STYLIST TESTIMONIALS

I love working at FORWARD. because the community, the trust, the culture, and the friendships. If anyone needs anything or has any question we rally as a team to help each other. We enjoy friendly competition, but that is as far as competition goes in the salon. All good natured. When I revealed I was pregnant, the owners fully supported me and said let us know what you need and come back when you are ready. That type of freedom snd flexibility is rare in the workforce and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

-Kristi Hartstein, Level 4 Stylist

I love working at FORWARD. because of the great women I work with- I had no idea I had room for this many sisters. I also love the area we’re in. We have great restaurants around us, and the neighborhoods that have watched each and every single stylist watch us grow and always letting us know that we’re loved.

-Gavin Valentine, Level 2 Stylist
