I have been going to Vicky for my color and cuts and it is an outing that I always look forward to and am never disappointed. She does an amazing job. I am always made to feel so welcome by everyone and leave feeling like a million dollars. I have moved a lot over the years and have had some disasterous experiences with stylists along the way. I can honestly say that finding the right salon and stylist is right up there with finding the best doctor etc. A good reason never to leave Tampa! Pros: Best salon, talented people, warmest atmoshpere Cons: None

Cassandra was amazing! I have really thick hair and most people end up cutting to much or too little of it.. she took out the weight that drives me crazy but didn't leave it feeling thin.. the color is perfect, looks natural but edgy. This was the first time I've ever been able to show someone a picture and leave the salon w/ the same cut. Everyone there was courteous and I didn't have to wait forever for Cassandra to get to me. I will definitely be going back. Pros: excellent, cut, color, and highlights Cons: none!

I scheduled my very 1st appointment w/Barbara Forgione Salon after coming across an ad for the Salon. I don't recall where I saw the ad, but something caught my eye and prompted me to call for more information. I scheduled my 1st appointment w/Victoria and it was far from the "typical" first time visit for a Cut/Color/Style! Unfortunately, I have an illness and due to my illness/subsequent treatment, I was losing my hair. During that first visit, Victoria was incredibly understanding and she handled my situation with the utmost care and warmth. Victoria enlisted help from two other Stylists, Cassandra and Peggy, who were also wonderful. At the end of a very long day for all 4 of us, I walked out of the Salon feeling like a new person!! I was able to look at myself in the mirror and NOT be reminded of my ailment because all three women did a phenomenal job! Victoria gave me an incredible haircut/style so that I could keep up with the challenges I was facing...my husband even noticed! I am very proud to say that I am now a client of Victoria's and will be for as long as I am in Tampa. I am also grateful to Cassandra and Peggy for their help as well. Jai is also wonderful at what he does, I enjoy the relaxing time I spend w/him while I get my eyebrows waxed. Every time I visit the Salon, I walk out feeling like a new woman who can face any and all challenges in front of me! Thank you to all of the wonderful staff @ Barbara Forgione Salon! AND THANK YOU BARBARA FOR PLACING THE AD, I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES IN LIFE AND I WAS MEANT TO BECOME A NEW CLIENT OF VICTORIA'S AND JAI'S AT YOUR SALON! ;) Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, wonderful environment Cons: No Cons as far as I'm concerned!

My first visit to Barbara was for Yuko, it was a great experience, and she is very well educated! I was getting my cut and color done somewhere else that was very pricey, and not happy with the results. I started looking for a new salon and immediately thought about Barbara. I got an appointment, and she fixed me up - not to mention for half the price I was paying! The team at Barbara Forgione is fun and I look forward to each appointment I have! Pros: Afforable, Fun

I found Barbara and Cassandra out of shear desperation and I am SOOO GLAD. I am 42 and finally have hair I LOVE and get compliments about! Since I can remember I have had hair that was frizzy (poofy as my daughter called it) and unmanageable. It was not hair that you would or could run your fingers through. I started going gray at 25 and hated it. I have tried several different coloring options including doing it myself (not a good idea by the way), but I have always had a tendency to turn orange. I showed up on the steps of the Salon one day in tears and ready for Halloween with my usual orange tint. It has taken a few visits, a shampoo and conditioner change and the addition of a filter to my shower head, but I now have soft silky hair with an easy style and NO ORANGE. The salon is priced higher than what I was used to paying but it is worth EVERY penny... I LOVE YOU GUYS!! And Jai you ROCK! Tracy Pros: Great Color! Great Hair Cut! Cons: Little Expensive

I have been getting my hair done in NYC even after I moved back to FL 4 years ago...I am obviously a loyal and picky client, but I decided that I needed to find a permanent salon here in town...and as fate would have it I found Vicky at the Barbara Forgione Salon. I have gone to her twice already (in the 4 months I have been here), she convinced me to make a big cut (5 inches) to achieve the new Gwyneth Bob and I was extremely happy with the results. The second time I saw her she did my color and it was amazing, she mixed golden and blond highlights in my auburn hair and made it look natural without being boring. Besides being a talented hair artist she is also an amazing person to talk to and makes you feel at ease as soon as you sit down in her chair. The salon is small and charming, and it definitely one of the best kept secrets in Tampa...I am surprised there is not a waiting list out the door for this place. I definitely recommend this salon and Vicky. Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing
