Reviews of Elevate Hair Salon

Alliy Vetzel

Absolutely incredible experience. Took my daughters to see Matt, after having such an incredible experience myself. My teenage daughters loved how much he listened to their ideas and what they wanted. Matt helped them both find the right styles, appropriate recommendations of products and how to use them. Highly recommend, great salon, absolutely love Matt, and the other stylists are so kind and welcoming. Best place I have found in the Tampa Bay area, we live 35+ minutes away and are forever customers.

Jaycie Cruz

I've been coming to Sara @ Elevate for almost 2 years- always love my deva cut & color!! 💕💇‍♀️ I usually get blonde highlights but decided to change it up. …

Vanessa Ramirez

Needed a new hair stylist and found this place. My curly hair had been unruly for the last year and Sara worked wonders with the Deva Curl cut. I haven’t seen my curls in such good condition in so long. The staff were so friendly and provided great service.

Ashley Albizu

From the time I walked into the door, I was welcomed and made comfortable through my whole experience! Sara listened to exactly what I wanted, took her time, and gave me a great balayage and cut. We had great conversations too! I will absolutely be back!

Kimberly Numa

I was in need of a color and blow dry last minute and Matthew went out of his way to accommodate me. That doesn’t happen often in this day and age. He was so kind, attentive, and a pleasure to speak with. My hair came out great! Thank you Matthew!

Yasmine Nicaragua

I was very satisfied with my hair, my very first time doing it and the hairstylists was very patient and understanding in what I wanted. She successfully exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely be coming back.

Hope C.

The confidence I gained after I met with the most knowledgeable chica aka Yarizel. Súper understand and having much patience with my hair knowing curly hair isn’t the most easiest especially with so much volume, did an amazing trim

Alex Ware

Matthew is amazing!! He took my hair from a lion’s mane to flawless!! Thank you so much for not only amazing customer service but absolutely stunning hair as well! You're the best and sending everyone to him!

Nicole Perez

I love this place! I’ve been coming here for a year and a half and to see Sarah who specializes in curly hair. Very helpful with hair styling techniques. Highly recommend!

Charity Merrell

Sara is literally my favorite stylist!! I can always count on her to give me exactly what I ask for and more! Amazing service. :)

Tamara Contino

The woman behind the magic is Jessica from Elevate Salon in South Tampa. Ladies, if you want thee best cut, color, etc, Jessica is amazing! Jessica is the owner of the salon and second to none in creating beautiful hair that makes you feel like a rockstar after leaving her salon! Check her out!!

Maryann Young

I came in there for wash and style(flat iron) I think my hairstylist was Brandi. She was good and took her time with my hair. Im not tender headed but when brushing my hair I would've liked it if she held it so that it wasn't tugging at my scalp mind you my hair is very long and curly... but other than that she is very good

Sonja Massa

My first time visiting this salon and I loved my experience at Barbara Forigone Salon! From the quality service to the results, everything was great. Upon arriving, I felt welcomed and throughout my experience I felt very comfortable. The staff was so nice! I got a Deva Cut from Maggie and it came out perfect! I have always had long hair and decided (nervously) to go short. Maggie cut my hair perfectly and I am really happy with how it came out. My hair has never looked so healthy and curly. I'll definitely be returning!

Katherine Lozano

Long story short: This was my first time here, and I'm so glad I got Maggie as my stylist! I absolutely love my cut. She paid a lot of attention to detail, was super helpful and nice, and made sure I was happy with how much length she was cutting. Plus, the price of the haircut was more than fair! After driving 2 hours to my hair stylist in Orlando whenever I needed a haircut, I'm so glad I found a Tampa stylist who I can trust with my hair. Also, the salon had a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. A little more info: I hadn't gotten more than a trim in years, so I was pretty nervous about wanting to cut off a few inches and getting shoulder-length hair. I also always get a bit nervous because even though my hair isn't super curly, some hair stylists have found a way to really mess it up. That being said, Maggie was awesome! I wasn't sure about whether I wanted layers, for instance, and she suggested putting some in to help my hair have more body (which was an excellent idea because it helped give my hair some volume and prevented it from becoming shapeless). She also managed to fix my side bangs, which were cut awkwardly by my previous stylist. I opted for the Deva cut (I have wavy/curly hair), and she paid really close attention to any stray hairs and cut with such attention to detail that I knew I was in good hands. I've had one Deva cut before (at a different salon) and it really didn't turn out well, but Maggie restored my faith in these types of cuts, and I'll probably get another one next time I go see her. So final note, I definitely recommend Maggie -- go see her! :)

Shianne Grace

i went in for my first ever Deva Cut, being a natural curly girl it has been a challenge to find somewhere to have a good hair cut. This salon made me feel so comfortable. Brittany took great care of my hair!! She is so talented and her experience and passion for curly hair really shows through her work. Had an awesome experience and very pleased with my new cut!

Lindsey Chase

I had a great time at Elevate!!! Sara was my stylist, she made sure to understand exactly what I wanted done and did an amazing job. I absolutely love my hair cut and will be coming back again!

Illyanna

I booked an appointment at Elevate for the first time and I loved my experience there. My stylist was Brandi and she was super sweet and helped me figure out the perfect style for my face shape and I left feeling super confident and happy. The place itself is really cozy and cute and I will definitely come back.

Michelle Frasier

This is one of the best hair experiences I have ever had! I decided to try the Barbara Forgione salon on the advice of a friend and I was a little hesitant when I made the appointment. My previous hairdresser just moved away and I found myself in need of a new place to go. And the Barbara Forgione salon was wonderful. My stylist was Maggie - and she is phenomenal! She really listened to what I wanted and was able to deliver, both with the cut and the color. I have gotten so many compliments in the last three days and I have recommended the salon - and Maggie - over a dozen times already! I am so happy with my new look and with the way that Maggie took care of me. I don't have to look for a new salon anymore because this is it!

Jessica Paxton

I was here for the first time. I have never been to a curl specialist, but did some research and I have to say Sarah was excellent! I love the way my hair turned out for probably the first time in my life. Thank you!!

Tara P

I recently visited the salon for the first time and was so impressed and happy with my experience. Tuya took such good care of me. She had my hair looking fabulous by the time I left. I was so so happy with it. She is an artist with the color, and she knows how to give you a cut that’s best for your hair and your lifestyle. She is so welcoming and quite the perfectionist. Definitely give this place a try!!!!

Portia Shepherd

Love, love, love Barbara Forgione Salon! I've been going to this salon for years and cannot emphasize enough the quality hair care service provided in a warm, friendly, caring atmosphere. Barbara is a master colorist who has done wonders in bringing my too-dark color to a beautiful highlighted blonde that blends much better with those pesky gray roots. She's a seasoned professional who listens, recommends, and delivers; satisfaction guaranteed. Peggy does a fantastic job with my cuts and blow dries. She takes all the time necessary to get it just right, a real perfectionist! I constantly get compliments on my hair and happily refer friends and family to this salon. I simply cannot recommend it highly enough.

Sara Haynes

Absolutely love Elevate! Jessica is a master at her craft! 😊 Thank you! …

nicky donnan

I got my hair cut and colored by Nicole. She did an awesome job. It is very easy to schedule an appointment and I received a courtesy reminder call of my appointment a couple days before my scheduled date. Nicole was very professional and polite with her services, as was the entire staff. They are definitely kid friendly as my two younger children waited for me in lounge area. I received compliments from a lot of the staff on how well behaved my children were and they had no absolute problem with them being there. I am usually very picky on who touches my hair and I definitely would recommend Nicole to anyone, she did a great job and knew exactly what I wanted done to my hair. She is very well knowledgeable on how to up keep a person's hair. Thanks Nicole!

Myria Coure

I recently went to the salon for the 1st time. Tee did a deva cut on my hair and it turned out nice. However let me tell you, I went back a couple of days later for a full set of highlights and Paul did his thing. I left there feeling confident and loving my hair again. I couldn't see any of my grays and my highlights were flawless. Paul is very knowledgeable and educated with anything relating to hair in general. He makes sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you want and he makes sure he gives you exactly that. We already discussed my Fall color and I cant wait to see what he can do next. If you want color, kindness, respect, and compassion than Paul is your man. You will not be disappointed at all.

Vicky Savage

Wow! Can't say enough good things about the Barbara Forgione Salon! Barbara has been doing my color for more than ten years. I always get wonderful compliments. She's the best colorist in Tampa, bar none! Vicky does my cut and also cuts my son's hair. She always gets it just right! The atmosphere is friendly and fun. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Claudia David

This salon is now owned and operated by my favorite stylist Jessica. It's a beautiful location with amazing service at fair prices. I get my cut, color and style there and hopefully very soon hair extensions. I recommend anyone who is looking for a great stylist, colorist, etc. To go to Forgione Salon.

Meghan Puckett

I had my hair done by Tuya today and it was not only a great cut but a great experience! So much fun changing my look up with a great curly cut- it was done with professional technique both cut and color, looks great and bonus shes just so fun to be around. Will be back :)

Nathan Burrows

This place was really great. Well worth the 45 minute drive. I'm a guy with very thick curly hair and have always had trouble finding a hair stylist that would cut my hair the way that i want it to. Very friendly people, in a clean, relaxing salon. Sarah was my stylist and I was very pleased with the way that she handled my very difficult hair. I would definitely recommend her and this salon to someone else with curly hair.

paula gutierrez

I got my hair cut at Barbara Forgione Salon for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I got a Deva cut by Maggie and she was the sweetest. She was very knowledgeable and willing to share tips on how to take better care of my curls. I would deff go see her again, and I'd highly recommend this place !

Bárbara Nicole Dyer Seijas Black

I had my first appointment here about a week ago with Sarah. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful and Sarah was amazing and very funny. She really tries to find out what you like to hold a conversation. I got a cut and color that came out perfectly and turned my dead, overgrown hair into a sleek style and i'm still in love with. Best part is I didn't feel overcharged at the end of it. I definitely recommend this place for anybody looking to get a total hair transformation in a positive, clean, funny and friendly environment.

Rebecca

I highly recommend this salon to anyone, especially if you have curly hair. I spent a lot of time trying to find a stylist in Tampa who can affordable cut and hilight my blond curly hair. I found Barbara through the Devacurl website and she went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did my hair turn out fabulous but I also had a great time chatting with Tee and Barbara about books, life and curls. I will never get my hair done anywhere in Tampa. This salon is affordable and amazing. The best parts that the color looks fresh months after it was colored. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Sarah Mosley

NICOLE is an amazing stylist, she gave me a diva cut and it has literally changed everything about my hair. My curls (that I had been relaxing for 17 years) came to life. My hair is SO much faster to do in the mornings, and it is so much healthier. The products she recommended for me have helped repair the damage I have done over the years. The salon was clean, all the girls were friendly, but I will DEFINITELY be returning for Nicole.

Barbara Izzi

Outstanding in her field, Barbara Forgione, the owner of Barbara Forgione Salon is an expert in color and care of hair. She is an expert in selecting the correct color for her clients and delivering expert service. Her shoppe has many talented personnel, Vicki, and Peggy are two that I have experienced over the several years I have been coming to the shoppe. I have also gone to Cassandra and Sarah. It is very comfortable to move around with different stylist to accommodate mine and their schedules. All of them offer professional services and delightful personalities. I am very confident to recommend Barbara Forgione's operation to anyone that desires personal and caring attention for improving their "look" and style. She is creative! Give her a try!

Colleen McGarvey

I can't say enough good things about my experience here with Paul! I have very curly hair and this was my first deva cut, and he did so amazing. Hands down, my best hair cut ever. I was seriously sad because my hair had become so unmanageable, but Paul changed everything! This really meant a lot to me and I can honestly say he has a client for life, in fact I go back this week for my color, can't wait. Thank you so much Paul, and you are such a joy, see you soon!

Kelli S.

I was one of those people that hated getting my haircut. I put it off for as long as possible, sometimes going years between cuts. I have curly hair and most hairdressers just do not know how to cut my hair and I end up with a cut that I hate. But ever since I found Peggy at Barbara Forgione's salon I have been coming somewhat regularly (bad habits die hard)! They do the Deva cut and if it's your first time using Deva Curl products they will show you how to properly style your hair. My locs look a lot healthier ever since I started coming here! The only downfall is the price, but honestly to feel confident and have great looking hair is worth the price. Plus I keep my curls fairly long so they recommend only coming in every 10-12 weeks, which cuts down on that cost.

Michelle Bremer

I have been coming to Barbara Forgione Salon for many years. I have a short, edgy hairstyle and my stylist Maggie Flanagan is very talented. She's highly trained and her skills are impressive... she's meticulous and has an amazing eye for detail. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

L A

OK. I have tried multiple locations for my daughters. Most places they seem to have an seriously perturbed that you are bothering them. Especially if you didn't make an appointment three years ago. However, this place was a welcome exception. 1) Lots of qualified professionals so it was easy to get an appointment 2) They specializing in curly hair, they know how to do more than just flat iron and style. 3). They made my girls feel welcome and everyone had a positive attitude and were very polite and friendly. Offered drinks, snacks, and other things to make my weight more convenient. Best of all its in South Tampa so I didn't have to drive all over creation.

Jessica Ross

Best hair cut I’ve ever gotten, highly recommend!!

Natasha Ross

Barbara is simply amazing! She done a color correction on a very bad color that I had recently received from another salon... I had been walking around embarrassed for the past week, trying to hide my orangish/red, strawberry blonde mess every time I left the house. When I had noticed on fb that a friend of mine had bragged on this salon, I decided to check the other reviews... after seeing so much positive feedback and photos of so many beautiful hair colors, color corrections and everything else hair related, I immediately gave Barbara a call and she was able to get me in the very next day! I'm no longer embarrassed or have to try and hide my hair to go out in public, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Peggy was great too, she gave the best blow out and style that I've sever received at any salon. I can't remember the lady's name that was doing a Diva Curl service, but her client's hair was BEAUTIFUL!! Nor can I remember the sweet lady's name that worked up front and took the before and after photos, but she was super sweet and vey helpful! I'm happy to have FINALLY found someone for my color and hair care services!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! Thank you again SO MUCH: Barbara, Peggy and the rest of the beautiful ladies that are a part of this team....

Jordan Bowman

I had my 1st ever diva curl cut and color done by Maggie. She was very personable and funny, and did an amazing job on my hair. I have alot of hair and she cut and colored beautifully. When I didn't like how the 1st color came out she went over it until I was happy with the reults. I was very pleased and will definitely go back and recommend to all. Great environment, wonderful staff. 😄👐

Marcia Burke

Barbara continuously offers amazing color! I started going to Barbara with dry straw like hair that I couldn't grow out no matter how hard I tried. She quickly got my hair under control and it is now long, healthy and beautifully colored! She is the BEST I've found in the 15 years I've been in FL!

Martha Serrano

I went in for a cut and color by Sarah to go back to my dark brown hair ( I had a lighter caramel color and my roots were way grown out) she also added a slightly lighter color for a natural sombre look. I think she did a good job BUT in no way do I think it was worth $245!!! I do have long hair and it is slightly thick but I know I could have gone somewhere else for a lot less or gone to a high end salon.

Jessica Riera

I found Barbara Forgione Salon on Instagram when I was searching for a DevaCut specialist in Tampa. This was my first DevaCut and I was a little worried because lots of curly girls have stated that the first cut is never good but I was beyond ecstatic with my cut. Deborah did such an amazing job with my hair. Her fingers must be magic! She is super personable, knowledgeable about curly hair and so helpful in every step of the way. She talked through it all and didn't leave me wondering what she was doing. I really appreciate that kind of service. Some stylists will just start cutting and styling without letting you know what and why they're doing something. Deborah is very knowledgeable when it comes to the DevaCurl products. She knew exactly what was good for my hair type and recommended some products. I was already expecting to be pushed into buying products but they did not do that. She took me to the products to educate me on the products I should be using and what ingredients were in them and what I should not use. She even helped me to figure out the products and techniques I should use on my curly girl daughters who have different hair types than me. I can't say enough how amazing my experience was. Can't wait to go back. Deborah is my new BFF! :)

Christine Crespo

So happy with my new haircut! My stylist is Maggie and she just did such an amazing job with my hair. Before the haircut my hair was almost mid back length, weighted down and my ends were in horrible condition. Not to mention I have very thin hair and alopecia, so you can always see my scalp especially in the top front of my head. I was skeptical this haircut and style would actually be able to hide the alopecia and make my curls look lustrous and full. Maggie worked her awesome magic, spent 2 whole hours with me walking me through the products, styling steps and general curly hair care info. She really took her time and put a lot of love and care into my hair. I just moved to tampa and feel so lucky to have found my forever stylist on the first try! MAGGIE FO' LIFE <3!!!

Westlake Carolyn

Peggy is a true artist. If you have curly hair Peggy will make it look fantastic. I was concerned at first when I was told they would cut my hair dry, but, I was happily surprised with the outcome. I was never in love with any of my previous hair cuts. I LOVE this haircut.

Gretl Benischek

Barbara Forgione is the only full service salon in Tampa that is certified to do Yuko Hair Straightening. That says so much right there since it is the best hair straightening system. Barbara has done my Yuko method twice and I just love her. I am from Los Angeles so I have been to a lot of salons. Barbara's salon is so laid back and professional at the same time. My hair gets compliments all the time and she does the Yuko just as good as the salon I went to in Beverly Hills. I highly recommend Barbara Forgione salon if you want your hair done right the first time.

Christina Martinez

Maggie was absolutely AMAZING! She gave me a deva cut and really helped me understand what my hair needed and what products would work best. My hair feels amazing and I have never had curls this defined. She's my new best friend!

Jennifer K

I love this salon! I have been coming to Barbara’s salon for over 10 years. She has picked a talented group of stylists and in addition to working with Barbara, I had the opportunity of working with many of them, especially Peggy, Sarah and Jai who are wonderful! Barbara is the best in town when it comes to color and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. I highly recommend this salon!

Crystal Bresnahan

Pretty pricy but I got a keratin treatment from Sara and my hair is so much easier to maintain and I'm much better shape!

Kristin Riggs

Love love love! They were great! I will definitely be coming back!

Lea Lametta

Barbara has been doing my color for 16 years. I am extremely particular and Barbara always makes sure my hair is exactly the way I want it. I made the mistake of going to a salon in New York City while visiting family and not only did I pay 3x the amount I was used to, but was beyond disappointed with the results. The minute I returned to Tampa, I went straight to Barbara's salon and she was able to fix the damage that was done. Not only did I learn a valuable lesson (which to not let anyone else touch my hair), but also realized the extent of Barbara's knowledge and attention to detail could not be matched. Now living bicoastal, part time in Tampa and part time in California, I still will not go to another salon even if my color desperately needs it (I have even worn a hat when my schedule did not allow me to get to Tampa fast enough and my roots were embarrassingly in need of a touch up). I am asked frequently where I get my hair done and although the people living in California are disappointed when I tell them, I have referred many friends in Tampa to Barbara... all of whom continue to be regulars at the salon. I could not speak highly enough of Barbara, Jai, and the amazing team they have put together.

Pamela Allison

I have been going to Barbara Forgione's Salon for over ten years. She is an artist with color. She also does the new vivid colors or streaks - bright red, blues, purples, etc. And the color lasts at least six weeks at the same vivid hue. I see so many young people with hair color that, after 1 week, looks faded and their hair brittle. I so want to tell them to go to Barbara's salon, but telling them their hair looks brittle and faded is not nice. But I can write a review and say "for healthy hair with beautiful color, natural or jewel tones, visit Barbara Forgione's Salon in South Tampa!"

Valerie Rodriguez

After consulting with Nicole she suggested that I get the deva curl cut because I wanted to revive my curls since I damaged my hair from heat and after cutting it and using the deva curl products my hair is curlier and has a soft shine. I can now wear my hair natural without the use of heat products. I would definitely recommend Nicole for your Deva Curl needs!

Deepa S

My first time visiting this salon. I got a layer cut from Sarah and it came out perfect!! I definitely would recommend Sarah to anyone , she did a great job and knew exactly what I wanted done to my hair.

Patricia Cella

As a new customer I went in for a haircut with an appointment set with Nicole. I am a curly so Nicole suggested a deva cut and it has made such a difference in managing my normally unruly hair. I have since been back for another cut and color and again had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this salon and Nicole.

L. Robert

I got the best Deva Cut I have ever gotten in FL. Deb was wonderful, sweet, educated in curly hair and made me feel so confident. She did an amazing job and the price was very reasonable.

Judith Venit

Brandi did the best curly cut I’ve ever had! She made my dull, lank hair look like a Diva!

Alex Johnson

Wonderful experience! I live in DC but whenever I come back to Tampa I make sure to get my hair done here. I've had it cut here and I get my Yuko straightening done here every time. I will not go anywhere else.

Ginny Moran

Barbara is excellent, she corrected my color giving beautiful and natural highlights! She worked with professionalism and exact knowledge of her trade. I am new to the Tampa area and I agree......Barbara is the best!

Kayla C

Maggie was great. She really knows how to take care of curls. She was so patient with my thick curly hair. Would totally recommend !

Sarah Baker

If you're thinking about getting your hair done at Barbara Forgione Salon - think no more and JUST DO IT! I came here to get a color correction and Sara did my hair wonders! Seriously - I went from being embarrassed of wearing my hair down to wanting to flaunt it around town. The salon is also professional, super tidy and COVID safe. The owner, Jessica, was also in the salon during my visit and she is as sweet as can be. Sara also took a before and after of my hair so I'm attaching that here as well for proof of seriously the major difference that was made in my two hour visit.

Venessa Boccio

Sarah is an amazing stylist. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. My layers look beautiful. Highly recommend this salon!

Robert Anthony Camacho

Maggie is absolutely incredible.... men's hair, all scissors. She was professionally trained at Vidal Sassoon in London so yea... she knows what she's doing.

Camryn Hatch

I got a super cute deva cut from Jessica today! My curls look so much more defined and the cut suits me really well!

Sweet Songs Breastfeeding

I ADORE my DevaCut! I highly recommend this salon! Professional, experienced and very knowledgeable about all kinds of curly hair.

Sagly Sanchez

Second time there and the attention is A+ thanks to Paul for the incredibly work that He did on my hair, and all his tips, I really appreciate it and am so happy, my hair looks so great with my new color, Thank You Paul

Peak Reputation

Best hair color ever. Also those Colour Bunz are amazingly easy to use for home touch ups. I would definitely recommend this salon.

Jane Delo

As a native Tampanian, I've been to so many places to find the perfect cut and color. This is the place! Every staff member is wonderful and their attention to detail is second to none.

Kayla O

Love this place Jess takes her time with you to really get you cut to be right for you! Has late day appointments which helps when you cant get there during the day.
