South Tampa’s Best Hair Salon
DevaCurl, Hair Extensions & Color Experts
Barbara Forgione was the founder of the original Barbara Forgione boutique salon back in 2006. Her achievements included being nationally recognized including being featured in ‘Hot in My Salon’ video series of the top 100 trendy salons in the USA, appearing on MTV’s “Made” and TLC’s ’The Makeover Story,’ voted South Tampa’s Best Kept Secret and South Tampa’s Best Salon.
In 2019 the salon was acquired by a new owner, but still provides the best in DevaCurl, hair extensions, hair color, cuts, Keratin treatments and more.
In late 2019, the entire salon was completely remodeled and in July of 2021 we launched our new brand, Elevate Hair Salon. The Elevate brand offers our South Tampa clientele more products and services including our own brand of hair extensions.

What Our Clients Say
Although we are new to South Tampa, we aren’t new to the salon industry. Learn what our clients say about working with us.
“I just love Jessica. She’s a fantastic color specialist and hair dresser. She listens to my wants and needs and makes it work as best she can. I’m older so she takes that into consideration too. One day I’m going to say just do it. Do what you think would make me prettier and happier. I need to take risks and come out of my shell. She’s the one who can and will make this happen. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment!!”

“I’ve been going to Jessica for almost 10 years. I have never had a bad experience. She’s amazing with color and knows exactly what to recommend for my face shape and complexion. Highly recommend!!! I’ll keep going to see Jessica as long as she’s doing hair!”
Nicole B.
“Jessica is fabulous and saved my hair! I came to her with damaged hair and a color I wasn’t really a fan of- she has gotten my hair restored and the color perfect. She always makes you feel welcome and pays close attention to detail. She’s the best!”
