For over 25 years, a reference point for beauty in Vicchio. There are businesses that grow by chasing trends, and others that build their own story day by day, through hard work, people’s trust, and the desire to keep improving. KP Parrucchieri, Estetica & Solarium undoubtedly belongs to the second category.
Katia Pasi’s story begins long before the salon opened. After her professional training, she worked in Florence at a major shop where the owner was involved in fashion shows. A dynamic environment that took the team working all over Italy and even abroad, allowing her to engage with the latest trends and a high professional standard. Yet, despite the opportunities, Katia had one clear desire: to return to Vicchio and build something in her own town.
And so KP was born in June 1998. A choice made with the heart, but also with a clear entrepreneurial vision. Results came quickly: after just six months, the business grew to the point of needing to hire four collaborators, a sign of a clientele that immediately recognized quality, professionalism, and care.
Over the years, the salon has continued to evolve. In 2006, a first “trial” beauty cabin was created, designed to offer a complementary service to clients. The experiment proved successful, and in 2009 the beauty department officially launched under the guidance of Monia Pieri, further expanding the offering with treatments dedicated to wellness and personal care, along with solarium services.
Today, KP is an established reality made up of four hairdressers and one beautician, capable of offering a complete service thanks to a close-knit, constantly trained team. Katia is joined by Monia, Alessandra, Sabrina, and Elena. Training is indeed one of the company’s pillars: the beauty sector changes rapidly, and so the team regularly takes part in refresher courses, workshops, and professional events, collaborating with brands such as INSIGHT Professional and GHD.
But what’s the secret of a business that, after over twenty-five years, continues to be a point of reference? Katia answers simply: “I simply try to be the best for my clients.” A sentence that perfectly captures the salon’s philosophy: no sterile competition, just the daily commitment to listen, advise, and find the solution best suited to each person.
One challenge remains open: finding new collaborators. Like many in the sector, KP is constantly looking for motivated professionals who share the same passion for this craft and the same attention to the client.
From 1998 to today, trends, techniques, and tools have changed. What hasn’t changed is the approach with which Katia and her team welcome every person who walks into the salon: professionalism, continuous learning, and the belief that beauty always starts with listening. In the end, a business’s success isn’t measured only by the hairstyles created, but by the people who, year after year, continue to choose it with trust.
