Head Space

Hands down the best experience I’ve had. Left with great hair. Will not hesitate to return. Nothing more to say because it was spectacular.

I am OBSESSED with the haircut Giuseppe gave me. I came to Rome for a week and decided to get my hair cut because I had hoped that I could find someone better than my stylist in San Diego, and going to headspace was the best decision I’ve made. I used to fly to New York twice every year to get an overpriced haircut that I thought was good, but I’ve never liked a haircut more than the one I got here. Even though the stylist doesn’t speak English, i explained what I wanted and he did beyond my expectations. Love it. Definitely coming back anytime I’m in Roma.

We have been in Europe for over a month, and needed a haircut. I don’t let anyone touch my hair but my stylist at home. We found this hidden place and thank God we did. He gets a 5 stars because he clearly new what he was doing. World class stylist. I believe he was the owner.

Giuseppe is a bearded angel. I got a really horrible haircut in Barcelona, and came to him about 10 days later to see if there was anything he could do to make it less awful. It was cut very short, so I didn’t have high hopes beyond cleaning it up and evening it out, but Giuseppe absolutely blew me away. First of all, he seems to have a real affection for his work, and he was clearly distressed at how awful the previous cut was. He took some time to explain to me what had gone wrong, showing me which parts for uneven or left too long or too short, and then explained to me what he was planning to do to make it look pretty again.
Now, Giuseppe only speaks Italian, so his explanation was a little complicated for me, but I was really touched that he took the time to explain even though it was clear my Italian was not really up to par. He treated me as if I had been through a traumatic experience, which was unnecessary, but very sweet, and I imagine many women who feel much more attached to their hair or to their appearance would have been extremely grateful that he took the problems so seriously and was reassuring about what could be done.
A few things to know: no one in the salon really speaks English, which is of course not their prerogative, since they live in Italy! That said, everyone was so helpful and so kind, and very patient with my mediocre Italian, and completely willing to translate into English when they knew the word. if your Italian is not great, I really recommend translating a few critical words and writing them down for yourself beforehand, like «a little shorter» or «I want layers» or «I like to look a little sassy», or whatever. Trust Giuseppe; with just a few words I was able to communicate what I was hoping for, and he rose to the occasion. My hair is of course still shorter than I would like, because genius though he is, he cannot put hair back on my head that the Barcelona butcher chopped off, but I sincerely love this cut and I felt so much more like myself than I had for that week and a half.
Giuseppe will touch you a lot! He patted my shoulder or ran his fingers through my hair while he was cutting it quite a bit. Not in any kind of creepy way, but sort of the way that people touch animals to soothe them. It is very comforting and quite nice, but if you are not accustomed to much physical contact it might be a little surprising at first. Things to know! He was unconditionally kind, and did not speak to me very much after he explained the haircut, but he chatted away to a friend of his who was there for a cut, so I think he is normally quite chatty, but since I did not speak much Italian and he did not speak any English…
Very affordable, at 50 Euro, and his staff were lovely as well. I saw at least find men and women leave the shop looking fantastic, so I am pretty confident he is good with all types of hair. Highly recommended.

If you find yourself in Rome, in need of some hair care, do not hesitate to make an appointment with Giuseppe. He and his staff are perfectionists, and so kind! Don’t worry if you do not speak Italian — beautiful hair is spoken here! A Californian in Rome.

I’ve been getting my hair cut here for over 13 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve actually planned haircuts on whirlwind stops from Asia to Rome, just to see Giuseppe. Watching him work is like watching an artist. He takes it VERY seriously and does a particularly good job with short hair.

Simply the best hairdresser in the city. It is not just about skills of Giuseppe, it is the service, atmosphere, design, music. Once your head is in the hands of those guys you will feel regenerated.
