Useful words to know when getting a haircut or going to a salon
Before heading out to get a haircut or to the salon, you might find the glossary of terms helpful when you get there. In the center of Rome, generally hair stylists will be able to speak enough English to understand what you’re looking for. But if you’re brave enough to have your hair cut or colored in a foreign country, it’s probably a good idea to have a few basic words under your belt.

blow out piega (pee-eh-gah)
color colore (co-lor-eh)
salon parrucchiere (pah-ru-kee-air-eh)
scissors forbici (for-bee-chee)
