I had high hopes for HeadSpace Salon after seeing all the great reviews, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. During my first visit, I was told, "Come back in 6 months--too many layers!" I followed that advice and returned after 6 months, only to be told, "Still one layer left--come back in 3 months!" So, I came back today, hoping for some progress, but what I received was beyond frustrating. The stylist was rude and refused to cut my hair at all. I asked for at least a trim or some shape around my face, but he outright declined. He conveyed his refusal with a statement that was dismissive and condescending, saying he wouldn't cut my hair just because I wanted something different. I live in Rome and travel frequently, making it difficult to schedule haircuts. I'm furious that he wasted my time, especially after giving him multiple chances. I've never encountered a stylist who couldn't create a hairstyle or a transitional look for long, straight hair with fringe bangs. It makes me question his talent and creativity. I cannot recommend HeadSpace Salon based on this experience. It's disheartening to feel ignored and undervalued as a client. I see based on the other negative reviews, I'm not alone in this experience. I can speak quite a bit of Italian but I'm not fluent, so I used Google translate, because when it comes to my hair, I don't want misunderstandings. Maybe he only likes to cut Italians. He should say so up front if thats the case. read more

Excellent service and technique at a very reasonable price! Great wash and blow out And very friendly staff!

I came in for a wash and blow dry and was turned away. I'm from New York and have been to top quality salons and this was a very stuck up experience (for what I don't know) and in which they spoke Italian to each other thinking I did not understand any of it. I walked in based on reviews before coming in and of course know that someone may not be able to see you the same day - but also the following day? Or at all? You mean any day at all? The vibe is not nice and let me tell you something, you are not running something special here you have a salon to service customers and when you give good service your business does better. Especially maybe international clients. Maybe a blow out wasn't enough money for you to make for a booking period, but don't you think perhaps if you do one thing well you get more business? umiliatevi! Avoid at all costs. read more

Head Space is an exceptional hair salon located in the heart of Rome. I would not trust anyone else with my blonde hair. They touched up my roots, performed a collagen treatment to liven up my hair, and trimmed my split ends. Throughout the entire appointment, I felt as if Giuseppe was creating a master piece. He is of the utmost professionalism and is a master at coloring hair!! read more

Head Space - Hair Salons Near Me - Rome, RM

Stopped in during my trip to Rome for a quick touch up. Very kind and professional. Love how my hair looked!

I have been trying to get ash blonde hair for YEARS. Because my hair is so thick I usually end up with a rushed, crayola yellow, partial highlight all for upwards of $300 (including tip) in the US. BUT NOT HERE. I've literally never received such great color or service. At one point all three stylist in the salon were working on me at one time. I actually got kinda nervous because I thought something was wrong, but turns out they all just really care and want to produce the best style possible. I wish I spoke Italian so that I could have thanked them better, but hopefully they see this! Thank you :)) Also the prices were very reasonable and the consultation definitely let me know what to expect/what was feasible. Thanks again guys! read more

Head Space - ash blonde balayage, I've never loved my hair more!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Rome, RM

I was on vacation in Italy and my hair had definitely seen better days after the 15 hour flight. I had no desire to style my own hair so I did some research and found head space and boy am I happy I did! They're incredible, they squeezed me in on an already tight schedule. He even agreed to give me a hair cut even though I had only originally asked for a blowout. They served me an espresso and water as soon as I sat in the chair and checked in often throughout the process. I had a dryer scalp from traveling and he scrubbed my scalp really well to help with the flaking and then recommended some products that would help. I love the way he styled my hair, asking for my input along the way on how I wanted it styled, how I parted my hair and how I wanted my curls to fall. I loved my experience here. I felt like a new woman walking out of that salon! I felt confident and beautiful and quiet frankly obsessed with my hair. I wish I could pack them up and take them home to America with me. Now I have a new salon to come to when I'm back in Italy! I can't recommend enough! They are incredible! read more

Head Space - Blowout with beach waves :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Rome, RM

Amazing overall experience at this salon! I came to Italy knowing I would want to get a haircut but wasn't sure when I would be able to fit time into my schedule. I emailed the salon the day before my "free day" and they were able to fit me into the schedule. They're very quick to respond to emails. The haircut itself came out beautiful. I have curly hair, so am typically scared to get my haircut, but was in excellent hands and was very pleased with the results read more

100% worth every penny. They pay extra careful attention to you and make sure you leave feeling beautiful and happy. read more

This is the best salon I have ever been to. This place was so amazing and the whole team was too. They made sure you were comfortable and they gave you so much attention, I have never been to a place with such amazing service. They took time out of their day to ensure perfection and this is the best my hair has ever looked! The pricing was amazing, honestly super cheap for what the service was. I'd recommend 100/10, they treat you like family here- seriously the best! read more

Don't call Giuseppe Paliotta, the hairdresser, is something more. He prefer to be called the artisan of the head and I confirm it's the true. I've tried a lot of professionals in this area because I'm an actress but It's about 4 years, when I met him for the first time when I needed someone special to cut my hair and from the moment when I met him I decided to assume him as the best artisan of the head I ever tried in all my life. Even if I didn't live any more in Rome I wait the day I'm free and I'm going to Rome Just for this important appointment...many women and men will be understand me! For me it's a kind of ritual: one day per year it's booked for me to Giuseppe at his beautiful and elegant saloon in the centre of Rome (very close to Piazza Navona and Piazza Campo de Fiori) to take care of my hairs. When you go to cut or to dye your hair here you could feel as you are floating,shining and meditating: a moment that everybody should concede to themselves sometimes. It's a cuddle, a caress, it's magician: for an hour you should just enjoy and trust on him because he never wrong. For me it's also important, the fact he decided to use a specific organic brand with natural oil essences, called John Master Organic (fabulous!) It's an experience, I really suggest to you if you need an artisan for your head. Take care of you, Cuidate Prenditi cura di te. read more

Amazing service and level of care and attention at this salon. And yes, they are English speaking. Giuseppe and his team care deeply about the level of services they provide as well as your happiness. They managed to give me a very bold haircut and color per my request that other salons I have frequented in many other countries could not perform. I highly recommend the team. Giuseppe is a gifted artist. Don't hesitate to book. I did my research on all other salons in the city and was a very happy customer and guest! read more

They are located in Campo de' Fiori. I was here on holiday and wanted a hair blowout. I walked in and made an appointment for the next day. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Dominique was my stylist. I received a wash and blowout for €30. I was in and out in less than 1 hour. I definitely recommend. read more

I got a hair cut from Alex. He's a magician!!! Literally copied and pasted the hair style I showed him. I was mind blown. He's so good it's unreal. The staff is so nice too. While my sister waited for me they gave her water. 10/10 experience!! Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely spectacular. This is the best salon I've ever been to! There is a bishon wandering around, good music, kind people, and they did an amazing job coloring my roots and giving my hair a trim. The wash was divine... I didn't feel like my hair was being pulled out like at some other places and it was a great massage. Definitely will go back and 100% recommend. read more

Head Space - Outside the shop with fresh hair color, wash, and trim - Hair Salons Near Me - Rome, RM

I am visiting from The USA and just had an outstanding blow dry with Dominica. I have long thick hair and she really made it shine in a short time The salon is small with just three chairs but very comfortable and cute. Hint, the door facing Palazzo Della Cancelleria is locked, you have to go around to the side street to get in read more

This has to be, hands down, the best salon I have ever experienced. There was a 15 minute consultation, and Dominique translated my wishes to Giuseppe. They both worked together on my hair and turned my mousy brown dyed hair with gray roots into a masterpiece of ash blond highlights that disguised my gray roots. They listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and did a fabulous job. It did not come cheap: cut, highlights, toner and blow dry totaled out to 265E. But, I have never been happier with the way my hair looks. read more

This place is an absolute gem!!! I left feeling like a different woman (much improved!). I found this salon on yelp and decided to try it while in Rome. I cannot say enough about the time and detail to attention that was given me. I had highlights put in and haircut with blow dry. I am so very pleased with everything except for the fact that I do not live in Rome, and will not be able to return in 6 weeks read more

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. read more

5 stars, all the way. From the start, the owner was very responsive and attentive. At the appointment, Giovanni and his staff were professional, listened to what I wanted, and gave great ideas - taking care at each step to make sure the result was amazing. And it was!! I highly recommend this salon for its staff and amazing attention to detail! read more

Just got the best haircut of my life!! I went based on the reviews here on yelp and I was not disappointed. Giuseppe did an amazing job and it was so fun to experience a salon here in Rome. read more

My daughter and I came in needing 2 haircuts & a somewhat complicated color correction. Our limited Italian vocabulary wasn't a problem at all. We were greeted warmly and the interpreter / co-stylist ensured that we were understood by all involved. We felt completely at ease with this pro team and, after a long day of sightseeing, it was wonderful to be able to relax in their very capable hands. Our hair has never looked better. Go to Giuseppe! He really knows how to color, cut, and make you feel fabulous. read more

Wonderful, friendly service, and fantastic staff! Mini poodle is so cute, his bark is worse than his bite! I got in with little notice, I needed a touch up and refresh of highlights and color. The space is gorgeous and Giuseppe is amazing with scissors. I spent a few hours because my hair is quite stubborn, but they made me feel at home. They weren't happy until I was happy. Grazie!! I love it!!! read more

Guiseppe and his team did a terrific job with my haircut and provided coffee and tea as well as letting me charge my iphone and recommend a good restaurant to eat nearby. He is an artist for sure! read more

So happy with the result! I got highlights and they were very natural and beautiful. Will definitely come back here if I ever am in Rome again. read more

One of the very best blow dries I've ever gotten, anywhere. I found this salon on Yelp and made my appointment through Yelp messaging (and found the response quick and the appt-making super efficient). I was a little nervous as my Italian isn't great, and I needed my hair to look good for an event during my stay in Rome. The stylist was friendly, spoke English and gave me what was honestly the best wash and blow dry I ever could have asked for. The place is cute, stylish and in a great neighborhood right by the market at Campo de Fiore (my husband docked up at Roma Beer Company while I had my hair done). I would one hundred percent return again for styling when in Rome. Thank you, Head Space!! read more

I was so happy with the service Giuseppe provided that I had to come on here and explain why anyone should give this place a visit. I don't normally leave reviews but the service and attention to detail in this place is unlike any I have ever been in, including in the states which is where I'm originally from! Thank you Giuseppe and team for transforming my hair, I will definitely be back. read more

This is the place. Look no further. You will not find a better salon anywhere else in Rome, or Italy. I think this salon is probably the best in Europe. I have had so many compliments on my haircut and my highlights. Trust me. Look no further. Choose Head Space. I live in Washington DC and will find a way to go back to Rome just to have my hair highlighted and styled by this amazing team. Thank you to Giuseppe, Monica, and Dominique for everything!Ciao! Questo è il posto. Non guardare oltre. Non troverete un salone di meglio altrove a Roma, o in Italia. Penso che questo salone è probabilmente il migliore in Europa. Ho avuto così tanti complimenti per il mio taglio di capelli e colpi di sole. Fidati di me. Non guardare oltre. Scegliere Head Space. Io vivo a Washington DC e troverò un modo per tornare a Roma solo per avere i capelli evidenziato e stile da questa squadra straordinaria. Grazie a Giuseppe, Monica, e Dominique per tutto! Ciao! read more

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. read more

What an excellent experience with Giuseppe and his highly professional, very experienced team of assistants. I discovered HeadSpace on Yelp along with some other salons. I chose HeadSpace for the immediate, caring response I received to my questions about the services in particular their color processing as I had been traveling for four weeks and definitely was in need of color and a cut. While I used Google translate for my Italian I always received a response in English so you can be assured your questions are understood and responded to accurately. I received a confirmation notice before my appointment and a query as to if they needed to answer any additional questions. Arriving to the salon is easy as it is accessible on foot or by cab from central Rome. I took a cab from Piazza San Di Silvestri about a ten minute ride with traffic (always), but easily walkable from there on 15-20 minutes. When I arrived at the salon I was immediately impressed. It is impeccably designed and spotlessly clean. I was greeted by Giuseppe's lovely partners with such care. Beverages immediately offered and Giuseppe greeted me personally. I was so impressed with his focused analysis of my color and cut and with his partner explaining to me in English his recommendations I was in total agreement and we proceeded. This was the best 3 hours I ever spent in a salon. Foremost because it was a serene environment where the attention, although there were others in the salon, was focused on me. The color process was so relaxing as some of the previous color was slowly stripped from my hair with a combing technique I was not familiar with. Giuseppe guided that process's every step - examining, drying, reapplying until he achieved his goal. Before color was applied he did a preliminary cut which is extraordinary to watch. He is a master of the scissors and spend painstaking time to create the shape and texture of the cut. Following the final color and toner was applied again with Giuseppe's constant supervision. I was overwhelmed with satisfaction at the color he achieved - so natural but full of vibrancy. Then for the massage shampoo - a truly zen experience. Then the final cut. Once again I watched in amazement how precise Giuseppe is with a scissors. What he achieved was perfection. I am so in love with his cut and color and so is my American stylist that we will try to achieve this at home. She is a remarkable artist with hair as well. We were both very excited to see what an new direction from Italy would bring. I also watched Giuseppe style the hair of three American young women who were attending a wedding. He accomplished an Amy Winehouse up doo that was perfection. What skill. For the service and attention the pricing is excellent no more this quality of service you receive in America's best salons. I hope you will book an appointment with Giuseppe and his team of caring, accomplished stylist. There is no pretense in this salon. You will get 6 star service and know you have been styled by a master and supported Giuseppe's equally qualified team. It is truly a Roman holiday in HeadSpace! I hope you are privileged to enjoy the same experience. Grazie Giuseppe and team!! read more

I wanted to dye my hair on a whim, and I checked out Head Space because of the amazing yelp reviews. I am so glad I found it! Giuseppe and the two women that work with him did an absolutely amazing job! I don't speak much Italian and they don't speak much English, but they took care to understand exactly what I had in mind. I originally went in for just a dye, but Giuseppe gave me a stellar haircut as well in order to make the color look as good as possible. They were all so sweet and the salon itself is really nice. I had a wonderful experience, 11/10, would recommend! read more

It was a great experience. I have the best cut and highlighting of my life. Truly. I am very glad I went!

Extremely satisfied with the results of my balayage. The team was extremely hospitable and cared deeply about the results and my happiness. In the end they pulled off an amazing job and made my hair look extremely natural even with bleach in it. Thank you so much read more

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. read more

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. read more

Giussepi was great and my cut is lovely. The staff were very welcoming and I am pleased I took the chance. Wish I had the time for a colour!

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 was very happy with Giuseppe and the staff at Head Space. I arranged for an appointment via the Yelp app, which was very convenient. The atmosphere at Head Space was friendly and welcoming. I had a haircut and colour, Giuseppe did an amazing job, he was very attentive in ascertaining the hair style I wanted; very consultative. He took his time in cutting my hair with attention to detail. I also walked out with a great organic hair product. Thank you. read more
