Learn Italian: Il parrucchiere è bravissimo a tagliare i capelli, ci andiamo spesso. - The hairdresser is very good at cutting hair, we go there often.

ci is a little word called a locative pronoun, and here it means 'there' (referring to the hairdresser's salon). In Italian, you place it immediately before the conjugated verb. It's the most natural and common way to say 'we go there' in everyday conversation.

Why use the preposition a in bravissimo a tagliare?

While in English you say someone is 'good at' doing something, in Italian you use the adjective bravo followed by the preposition a plus the infinitive verb. So 'very good at cutting' becomes bravissimo a tagliare.

Why is 'hair' translated as plural (i capelli)?

In English, head hair is treated as a singular, uncountable noun. In Italian, it is plural: i capelli literally means 'the hairs'. If you use the singular form, il capello, you are talking about one single strand of hair!

How is bravissimo formed?

It comes from the adjective bravo (good or skilled). By dropping the final vowel and adding the ending -issimo, you boost the meaning to 'very good' or 'extremely good' without having to use a separate word like molto.
