Helen does amazing work with my balayage brightening it up for summer or making it a little darker for winter, and the grow-out always looks super natural. Helen really takes the time to listen to what I want and gives helpful advice on what will look best and keep my hair healthy. Her haircuts are great too! Plus, she’s so fun and easy to talk to that my appointments fly by. I’m so glad I found her and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great stylist especially if you want natural highlights!
Helen gave me such a wonderful haircut experience! She really listened to what I wanted and absolutely delivered. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also took the time to teach me the best products and tools to use so I can achieve everyday good hair days at home. I’m so excited to see how my hair grows out with this cut. She’s easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and truly gifted at what she does. Highly recommend Helen if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows hair!
Helen is the sweetest and truly understands what it's like to have grey hair! I have tried a lot of stylists, even in different cities, and Helen instantly recognized what I would need with my hair. She recommended that I do a light root touch up first to blend the grow out, and come back to add low lights and highlights once it grows out more to make the grow out a lot less painful. She understood my skin undertones as well, and took that into account before her recommendation. Helen is also very transparent about pricing, which is really thoughtful. Loved my experience and my hair, will definitely be a regular 🎊🎊
