Very poor communication. I ran 9 minutes late to my haircut appointment and after being asked to wait 10 minutes in their waiting area, a staff member came to tell me that the stylist couldn’t see me because I was late. If this were the case, this should have been communicated to me when I arrived, not after waiting for 10 minutes.Also, this would have been a new stylist for me because the one I used to see regularly moved salons. I was not notified about this change until I called to make an appointment.I will not return to this salon.
Jennifer did an amazing no chip pedicure! The owner even came over and said hello and made sure I was enjoying my service. The place was so clean and the color options were so pretty! They even explained to me how their nail care line is a good option for my specific nails, I was experiencing some dehydration. I feel so pampered! Thank you Forbici!
Wanted to try a new salon so I picked this place. Turns out, I am so glad I did. This place wa clean and inviting! My hair dresser, Kristy, was so incredibly friendly, She was also very patient She definitely took the time to understand what I wanted and went above-and-beyond to make sure I was happy with the end result! I look forward to coming back!!
Absolutely impressive! Thats the first word that came to mind when I stepped into the salon for the first time. Ive walked past the front door hundreds of times visiting different downtown Arlington Hts establishments but never Forbici....until last week.I was blown away (no pun intended) with the safety measures they developed to protect both the staff and customers-other salons should take a cue from them! Since it was my first time in the salon I was given a tour-WOW! One can certainly tell a lot of thought and detail was put into its development. From the hair, to make-up areas, mani/pedi to the spa rooms, all beautiful and relaxing!I received a full highlight with a touch of color and a cut. I have never had a stylist be so particular with the color - AND I LOVE IT!! The cut/color was exactly what I wanted-I will definitely be going back! Im looking forward to trying out the other services they offer-particularly the SPA!!If your looking for a new place for hair you will NOT be disappointed! I couldnt be happier with the service I received!! Forbici see you in 5 weeks!!! OR SOONER!! :)
I just got home from getting a deep tissue massage at Forbici Salon. This was HANDS DOWN the best massage I have ever gotten- I had to immediately write a review to recommend this place to everyone! My masseuse was Diane. She was very welcoming, personable, and you could really tell that she wanted you to genuinely enjoy your time there. The service was great at the front desk as well. Everyone makes you feel very welcomed and special. I will definitely be returning there and recommend it for everyone!
The staff is so helpful and welcoming and I love my hair stylist, Christa, whom I followed years ago from another salon. Barbara is just as sweet and a fantastic nail technician and friend. Elena is phenomenal at skin care and has a very gentle demeanor about her; so kind. Everyone seems to love working for the owner, Jackie, and I think shes wonderful; feels like home there.
I am so thrilled with the cut, color and style I received at this salon. It was definitely the best I have ever had. The peaceful atmosphere was simply a bonus. Coloring my roots, and then applying in highlights, and low lights throughout my hair, can be challenging but it came out PERFECT!! I highly recommend this place!
I have always been happy with Forbici service. Jackie, the manager is great! When things do not go perfectly she goes out of her way to make it right. My stylist, Elle, fell in love and moved to Colorado to pursue her dreams. I am happy for her, but miss her great service. She made sure I got a new stylist. Sandra is very talented and tries hard to please.Cannotask for anything more.
Editing my 5 star review to a 1 star. After being a loyal customer of your establishment for the past 7 years. Sadly, I will never step foot in your salon again. I cannot support a business that publicly shames and wrongfully terminates innocent employees while manipulating the situation to make their business look better. I also cannot support a business that uses a national crisis to line their pockets.
I have been going to Forbicis for close to a decade for multiple services. Each and every time I have received excellent, professional treatment. That professionalism has only increased since COVID protocols have been enacted. This is a place that keeps you safe and follows stringent procedures. I have never been disappointed!
For color, highlights, and lowlights - the experience at Forbici is unmatched.After 25 years of various color treatments I thought I knew everything. At Forbici it is clear that they are focused on the individual. April introduced me to a color method that not only looked amazing but saved me money in the annual process! The environment is very professional, clean and I never feel rushed. I have now sent my daughter there as well. Need I say more?If you have not checked out Forbici Salon and Spa yet...book an appointment today! You will not be disappointed.
This is overall a great spot for hair and spa services. I have been a client for several years and frequently recommend Forbici Salon & Spa to my friends and family. Jackie Lewis is a hands -on owner. I have worked with Jackie and her staff, who are pros in what they do and also keeps current with trends. They are knowledgable, professional and very friendly, creating a positive experience. Worth the visit to downtown Arlington Heights.I’m going to update my review with some recent photos of my last visit with Doni. Doni has helped my hair health and colors and cuts to get it right. I have a crazy schedule sometimes so I have used quite a few different stylists. I personally can recommend Doni, Lisa, April, Nicole, and they are all knowledgeable and skilled. Trisha is my favorite for facials. Pamper yourself at this salon. It is worth it.
Always a pleasure to go to Forbicci Salon. From the minute you walk in you are made to feel taken care of. Dawn does my nails and Suzanne does my hair. Both are awesome. Everyone really has great knowledge of hair,nails,and skin. Your worth way more stars than five! Thanks for making me feel good about myself.
Huge Thank You To My Stylist Jasmine Always Does A Fantastic Job. She’s A Professional And Knows What She Does. Went In For A Haircut Yesterday And The Work She Did Was Super. Totally Loved The Way It Was Cut So To Anyone Around The Area Or To Anyone Who Needs A Haircut I Totally Recommend You Ask For Jasmine 💯💯💯
Client for many years, then my Stylist left .. today I had appointment with Nicole she did terrible job left me with color For over 48 minutes . Then I watched how she is doing other lady hair … basically Terrible experience and to make it even worse manager calls me trying to explain me how she didn’t do anything wrong and I have a much darker roots terrible please don’t go to lady Nicole
I had been following this salon on IG for about a month since I had an upcoming trip to IL. I decided to cancel my appointment as their political views are widely visible. They had publicly shamed an employee for expressing opposing views. It seems pretty disrespectful, as a company, to do this. I feel alienated as a client, and I would hate to be treated poorly because I do not agree with their views.Ill just not go in. No, thank you.
Staff was overall friendly enough, showed me around the salon, made me feel comfortable. My pedicure was ok but I noticed after I left that polish was smeared on my cuticles on the sides of the skin on my toes. My no chip was terrible. I had gel polish all over my cuticles and skin and the polish had dried my skin to my nails. I had to go home and clean it all up. I ended up taking it off a couple days later because it started lifting from four or five different spots on different fingers because it had been fused to my cuticles. So, beware. I dont recommend this salon for pedicures or manicures. I probably wouldnt visit again to get any other services, because I would be leery, but this was my experience.
Dated salon and stylists, owner is knows in the neighborhood to have an extremely harsh bullying personality. Majority styles seen remind me of Steel Magnolia movie. The chairs at wash sinks are old, broken arms, super uncomfortable and the water is frigid, not relaxing! My stylist kept taking breaks to brag about how much she loves to drink beer and she doesnt care that she is the mom that looks frazzled taking her daughter to school every morning while she is still in pajamas. Poor kid! YIKES!
I’ve been getting my hair done by Rachel for the past six years and always love the results, my hair has never looked better or been healthier thanks to her knowledge and skill!The rest of the staff from the front desk to shampoo-ers have always been so welcoming and kind. The overall service at the salon is wonderful and I always feel like a valued guest.
Gentlemen, all I can say is that I have never received more compliments about a haircut like I did after coming here. I would highly recommend Joana if you’re trying to look for a new hairstyle. Her service is the result of a great work environment provided from Jackie Lewis the operating owner.
I have been going to Forbici for years , Jordyn is my go to girl. She is amazing at everything she does, highlights,cut,color and the best pedi I have ever had! when she washes my hair I get this wonderful scalp massage and she will wax my eyebrows while Im deep conditioning My sister and I had a wedding to go to and I had my hair done the day before, Im sitting in the car outside the salon waiting to pick my sis up, ( who also sees Jordyn) and here comes Jordyn with a comb and some spritz to fluff me up. I mean where esle can you get that kind of service! Jordyn has taught me so much about my hair, what colors look best with MY skin color or the cut that goes best with my face shape. she talks me through it on how to style my hair as she does it. She recommends the products that work best with my hair without beening pushy, but remember you cant do what she does if you dont use what she uses. I highly recommend Forbici and Jordyn she is not only my hair stylist and therapist ( shes a great listener ) but shes a new friend that I made at Forbici. THANKS JORDYN!!!
Yesterday I experienced an astonishing response by a client taking my jacket. the salon called the lady her name is Nancy she didn’t think that she needed to return the jacket she seemed to be very happy with my new Northface jacket and she left this dirty White gray (my is Snow White) jacket hanging for me ? NOT!! I must agree with her, I would prefer the new Northface jacket, however, there’s another minor problem with her not admitting itsNot your jacket, therewere black gloves in the jacket and maybe one of my pups potty bags. I would think at some point you would know that jacket isn’t yours and you would return it and you wouldn’t wait until Saturday. So I went home without a jacket in the cold bc I wasn’t about to wear an unwashed Columbia jacket
This place is the best of Chicago and very friendly lm so happy whit my color hair she make a good job l was embarrassing whit my hairs lol 👒💇🏼💆🏼🙍🏼🙆🙆😼🙀 but thank God l feel another woman she do the best color hair for me she is amazing l will recommend this salon !

2022-06-07The salon is so clean+pretty and it was recently remodeled so it’s extra nice. The staff is friendly, you’ll be offered water/coffee/etc. I get my hair done by Rachel & I would definitely recommend her! She’s so talented & I always have a confidence boost after having my hair done here.

2022-05-06I took my daughter to Forbici for a deva cut with Stephanie. I never had a better experience at a salon than I did here! Stephanie was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She took her time to explain everything - from how to treat curly hair, products, styling, refreshing… the list goes on and on. There were several other clients there that popped over to say how amazing Stephanie was at explaining everything. My daughter came out looking great and her curls look and feel loved! I will definitely be going back and for myself too!

2022-07-25Morgan did great! Wow, absolutely amazed by this place. I went to a few other salons before this, and they really really did not do a good job with my hair. I really wanted to see a difference. This place delivered. This place did a great job. I had lovely color work done by Morgan. Very professional and skilled in her craft.

2021-10-19I have been coming to this salon for many years after following my stylist, Kathryn, from another salon in the area (I highly recommend Kathryn as your hair stylist). The salon is clean and their shampoo bowls have a cushion by your neck which makes it so comfortable! The bowls at other salons didn’t have that and got uncomfortable.As previously stated, I specifically recommend kathryn as your stylist. I moved to Texas over a year ago but still fly back to IL every 3-4 months to get my hair done by Kathryn. While that sounds over the top, She has perfected my hair cut and her color services are hard to beat. I tried one stylist in Texas and was disappointed by the color service. Plus, I paid twice as much for a service I didn’t love, therefore the plane ticket is worth it to me (and I fit in visits with friends while there to help justify the trip haha). Side note; Kathryn always remembers where I part my hair which makes me feel valued and remembered! It’s the little things that make a difference.

2022-08-10Staff is friendly. Acoustics are terrible so if youre hearing impaired like me, you will have more trouble than you might already be anticipating. For a place that markets itself as a salon and spa, youd think there would be better ventilation. My eyes were burning the entire time from all of the bleach in the area. Pricing seems on par with the area. Great location right near a parking structure and easily walkable restaurants if you want to make a day of it.

2021-11-10I’ve been coming to Forbici for a few years now, all the hair stylists have been great. Specifically, Kathryn, Jane and I now go to Gina. Gina has been wonderful. My first appointment with her, she cut my bangs the exact way I pictured/explained them, even though I was nervous for a change, they came out ideal. This past week she listened to what color blonde I wanted my highlights, & dark brown low lights, it came out perfectly just as I imagined it. Will be returning!

2022-02-17I came to forbici for highlights and a haircut, and i’m pretty happy with how the highlights turned out, though i don’t know if they were worth the price. what i am most upset about is the “cut and style” i received. i asked my stylist to cut three or four inches off and she only trimmed half an inch off, an inch at most (i would’ve asked her to cut more but the appointment took way longer than i expected and i didn’t have time). she then asked me how i wanted it styled and i told her she didn’t have to style it, i was happy with it just how it was. the stylist then pressured me into letter her “run a straightener through it” even though i knew i could easily do that at home for free. this is why i was shocked and furious when i looked at my receipt, i was charged $62 for “cut and style”, in addition to the highlights. she barely cut my hair at all and i didn’t want her to style it. plus, later that day i ended up cutting a couple inches off myself because i was unsatisfied with the length, so that was sixty two dollars straight down the drain. moral of the story, only go to forbici if you’re independently wealthy or a trust fund kid.
