Florence provides inspiration for everyone. Unfortunately, in my case, it inspired the thought: "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. read more

After watching so many TikTok videos of Simone I finally got a chance to have my haircut done by him. I was in Florence for my honeymoon and decided to email him on my second to last day to see if he had an opening for Monday and he did! I love the concept of being the only one in the salon and having the experience all about you. I showed him a picture of what I was looking for and he agreed that the length would be a good fit for my face shape/ body proportion. Simone is so skilled at his craft. I was in awe the entire time he was cutting my hair and styling it. If you are in Florence, I'd definitely recommend scheduling an appt! read more

Absolutely stunning haircolo and haircut experience and results. High end hair art for quite affordable costs. Amazing. Simone's work turns heads as I'm walking in Florence. Best results ever. If you are in Florence, do not miss his studio. read more

Simone was WONDERFUL!!!! It was truly the best blowout I've ever had. I enjoyed talking with him during the appointment and my hair looked perfect for my one year anniversary photoshoot with my husband. Being the tourist that I was, I underestimated how difficult it would be to get a taxi. In our specific circumstance, it was impossible. Simone, in a moment of complete panic that we were about to miss our photo shoot, was a complete life savor and offered to drive us to the shoot! If it wasn't for Simone being an Angel on earth, we would have missed our honeymoon shoot. Can you imagine having your hair and makeup completely done up by professionals and then missing your photo shoot?! I can't say thank you enough for not only Simone being a skilled and fabulous hair artist but for being a good, empathetic, and genuine human. I cannot recommend Simone more. You are in great hands with him and your hair will look fire stepping out of his salon. 11/10 recommend. THANK YOU, SIMONE!!!! read more

First time in Florence, so I wrote to beauty.ZiZiai and got a prompt response from owner Simone. He was not to disappoint for the hair cut experience. He added a scalp massage that was incredible and so relaxing after a transatlantic trip starting in MKE with 2 transfers via DTW and AMS. Turns out Simone trained in NYC in the early 2000's for several years. Talking with him was so fun, and is talent matched his energetic & friendly personality. I definitely will be back! read more

ZiZiAi - just wow - Hair Salons Near Me - Florence, FI

Simone Is a delightful, personable stylist, gifted in making you feel special. He truly pampered us, listening to what we wanted from our visit to his salon, giving us the scalp message of our lives and creating our own style that we loved. We made a friend. Wish he were in the US! read more

OTTIMO! Great feeling from beginning to end. Starting from the owner whom was a delightful person to chat with and extremely hospitable to the Manicurist who did a fantastic job (finally someone who cleaned my nails impeccably). Also, the prices are fair especially for the location and service I received. I am certain I will return, hopefully also to get my hair done! OTTIMO! (update! Got my hair done) After a cut, colour, wash, incredible head message and style I literally felt famous walking the streets of Florence. After getting my nails done several times by the amazing Valeriya I was determined to get my hair done by Simone and it was worth every second and penny. He uses the best products, listens to what you want and is just so passionate and talented. I felt like I have always wanted after a hair appointment, like a million bucks. read more

ZiZiAi - Feeling like a Victoria Secret model after my appointment with Simone. This picture doesn't even no it justice! - Hair Salons Near Me - Florence, FI

Like so many who have written reviews, I was in Florence and in the mood, perhaps better said in "need", of a change. After days of off and on research, I found, ZiZiAi. What luck. Not only was I talked out of a bad idea, but was reassured my good idea, was good. So, a dramatic and healthy cut later, I walked out feeling great, not spending what I might have, and completely happy. I will be back. IF you find yourself in Florence, with time and in need of a great and insightful hair genius, I highly recommend making an appointment. Then sit back, relax and trust in your judgement. You will be happy you did. read more

I am completely satisfied with my treatment at ZiZiAi! I can have serious reservations about getting my hair colored after having a couple of bad experiences, therefore I was hesitant to visit a stylist in a foreign country. I was traveling through Florence and wanted a cut and balayage. I walked in to ZiZiAi to schedule an appointment for the next morning. Simone came in early and transformed my hair! He took it from dull and brassy to a natural, beautiful color. He also gave me a cut that suits my thin hair based on his knowledge. He has plenty of experience (he worked at a salon on the Upper East Side for years) and was so kind. He even brought me a cappuccino from his favorite local café! Also, the blow dry still looked good four days later. I plan to schedule another appointment when I'm back in Florence! I highly recommend ZiZiAi. read more

Simone and Valeriya were amazing to work with - they asked for photos of the look i wanted, and they gave me exactly what i asked for. The ambiance of the studio is very professional and upscale; you feel relaxed,because you are the only client inside! The location of the studio is perfect too, just a few minutes walk from the Duomo. Simone and Valeriya are absolute professionals , and cannot thank them enough for accomodating my request- imagine, they opened the studio at 8am to do my hair and make up!( their hours start from 10 am) I absolutely recommend ZiziAi to anyone looking to glam up during their stay in Florence. Thank you Simone and Valeriya! read more

About hair stylist we're all picky: it's not only about how they cut and shape our hair, sometimes it's also how you get along with him/her, their experiences and how they match your ideas about style. Now I write about my new fav one, Ziziai: a single chair salon, where you get one-on-one attention by Simone (and Vale, for manicure); He is a very skilled and experienced hairdresser with that international point of view which is difficult to find among Italian professionals (even in a city like Florence). Everytime I follow his suggestions about my haircut the result is just brilliant. Ziziai is literally 2 minutes walking from Duomo but you'll never find it without someone telling you: it's in a little narrow street called via dei Biffi, and has no sign outside. Once I asked him "why don't you put a sign outside here", he just replied that he loves that way, with customers getting there by word of mouth ...that's also why I'm passing the word ; ) read more

Had a fabulous experience here. Simone and Valeriya made sure I looked and felt my best when I came to visit. I had a wedding to attend to and can in for a haircut, updo, makeup and pedicure. I was able to send an email via Yelp and promptly received a response. The scalp massage is to die for. Simone gave me a great haircut and blowout. Valeriya finished the job by completing the updo, giving me a pedicure and applying makeup. She's excellent! They're a great team and I highly recommend seeing them for your beauty needs while visiting in Florence. I'll be back to visit when I return read more

If you're looking to get your hair done in florence this is the place to go. Simone is amazing at capturing the look you want, and has 30 years of experience doing hair. He created the perfect color mixture for my hair, that I've never even been able to get in the US. I couldn't have been happier with my experience here- plus he gives the best head massages ever!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get their hair done, he's the BEST!!!!! read more

I am an America visiting Florence. I wanted to schedule a blow out/style while I was in town. Simone scheduled my appointment via email which was very convenient. He was ready when I arrived and gave me an amazing shampoo and blow dry. One of the best blowouts I have her had! It still looks great almost a week later. I highly recommend him. read more

I came in after studying in Florence for a month with dip nails that needed to come off. The nail tech did an amazing job and both of the staff members I encountered were warm and welcoming. read more

Coming to a new county and city, I had no idea how I would find a place where I felt safe like home and then I found Ziziai! Simo is a talented hair stylist and colorist that always exudes humor and good energy. Despite his good sense of humor, he takes his work seriously and I trust his expertise. The scalp massage alone is worth the visit - heaven.* I call it, "hair-apy." In addition, a very wonderful discovery was meeting his partner in crime, Vale. She is a gem with a true gift in the world of make-up, nails and styling. I had no idea nail color and design could be so beautiful and fun, but I am now officially hooked! The pair are talented artists and when I leave the salon I feel like a renewed person. read more

I was in Florence for the month of May 2016 and went to Zi Zi Ai several times during my stay. I am very particular and Zi Zi Ai exceeded my high expectations. Simone and Valeria are very talented and so nice. The shop is lovely and in a wonderful location, steps from Il Duomo. They not only did a superlative job on my hair and nails, they encouraged me to speak "solamente Italiano" while there. Zi Zi Ai is a five star find! Bravo Simone and Valeria! read more

What an incredible find while on vacation in Florence years ago. BEST HAIRCUT AND BLOWDRY EVER!!! After living in NYC for 25 years and trying most of the best salons and stylists in the city, I am pretty picky when it comes to hair and beauty services but ZiZiAi always surpasses my expectations. I travel frequently to Florence and no matter what I am doing, I set up my appointment for day one to be beautified at ZiZiAi. Simone the INCREDIBLE HAIR STYLIST has cut, colored and styled my hair more times than I can remember but I am always amazed at how beautiful it looks. I can keep the blow dry for three or four days so my hair always looks it best when I am here. He is better than anyone I have ever had in NYC for 5x the price. People always comment on my hair after he has done his magic. Even when I get back to NY, everyone comments on the cut and shape of my hair. I have referred many friends who travel to Florence and they all thank me for the best hair cut or blow dry they have ever had. Additionally Vale will give you the most relaxing beauty treatments with great attention to detail and precision. I have enjoyed both shellac and regular manicures and pedicures and have watched her do her magic on makeup application. She has applied makeup to two of my close friends that got married in Florence and they were so happy with the result. If you are doing a destination wedding, together they create the most BEAUTIFUL BRIDES. This is definitely the BEST place in Florence for a makeover or just a fabulous hair cut, blow dry and pampering treatment. It is located one block from the Duomo but on a little hidden street so make sure you don't miss it. You will enjoy your time in Florence more when you have a great hair day every day! read more
