STUDY ABROAD
Academy F, the brainchild of noted Los Angeles hairdresser Michael Polsinelli and Gianluca Sasso, is located in a historic convent in the heart of Florence, Italy. A concept space where hairdressers can exchange ideas and connect culturally, it offers a number of seminars for stylists who want to expand their creativity. Florentine architect Paolo Romagnoli designed the space—he's known for his ability to combine the original historic feel of a building with the modern. "We'd like to create a community of hairdressers from all over the world," Polsinelli says. For more information and a list of classes, visit academyf.com. —M.D.
