Do you know when you travel and there is always a moment when you need a hairdresser because you feel messed up but you don’t know anybody in town? Well, you can have one in Florence where you can feel just like at home.
The best, most confident hairdresser's in Florence is Hairforce on via Ghibellina, really close to piazza Santa Croce. Joe, Francesco and Andrea are the friendly owners of the shop and with their team will make you feel comfortable as soon as you go inside. They are funny, they are updated about every nice event in town -- and they can suggest it to you. You don't need to read a magazine while you're waiting for your turn: they naturally entertain you.
Did I mention the wonderful relaxing chair in which they wash your hair? I’m in love with that chair! The other important fact is that they are open on Monday (barber shops are usually closed on Mondays in Italy). Can I tell you my favorite? It's Francesco!
