Your barber will see you now, right this way...

Gentlemen,...and why not ladies too,...imagine having your hair cut and for the men, beard trimmed at the incredible Eredi Zucca in Milan, founded in 1652. Located at Via Bigli, 6, 20121, the Neo-Classical interiors feature ebonized paneled walls, intricate mosaic floors, coffered ceilings, large plaster portrait medallions, and only three private care areas with luxurious green velvet barber chairs. They sell hair, body, and beard care products through their site (although delivery to the US is probably suspended due to the current confusion of bizarre, whimsical tariffs). I really love the wunderkammer (German, meaning "wonder cabinet") or cabinet of curiosities on their homepage where they display wares amongst treasures both natural and man-made. Gorgeous!

BEAUTY: Painting--Jan De Vliegher

Fancy a quick trip to Europe? Belgian artist Jan De Vliegher creates lushly Impressionistic images of top destinations on the continent and in the UK as well as lovely 18th and 19th century decorative arts: France (Versailles, Sèvres porcelain displays), Italy (Siena, Venice, the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Murano glassware and chandeliers), Austria (Schönbrunn Palace), and England (the vast decorative arts holdings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London). I love how his technique is gorgeously loose with huge, vigorous brushstrokes but the result, like a true Impressionist, conjures the complete realistic view of that place or object. So beautiful...

Top to bottom: Antinous; Boboli; Cabinet; Chandelier; Cherubs 8; Duomo Siena; Facade Roze; Glass 4; Glass 23; Happy Lovers; Interieur Rood; Marcus Aurelius; Schonbrunn 2; Sèvres Plate With Flowers; Treasury 11; V & A 3; Venus Disarming Cupid; Versailles
