Paris Hilton calls on
South Tampa Stylist

Reported by Sarina Fazan
(abcactionnews.com)

Paris Hilton picks Barbara Forgione
for Super Bowl Parties.

 

TAMPA, FL --  When you walk into Barbara Forgione's South Tampa Salon you may walk into a life size cut out of Paris Hilton.

That's a gift that will stay right where it is after the salon owner's special encounter with the socialite turned celeb.

Barbara said she received a phone call the day before the Super Bowl from the stars personal assistant, to do a last minute style. But, Barbara had no idea who it was until she walked into the hotel room at the Hard Rock Casino.

"We got a phone call to do a VIP's hair. I was wondering who is this who could this be and then I recognized her and I just pulled myself together and said my daughter is never going to believe this. She just loves Paris Hilton," said Forgione.

Barbara said her stomach was doing somersaults! Paris personal assistant also gave her a forewarning.

"She said my client is very busy right now, I want to warn you she may not want to talk to you, she is very busy but don't take offense please. She is just very busy and I said no problem I do not have to talk."

But, Barbara said Paris initially seemed to have a lot on her mind but then warmed up quickly.

"She seemed very focused on getting ready and she seemed a little stressed and tried to pull things together. She was busy texting people."

Barbara said that it took about an hour to style the star's hair.

"She was adorable. We talked a little about the make-up of the sixties so we had fun doing that and later on we talked about hair products.

She is very interested in hair products and shiny hair. I talked about sulfate free shampoos, she wanted to know all about sulfates, what they are, what they do and it was great. "

Paris allowed her to choose the style and even this veteran hair stylist of more than 30 years said she was astonished to learn Paris is a natural blond.

"She is a blond and I was actually surprised by that to tell you the truth. When you see pictures there are shadows and I thought her hair was darker but she is a natural blond.

She has beautiful hair it is like angel hair it is very soft and nice to work with."

"Paris Hilton's pictures are all over so you kind of know what she likes. She likes something kind of sleek but full and sexy shiny. At the end I said what do you think?

She jumped up and she said I love my hair I love it and she kept flicking it and it was such a good feeling. She is just so pretty and dazzling. he just lit up and was so excited. That was it she gave me a big hug and said thank you."

There are photos of Barbara's now famous do captured on the red carpet for the Models and Bottles party during Super Bowl week. For Barbara it was an hour she will remember forever.

She doesn't even know how she was chosen, Paris reps said she was referred. Barbara can only guess it was from her well known hair stylists colleagues from New York. Whoever gave her the thumbs up, she is grateful.
