The salon · Via Sottoriva 14, Verona

The chair
where it began.

Four chairs under the arcades by the Adige · Tuesday to Friday, 10:00–19:00

The gloss ritual · seventy minutes · €85

An hour that lasts a season.

It begins with your hair dry, under a daylight lamp, while your colourist reads its pattern, its porosity and where the light breaks on it. Then the full ritual at the basin — cleanse, a warm-towel mask, a cool rinse — and the elixir pressed in strand by strand.

You leave with your hair finished and a handwritten regimen card. The €85 is returned as credit against any products you take home that day.
