- How would you describe yourself if you had to use three words?
Creative, positive, sensitive. - Tell us about yourself, what do you do in life?
I work mainly in communication and today I like to inspire people with my words and style to the point of becoming a communication testimonial myself. - How would you describe your look/style?
I have a very personal style, a mixture of sophistication, glamour and simplicity. I draw from the designers I love and the fashion shows I follow, but then I put my own touch on it. - For her, glamour is...?
Glamour is fun in always finding different and original looks for different occasions. - Milan for you is...?
Milan is my city of the heart, I love it in all seasons, even in scorching heat or fog. - What are your favourite places in Milan?
The Brera area is definitely my favourite and I am lucky enough to live there. But I also really like the area between the Catholic University and Corso Magenta. - What is the moment you remember with pleasure related to one of your hairstyles?
The hairstyle for my 25th wedding anniversary. Simply fantastic!! - What is the occasion for which you cannot miss an appointment in our salon?
Every opportunity is a good one! I have also shared this thought with my friends, who now frequent you. Coming to the COLONNA salon is an experience. You are immediately greeted by a very positive atmosphere by which you are infected. I, for example, let myself go in the capable hands and while they take care of my hair I unplug, relax and recharge! You know how!
