An Italian Experience

I wanted to visit a beauty salon and asked a friend to help me.  She asked an Italian friend and made an appointment at the GiGi Effetto Moda in nearby Roveredo in Piano, a small village nearby and graciously went with me. 

We entered a beautiful salon on the main street. Everyone was friendly and most spoke flawless English.  After GiGi, the owner, looked at my hair and suggested a mix of two colors, Sabastian mixed and applied it.  The shampoo area had seats with a gentle massage option while Sebastian was shampooing my hair. He started out with a gentle head massage and ended with selecting a special deep conditioner from a wall of colorful tubes.

Next, Sebastian laid out several items to cut my hair - kinda like a surgeon's assistant. GiGi walked up, selected a couple, and cut and shaped my hair while speaking in rapid Italian with Liz, my friend.  I was pleased with the color, though a little darker than I have had in a while.  It was a professional hair cut done with care.  Next came Danielle who dried and styled my hair.  She was also personable and did a great job I hope I can replicate at home! 

This salon was equal to those in larger cities such as Atlanta, Rome, or Florence and was a reasonable cost.  It was a wonderful, professional experience from start to finish.  I made another appointment just before I leave for Scotland and will make another in December before returning home.  I have been to other Italian salons in the past, but this one was definitely “a cut above” in Italy.
