Where is the Best Spa in Tampa, Florida?
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 not
I LOVE this place! Corinne did my blond highlights and they turned out amazing! She totally listened to what I wanted, talked me out of doing something I would have hated, and the color manages to both look natural and have a lot of spark. I am so happy with the results! My hair was very drab and needed a major color correction from past jobs gone bad. She is sooo nice. The whole place. Very good energy and vibe, none of that snotty attitude from other upscale salons. She cut my hair and I love that too. Again, she LISTENED to what I like and don’t like, and gave me exactly what I wanted. None of this walking out with layers or pieces too short to ever pull back type of thing that causes you to cry for days after a haircut. Let me tell you, it is those cheap salons that completely ruined my color and it’s never been right since. This is the first time I have walked out of a salon happy in about 5 years in this city. And given how nice and positive everyone was, I’m sure I’ll go back!
First time seeing Monica, and overall very impressed. Haircut was great (she gave me the exact bangs I asked for), and although the highlights did not go as planned, I was very pleased with the way she handled the situation. My hair turned out to be a bit more damaged than either one of us realized (from another stylist’s botched job and my own wizardry with a box of Clairol) so the highlights and color simply didn’t take properly and I was not happy with the results. She agreed with me, explained what had happened and apologized for not realizing sooner that my hair was so damaged. She explained that with the condition my hair was in, bleach, the only solution to removing the botched color I walked in with, would be too damaging to my hair, and suggested coloring my hair an all-over dark brown. I agreed, and the result was great–very pretty chocolate brown and my hair now looks really shiny & healthy. I thought Monica was very personable, and liked the way she explained every
I found the spa on a google search and the name is what sold me on them rather then the other spas. I called them up to set up my appointment, very lovely and professional voice mail and a prompt call back too.From where I was staying it was actually not fair either, so that?s and other plus for the locals or anyone staying in Largo or Clearwater.They have a nice small and some what deceiving store front, but when you walk in that door its a quiet and cool reception area, nice neutral earth tones to help set you in the relaxing mood along with happy and smiling employees. They offer tea or water too while you wait and after your massage too. Served in surprisingly nice glass wears too (I was impressed at least).Now down to business. The massage was excellent. So great that I actually went back on my last day and got another one before my flight home and that was even better then the first time. My massage theorist was AWSOME! She was better then my theorist that I had up here and
I paid a visit to Glow on a referral from a few friends. I called last minute for a manicure and pedicure for an up coming wedding I was in. The receptionist was very friendly and apologized that they were booked , to my suprise she actually offered to ask the technician to stay late for me but unfortunately the time did not work for me so she said she would be happy to put me on a wait list. I figured I would never be called but fortunately they called me the next day with a cancellation ( great customer service). My pedicure was outstanding in every way. I was blown away by the attention to detail not only in my pedicure,which by the way was beyond luxurious but throughout the entire spa. The space itself is beautifully appointed and the boutique was refreshingly unique and filled with great clothing and gift ideas. I immediately made my next appointment for a facial( which I hear are fabulous) and massage. I’m looking forward to my next visit, can’t wait! Pros + Frie
