I luckily stumbled across this darling little salon while roaming around Positano. I was in desperate need of nice blow-out and walked up the stone stairs to see if they could take me. The staff was warm and friendly and said that they could accommodate this walk-in. Yes, success!
Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about the hair-styling not only because my command of the Italian language is not awesome but also because one never knows who to trust with the hair! But, I figured that since this was only a wash and blow-dry, it wouldn't cause any irreversible problem so I stayed and I am so glad I did! During my brief wait for a stylist, I perused the salons offering of beauty products which included some divine and exclusive perfumes...as a self-proclaimed perfume connoisseur, this can only mean trouble for me! But the good kind of trouble!
The products they used on my hair, while I have no idea what they are, smelled delicious. And, the woman who styled my hair was very nice and somewhat maternal. It sounds like a strange way to describe a person but I just simply felt like I was in good hands with her. She spoke about as much English as I speak Italian so we said very little to one another but we somehow seemed to understand each other. I love when that happens!
I understand, from the woman who checked me in, that the salon is jointly owned by her and her mother (Luisa e Flavia) and it was very obvious that she likes what she does for a living. The salon was steadily bustling with all manner of women and everyone seemed genuinely happy.
My hair looked and felt amazing and I was very pleased with the service at this salon. I checked-out with great hair along with a couple of those exquisite perfumes and, whenever I use them, I fondly reminisce of my great experience at Luisa e Flavia and of the wonderful town of Positano. read more
