Top 3 English-Speaking Hairdressers in Rome (2025)
While my Italian is now probably good enough that I will not leave a salon with blue hair or a random bob, this was definitely not the case when I first moved to Rome as an international student. Back then I spent a lot of time Googling English-speaking hairdressers in Rome hoping to find someone who could understand exactly what I wanted.
I thought it would be fun to share the three English speaking hairdressers in Rome that I have tried so far and truly loved. They are all talented, friendly, and kind of affordable which was important for me as a student. There are of course many more salons out there, but these are the ones that worked for me and always left me feeling great about my hair.
Where to Find English Books in Rome: 4 Must-Visit Bookstores
I must admit, when it comes to the number of books I read each year, I feel like I might have peaked. In 2023, I read 43 books.

I have simply spent more time on other hobbies lately, which has left me with a rather sad-looking Goodreads page.
However, it is my goal to start reading more again, so I thought this would be the perfect moment to share my favourite English-language bookshops in Rome. When I first moved to Rome, I was a little afraid I wouldn't find bookstores with a good selection of English books, but over time I found some great spots. If you're in Rome and looking for English books, here are the shops I recommend.
