    I have had nothing but good experiences at Helm. The stylists are friendly, skilled, and communicative. I have gotten haircuts from 3 different stylists at this point and all have done a good job. Owner does cuts and coloring for my gf and she does an awesome job everytime. Would and do recommend this place. Definitely worth it.

    Kelli Jo is low key and high cool. She's a steady source of great styles for my generally bobbed, straight (but aspirationally curly) hair. She has done regular routine cuts for me the past few years as well as a wedding styling which worked out fabulously. I highly recommend a visit to Kelli.

    I have been going to Kelli for years and she is the BEST! She helps make my visions come to life. I have been platinum blonde to dark brunette all by Kelli’s masterful work. Her work is always so natural yet feels so fresh and modern. Look no further for your next stylist!
