Need advice on finding a beauty salon in Milan?

Question

My husband and I are travelling to Milan for a friend's wedding.

I would like to have my hair and nails done right before the wedding, but since I've never been there I don't know any decent beauty salons...

Any recommendations welcome! :)

Answer 1

Actually, it depends on where your hotel is. But i don't think you need to worry, as Milano is full of beauty saloons. The key thing you've to keep in mind is that on Monday mornings these shops are mostly closed, they open at around 3pm. Rest of the days, the working hours are normal. And the second thing is that you'll need a reservation, as most of them work like this. What i can recommend is that as soon as you check in to the hotel, ask the hotel guys for a nice saloon, and call for a reservation immediately for the hours you prefer.

There's a saloon franchise called 'jean louis david', my personal recommendation is to keep away from those saloons, as i don't find them good.

If you're staying close to the center, it'll be very easy. There's one saloon at the top of the Armani plaza (5-floor Armani store on Via Manzoni), the name is 'Rolando Elisei', Tel: [phone]. If you'll just need a hair fon (not a cut), i can recommend this one. The cut is also good, but a simple cut can cost up to 100euros. It's clean and neat.

As i said, the best way is to ask the hotel guys for a close one that's also good.
