I was truly blessed by Barbara Forgione and Missi White, They are the angels that touched me and my daughters, when they gave me a makeover of my hair, makeup and a photoshoot. This salon is the best in Tampa!! We had a great memorable time, I have cancer and they made me feel like a new person. I now feel confident and beautiful, thanks to them. I would recommend this salon to anyone that wants professional advice on hair and beauty. Everyone in this salon treated us like divas. I love my new look and so does my family. Thank you Barbara and Missi. God bless you always!!!!

Pros: Professional knowledge on New and hot looks for your hair.

Cons: I wish she had a salon in Brandon!!

OMG they can fix anything!!

I'm new to Tampa and had tried a few salons to keep the gray out of my hair, I'd used a lot of box color in the past and was trying to get a more natural look. The problem was that every where I went the stylists would match the box color...so I'd paid a small fortune to get the results I could out of a box. The first thing Barbara asked me was if I wanted to go back to my natural color, I said of course but can you figure it out? She said of course and explained my natural colors and noticed what no other stylist had noticed to date...my hair was taking on an orange bleached color. Exactly what I was trying to get rid of! Needless to say she spent several hours and gave me priceless advice on how better to care for my hair. It now looks very natural and very healthy!. It was expensive but I knew that going in, I'd already paid a small fortune to so many other places to mess it up. Thankfully I don't have to worry about anyone messing with my hair that is skilled at matching box colors. I've got Barbara on speed dial and plan to keep my hair looking healthy and natural by becoming one of her regulars!

Pros: Barbara knows what she's doing and does it well

Cons: cost

Excellence in cut, color and service!

I had gone for a cut/color last year to Salon Jack, where Kim placed a demi-permanent VERY GOLD color in my hair. She told me it would gradually wash out, but it never did, and I was horrified by the warmth and gold in my hair. My husband and co-workers all thought my hair looked "red". I brought in 5 different pics to show her the look I was trying to achieve, and none of them were reddish-gold in color. When I returned to Salon Jack to give her a chance to fix the color, she applied a toner, but I could not see any difference, and when I explained my dissatisfaction she replied "You call this red???'" I was very bothered by this comment, felt very uncomfortable sitting in her chair. With customer service like that I knew I'd never be back. I made an appointment at Barbara Forgione Salon based upon the recommendation from a co-worker. Vicky did my cut and color, and I am so pleased with the results!!! A complete 180 degree different experience from the other place. Vicky is very talented, professional, and truly wants to make you happy. She is extremely capable, and knows what she's doing. I am so happy to have found her, I love my hair!
