The girls are so open to accommodating whatever style you like and being flexible if you want to change it up. This team of women came ON SITE to my wedding ceremony. They were there on time and ready to go! I had a bridal party of 5 girls, my mother in law, and myself and everyone looked flawless. The airbrush makeup was such a clean and beautiful look, I felt stunning with every blotch and blemish completely invisible. I cannot say enough about how professional the entire staff was. They allowed me to feel relaxed and at ease during a hectic crazy time in the moments leading up to walking down the aisle. I am SO SO thankful to Forbici and their amazing staff for making my day so very special!!!

After a few bad experiences with hair styling in the area, I finally decided to give a new place a…read moretry when a friend showed up to dance class sporting a beautiful new do. I was pretty happy at first with my experience at Forbici, but after a second time visiting, I am not very impressed. My first experience at Forbici was nice. The owner, Kyla Johnson, was my stylist. She seemed genuinely interested in my wishes, and was very fun to talk to. I ended up with a fabulous haircut, even though the Side Swept Bangs that I had asked for turned into a simple, long-layered look. It turned out really great, so I couldn't complain at all. I had also asked for my thick hair to be thinned out a bit. Kyla, not being used to my hair yet, went mild on the thinning, which is better than taking too much or shaping it funny. Again, no complaint. The second time I went in, the salon was busy, and I waited for 15-20 minutes after my appointment time to be seated in the stylist's chair. The stylist then went back and forth between me and the woman who was there before me, seeming frustrated, tired, or overwhelmed, and definitely preoccupied. When I finally received a bit of personal attention, I asked more specifically for the fringe I had been looking for since my first visit, going so far as to bring an array of photographs of the style I wanted - including pictures of the style on me (I'd had them done a couple years ago) and on a variety of models and celebrities. What I ended up with was not attractive at all. I felt like I was not being heard - even with Photos of exactly what I wanted, and an explanation that I had gotten that style before (again - with photographic evidence!), I kept getting back "I can't really do that with the shape of your hairline." The bangs were a blunt cut - a boring unshaped change in the length of my hair. When I asked about a little more thinning this time round, I realized that the only thinning being done each time was down at the ends of my hair - not internally closer to my scalp, which I then asked for. Again I was told that my request was not something that could be done, even though I've had it done at three separate salons around the country. Two weeks after my last visit, I went to a different local salon and got exactly what I'd been asking for the whole time. I found, over all, that Forbici, while presenting a certain high level of class, falls very short when it comes to actual breadth of knowledge in style and technique.
