✨ Hairdresser open in August in central Milan

Finding a hairdresser open in August in Milan is not easy: most salons close for two or three weeks at exactly the moment when you might need a fresh blow-dry, a colour touch-up or a luminous lightening before your holidays. At Alexim Atelier Duomo, in the heart of Milan just steps from the Duomo, we stay open for almost the entire month of August and close only during the central week of Ferragosto.

Whether you are a Milan resident, a professional working in the city centre through August or a traveller passing through, you will find an elegant and welcoming salon ready to care for your hair with the same attention as always. In this article we tell you when we are open, what you can do in the salon during the warm season and why it is worth booking a few days in advance.

💎 Why an open salon is hard to find in August

In August Milan changes pace. Many businesses pull down the shutters for the whole month, and those who stay in the city, for work or by choice, often find themselves without a reliable place for hair care. Yet summer is exactly when hair needs the most attention: sun, salt, chlorine and heat all put colour and hydration to the test.

This is why we have chosen to stay open almost without interruption, with our usual quality standards and the same one-to-one approach. Even in the quietest month of the year, every appointment at Alexim Atelier Duomo remains personalised and cared for down to the smallest detail.

✨ Our August opening dates

We stay open for almost the whole month, with the only break during Ferragosto week. Here are the dates to note.

A tip: the weeks just before and after the closure are the busiest. If you want to secure your slot for a colour, a lightening service or a cut, we recommend booking a few days in advance.

💎 What you can do with us in August

In August we offer all of our services, with no shortcuts and no rush. Even in summer every appointment is built around you, with one client at a time and a dedicated consultation.

• 💎 Colour and touch-up: a bespoke colour that enhances your complexion and keeps the hair healthy, ideal before or after your holidays.
• ✨ Balayage and Airtouch: natural, luminous lightening, perfect for summer, with soft transitions and no harsh lines.
