Great overall

I think this is the first time in a long time that I'm going to go to the same person twice! Marty cut and highlighted my hair. She used techniques that I've never had done before, even when spending over $250! And she charged only half that price! I've gotten a lot of compliments on her work. It certainly wasn't the stuffy salon I expected. I liked that her children worked there with her and that their friends came in to get their hair done. My only complaint was that it took a lot longer than I was used to, but I'll just have to plan accordingly next time.

I'm through with salon-hopping

Marty at Forbici is exactly what I was searching for - an "intuitive" stylist; one who can look at your face and hair type and give you the most flattering cut, while always making sure that it is what you really want. I have never gone to the same salon as long as I have been going to Forbici's (7 years), but now that I've found Marty - what a relief! My salon-hopping days are over. And all this with the bonus of being able to relax in non-pretentious, comfortable surroundings. At Forbici's, you won't find the chrome and glitter of a big name salon - just the talent.

refreshing salon

What a breath of fresh air Forbici is! In the middle of all the high-priced, high-attitude salons in the snootiest parts of the city of Atlanta, there is Forbici, like a cool breeze in the midst of a heat wave. From the time you walk in, you realize that this family-owned hair salon is different from the rest. I immediately felt welcome as soon as I walked in - somehow they managed to put me right at ease, whereas most of the time in salons I feel like everyone is sizing me up. Mattie Kennedy cut my hair - she apprenticed under her mom Marty Kennedy(the owner) for four years before taking her own clients. The thing that I appreciated about Mattie is that she actually listened to me (!!!), didn't do what I didn't want her to do, and politely asked before doing anything that she thought I might object to. She gave me several styling tips all throughout the appointment - you can tell she has plenty of experience in the salon industry, even though she considers herself a "junior" stylist. Believe me, I've experienced junior stylists who charge more, have more attitude, and have less knowledge about hair than she does. Although she only makes evening appointments, she seems dedicated to making her clients happy. My first experience at Forbici can be summed up by saying it was a warm, homey experience with people who seem to really be invested in their business and in you.

I love my hair cut

This evening I had my hair cut at Forbici for the first time. They�re conveniently located in Decatur, they were ready for me when I arrived, Marty listened to what I wanted and made some great suggestions. I could not be happier with my hair cut.

Forbici Forever!!!

I have been a customer for many years. Marty is an excellent hairdresser. The atmosphere at the shop is casual and friendly. The location is great, parking easy, the prices are reasonable, & I always have fun when I'm there. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Her daughter Maddie also works there and she is terrific too.
