I'd like a layered cut.
Stress 'sca-LA-to'. The 'sc' before 'a' is hard — 'ska'.
Use this when you want layers in your haircut to add volume and movement. Specify how long or where you want the layers.
'Scalato' = layered (from 'scalare' — to scale/stagger). 'Taglio scalato' is the standard Italian term for a layered cut. Other common cut styles: 'taglio bob' (bob cut), 'taglio alla garçonne' (pixie cut), 'taglio lungo scalato' (long layered cut).
Vorrei le scalature sulla lunghezza.
I'd like layers on the length.
Specifying where the layers go.
Un taglio scalato con la riga di lato.
A layered cut with a side parting.
Adding a parting preference.
Mantenga la lunghezza ma aggiunga movimento.
Keep the length but add movement.
Preserving length while adding texture.
Italian hairdressers are internationally renowned for their technique. The Italian haircut industry has produced world-famous stylists. The term 'taglio all'italiana' is recognised globally as shorthand for a precise, sophisticated cut. Cities like Milan host major hair competitions ('campionati di parrucchieri').
