About us

A hundred years of craftsmanship and tailoring. Where shading is a family tradition.

You are not just walking into a salon: you are stepping through a piece of history. This place has existed since before degradé was invented — almost a century, five generations of the same craft. A classic Italian story of craftsmanship, made of workshops, marriages, daughters learning from mothers, and millions of heads styled.

Philosophy

The time you take for yourself.

There is a moment, as soon as you sit in our chair, when the rest of the day stays outside the door. Before we even talk about cut or color, we look into each other's eyes. It is in that look that our work begins.

Marina calls it the true meaning of our craft: connecting with people. Those who sit with us entrust us with their hair, but above all they take a moment for themselves, in a place designed to give it back to them with care.

This is where our idea of wellbeing comes from, accompanying you 360 degrees: in the choice of products, in the time dedicated to listening, in the quality you can feel even in the smallest details — which this year also becomes a series of live appointments to talk about wellbeing beyond hair. A care that is built slowly, appointment after appointment.

The history

Five generations, one craft.

Salvatore and Luigi

It all begins with Salvatore, a barber, and his son Luigi, who like him learnt the trade during military service, with razor and shaving brush.
