ContestaRockHair

LOVE Mimmo, love my haircut, love the 25 euro price!

This place was great and Mimmo as well. I would go back.

From Marco @ Osteria Il Mostrino came a recommendation here… to see Mimmo at Contesta Rock Hair. 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 2^nd 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…
