this was the most charming salon with the most friendly staff. I came in for a blowout with extensions. they exceeded my expectations and can't compliment enough! read more

I was there in 2019 and had a fantastic cut and red color with Tocco Magico Products. Reasonable at EU $90. Tip is not expected. They took excellent care of me. Friendly and helpful staff. The handsome gentleman who owns the shop gave me a terrific cut, and a head stylist did my rich red color with herbal low ammonia dye. Highly recommended read more

We called and Joe was kind enough to accommodate us. We were skeptical because we don't speak the language, but he was friendly and made us feel at home. We were scared also that our hair would be butchered, but the haircut and color went well. Overall, Joe and his crew provided an excellent customer service. Too bad, we live in CA or else, we will be forever his client. Molte Grazie Joe! read more

Wow. I am so impressed by how beautiful my hair turned out. I absolutely love the finished results. The team is so friendly and attentive! 10/10 would recommend and I'm definitely coming back and bringing my family here! Grazie Joe and Hairforce team for the beautiful cut! Much love, Chloe D. read more

Studying abroad in Italy this summer and decided I wanted long layers (for the first time ever)! I was very nervous, but Joe and all other staff were extremely nice and kept up lighthearted banter the whole time. I had 3 different employees between my wash, cut, and blow dry and they all spoke good English. Definitely more of an upscale barber shop than a salon, but I was well taken care of and I love the haircut I got (with all services totaling ~60 euro!) Everyone was complimenting my hair by the time I was done, and the owner, Joe, took many photos/videos (see below). Highly recommend this spot. read more

I am very picky with my hair and I have tape in extensions and they did a wonderful shampoo and they styled my hair nicely. All of the employees were very friendly. Antonio styled me hair. They are reasonably priced and they even trimmed my sons beard for free. I enjoyed my visit. I did have to wait 20 minutes but other then that everything was good. read more

Located just a three minute walk from Santa Croce, this small, intimate hair salon offers excellent customer service alongside a team of talented hair stylists. With Italian music playing, I had a $28 Euro (approximately $31USD as of July 2023) blow out on my long, thick hair that was divine. The team speaks perfect English, so making an appointment was easy. In the wash area you are treated to a reclining massage chair with some of the world's best hair products. Then, the blow out itself was perfection, lasting several days. It was so exceptional that I returned back for a second and third during our trip to Firenze in July 2023. I am very particular about my hair and I recommend them highly to anyone seeking to experience luxury hair care at an affordable price. read more

Listen up, ladies and gents. If you're in need of a solid cut while away, look no further than Hairforce. Great service, awesome attention to detail, and all at a great price. Loved this place. Walk-ins welcomed! read more

Amazing hair salon! Everyone is so nice and helpful. I went in for a wash and blow out and was so happy with my result I already made another appointment for next week! If you are traveling like me and worry about language barrier- everyone speaks English here! Highly recommend!! read more

Fantastic blowout! Walked in Saturday morning with my sister and we're greeted kindly by the owner, Nunzia and Elena who fit us into their busy schedule! Much needed wash, dry and style with the kindest service yet in Italy! Thank you so much!! read more

I was thoroughly impressed with my experience at Hairforce. I went in for color and cut and left with "bouncin' & behavin'" hair! Elena did a great job with my color, which I am always very persnickety about. And, Joe snipped off all my dry ends, which made a world of difference! He's also fluent in English, so no issues with communicating my wants/needs. Pricing was very reasonable (when compared with what I paid in California) - color/cut/blow dry for 95 euros. I will definitely be back! read more

I went to Hair Force to get Keratin treatment and a hair cut. I can't give enough compliments to the team at this salon. Unfortunately I didn't catch the name of the woman who gave me the Keratin treatment. She did an excellent job. Incredibly happy with the results. Joe was so kind. He offered to help order lunch for me since the treatment was going to take a while. The team brought many English magazines for me to pass the time. Most importantly, within 15 minutes Joe gave me a haircut I loved. Thank you Joe! Thank you team! I will be back for sure. read more

I recently experienced the wonderful work of Hairforce during a yelp event 'aperipiega'. i decided that before heading to france for a wedding, my hair needed a new look. Making an appointment was easy, everyone was super nice and the location, though very small is really cute. Plus they have free (and working) WIFI. The consultation was perfect and we decided on a trim and a sort of light mesh, some highlights with a toner and then a cut, the whole process took a little over three hours and I absolutely LOVED the results, he really did in an amazing job and listened when I mentioned not cutting too much. The only reason it didn't get five stars was because for me personally, it was a little pricey. Think a cut & blowout (around 40 euros, a woman popped in and asked and that was their reply). My color and cut was a little over a 100 euros which is a little over my price range but I will say that I was quite happy with the results. If you want English-speaking staff and people who clearly love hair, and you're in the historical center - this is a great choice! Wifi password: giuseppe (account hair force) read more

Great hair Salon where u not only got a good blow dry, but amazing advice where to have dinner. Thank you Joe! Always will appreciate you and your wonderful personality and salon. Grazie and ciao! Gigi read more

Both my wife & myself have been here & will be back. The staff is great and very friendly from the moment you get in there to the moment you walk out. For those on travel from the US, they speak English just fine, and will make sure you get what you want. My wife got color done & will be getting more color plus cut later on. She was happy with all the work they did. My wash & cut was great & Joe was talkative & helpful along with doing a great job. One note, they get very busy so PLEASE make an appointment. Also, they take turns greeting customers & scheduling along with sharing duties for washing, cutting, colorings, etc so it make take more time. Just sit back & enjoy the experience. Cost was less that places back in our area that we go to and we felt very reasonable for the service we got. Will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful! I was in desperate need of post quarantine hair-care and the Hairforce team delivered beyond my expectations. The staff is so kind, so professional. Joe speaks fluent English, so no worries there. Nothing was lost in translation. Elena is a colorist goddess! She took me from grown out blond highlights to full blonde (naturally brunette) without frying my hair. Highly recommend Hairforce if you want to look fly read more

Excellent cut by Joe and excellent color by someone else in salon. I did not get his name. I highly recommend this salon read more

Hairforce - The cut and blowout - Hair Salons Near Me - Florence, FI

Very nice people and a good vibe in this salon, but the cut I received from Joe was mediocre.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with hairforce. I got a wash, cut and style and It was relaxing and stress free. I never felt rushed and they really took their time snipping away and perfecting my hair. If you want to be pampered and jam out to some good music with a coffee in your hand this is the spot for you! read more

I am in Florence, studying abroad and was comparing local hair salons but I picked Hairforce because the prices and the wonderful reviews. And....I am beyond happy that I did! The owner, replied fast on Yelp messaging after I requested an appointment. Francesco welcomed me into the salon and cut my hair and did a fabulous job! He had great humor! As the salon got busier, Mariano took over and gave me such beautiful beach waves! I could not be happier! Shampoo, cut, + curls for 45€ and my hair hasn't felt this soft in a while! If you are on the fence about coming here, they do not disappoint!!!! read more

I came here because I got bangs a few weeks ago but they weren't thick enough. However, unfortunately the stylist I got didn't speak much English. I said "more bangs" four times, and four times he thought I meant "more short." Even though I showed him a photo of what I wanted it to look like. It wasn't until the fourth time, when I saw him cutting an inch away from hairline, that I realized this wasn't a technique -- he thought I meant the complete opposite thing of what I asked for. So now, my bangs are so short and thinned out I look like I'm losing hair, and it's going to take months for it to grow out long enough to even remotely fix. I just went home and cried. I understand that getting your hair cut in a country where you don't speak the language is a risk, but I showed a picture and everything...this is probably a great salon but I'd just inform customers to really ensure your stylist speaks English if their Italian isn't very good. read more

We just walked in for fun one afternoon to get a haircut, and they were able to take us right away! The staff was super kind and understood exactly what we wanted and it was super well priced such a good hair cut would definitely go back:) read more

My husband and I were visiting Florence as part of a long trip to Italy. I needed a haircut and have a modified pixie. Bad if someone cuts it wrong. I read the reviews of Hairforce and Joe (which were excellent) so I took a chance. Joe is a master! Confident, skilled and listened to me about what I wanted. I got the perfect haircut. I want to add that Joe speaks perfect English. My husband was born in Italy and speaks excellent Italian and came with me to translate but it was unnecessary. That said my husband and Joe did enjoy their chat in Italian and I am working on mine so next time I can join them. Joe is a friendly and warm person who clearly takes pride in his work. After many years and much training his talent is apparent. I highly recommend Joe! read more

SO AMAZING!! Nuncia was amazing and my hair was beautiful. Loved it so much, had an amazing experience. Come here!!!

Joe is the most amazing hairdresser!! I am American visiting Florence and decided I wanted to get a haircut in Italy. I looked yo best hairdresser and found joe! He squeezed me in and not only is he an amazing hairdresser, he's funny and kind!! I have gotten so many compliments since I got home, I'm going to tell everyone about him!! The price was so much less (more than half less than what I pay in Los Angeles! I had so much fun with him. I wish I could afford to fly him in!! He does men and women brilliantly. Thanks so much Joe!! Miss you already. I tried to post this with my stars but the site was screwy. read more

Literally the best hairdresser in Florence. I came in with some reference photos and got EXACTLY the same cut. I had medium-long hair and asked for a lob, after cutting it a bit Joe asked if I wanted to go shorter or stop there, so thoughtful! (I went shorter like in the photo with the aforementioned amazing results) The staff was all very nice and kind, and they even offered me a nice coffee when I came in! A+! read more

Joe was recommended to me while I was on my honeymoon in Florence. I could not be happier, he was super friendly made time for me on short notice and after a destination wedding (which meant I had grown my hair for an updo) i managed to get a great A-line bob and all my honeymoon pictures look amazing! Even after getting back home to the US I have people complimenting my hair. Thank you Joe! I highly recommend him for a great haircut!! read more

I am a person who is very particular about who does my hair. In California I've been going to the same woman for ten years...and I just turned 23. My first encounter with Hairforce was with a friend of mine. He wanted someone to come with him when he got a haircut since he doesn't speak any Italian. I know enough to get by and was there for moral and language support! When we first walked in the place was packed, very popular with local Florentines. They were a little behind schedule but once they got started on my friend's hair cut I knew he was in good hands. This began to ignite my curiosity on what they could do with my hair. I saw one of the hair dressers doing a blow out and I couldn't help but want one too! So after my friend's haircut was done we went home and I told my roommate about Hairforce. She wanted to get highlights done so we went back the same day to make appointments. She made her appointment for the following day and I made mine a week later. Her highlights turned out perfectly and it only made me more excited to go get my hair done. Today I had my blow out appointment and I am so thrilled with my hair. The hair washing station has a massage chair! And the woman who did my hair (I wish I knew her name!!) gave an amazing head massage while she washed and conditioned my hair. When it came time to blow dry she asked what I wanted and I gave her a little bit to work with and she went from there. 35 min later I had gorgeous hair that she had blow dried and curled a little with a flat iron. It cost me only 19 Euro! I made sure to tip my hairdresser even though it is not necessary in Europe. I'm only in Florence for one more month and wish I had found Hairforce sooner! read more

The hairstylists at Hairforce were very friendly and accommodating when I called to schedule an appointment for highlights that same day. However, I am giving the salon three stars because the highlights given were quite uneven. In addition, the original quote over the phone went from 70 euros (over the phone) to 100 euros (quote in person before the start of the process) to finally 120 euros (the final bill). I did observe the haircuts that they were giving to some of the customers who came in. The haircuts were quite nice. I would give them a second try if I lived in Florence. read more

I am so happy to have found Hairforce while visiting Florence. I have wild, crazy, thick hair and knew I would need a wash and blow-dry while on vacation (as I am used to getting my hair blown-out back home in California). Not only did the Hairforce accommodate me (I emailed them through their website) but I got the best wash and blow-dry of my life! The cost was reasonable too - €23. I left the salon feeling glamorous and revived...my hair looked amazing! I definitely recommend this salon for anyone traveling or otherwise. Thank you, Hairforce! read more

When I found out I was studying abroad in Florence, I was slightly concerned that I would have a difficult time finding someone to color my hair. Before I left, I did some research to try and find a salon that was willing to use my color since I have a lot of allergies. Luckily, I heard back from Hair Force via e-mail and they said no problem! About a week ago, I went in to get my first single process. To say I was nervous was an understatement! The lady who put on my color and blew dry my hair did an absolutely wonderful job. Although she did not speak a lot of English, I felt at ease during the whole process. I am used to getting my hair blown out twice a week at home, so I was very excited to learn that blow outs here are only 16€. This is very cheap compared to what I pay in the States for a blow out. I am very particular with my hair and would wholeheartedly recommend this salon to anyone! . They also have super fast wifi. I am so grateful to have found this salon while studying abroad, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! read more

The workers really worked as a team and were super friendly. The chair you sit in to get your hair washed is a massage chair, they offered coffee and water A LOT, and were extremely nice and catering. It took a while, but I LOVE MY HAIR! They do amazing work. I loved every single person's hair who I saw in there. I got a ton of hair cut off and I got my hair died, blow dried, and styled for 109€. Overall I highly recommend this place. One of the workers even helped me learn some Italian from one of the magazines! read more

OMG. I was shocked. After a lifetime of poor and mediocre cuts and highlights, today I received the best haircut, color and styling EVER!! Giuseppe made an appointment for me on the same day I called. When I arrived he, Andrea and I sat and discussed what I was looking for. Giuseppe explained how that would damage my hair and ultimately not look good. He made alternate suggestions, we discussed, they discussed, and we came to an agreement. As my hair was already damaged, I received a deep treatment before being cut. The entire process; pretreatment, cut/shampoo, color/highlights and styling took just about three hours and the result is stunning (husband, daughter & strangers in salon agree). Now, if only I could take Andrea home with me to do this again in 3-4 months! read more
