw the turntable and vinyl collection, I knew I was in the right place! Like my salon, it is tiny, but has a big personality, and a relaxed, welcoming, cozy vibe. I don't speak Italian, but it didn't matter, I just showed him how much I wanted cut and he worked his magic! Best souvenir you can bring home from Italy! GO HERE!!!!

From Marco @ Osteria Il Mostrino came a recommendation here... to see Mimmo at Contesta Rock Hair…read more I was kind of skraggly & da hair needed help, so in my best broken italian, I asked for Mimmo and relayed that Marco had sent me, he replied enthusiastically at my "walk-in" request. Julia (hot & nice!) whisked me away for a rinse, nothing like a beautiful woman washing your hair for you - gotta get Carla to get in the shower w/ me more and pamper my hair! Fortunately Mimmo spoke english and I was able to relay that I work in an office during the day, but like to have a little funky time w/ my hair @ night - "no problem" he says, and gets to work. Mimmo was a very Kool Kat - razor on the sides finishing by hand, then w/ the same scissors ( no blocking shears) went to work on the top. He had a technique for creating a choppy/uneven top for standing things up w/ product. He held the hair as normal between the fingers, but instead of cutting straight across, he "whipped" the scissors at the hair and cut at the same time, only chopping a sliver at a time, leaving some long, some short - this really helps to get the hair to that contrived messy look, which many times eludes me. Back to Julia for a 2nd rinse (no complaint here, see rinse comment above!), a quick dry and light putty product to get me as italian stylish as this American could get! Great men's haircut and service, when in Florence/Firenze and need of some style, hit up Contesta Rock Hair and ask for Mimmo... tell him the guy from California sent you, it might just make him smile...

It's been a…read moremonth and i still have this horrible feeling touching the right side of my head, where a huge chuck was taken out with thinning scissors held to my head. I have a bald spot. On my way out they asked me how long i was visiting florence; joke is on them, i live here. Thankfully, because this cut was so much shorter than what i asked for, I will be able to wait until i visit my old salon to get it fixed. I can't imagine having so much confidence, and yet so little skill. frankly, this cut felt violent, like a violation of my person; i've had imperfect cuts before but this is next-level traumatic.

Only so much hair that unfortunately doesn't grow fast, is fine, blah, blah, blah. Luca greeted me, showed me to his chair, listened to what I wanted, looked at a few photos of haircuts I had on my phone. I returned in the afternoon and did indeed receive a great cut. You can rest assured with Wave, rest assured with Luca. Next up, color.
