I have been coming here for years to see the lovely Dani Fant. The more I see her, the more she knows my hair– and me! But today she was magnificent. I had an urge to perm my hair(think Justin Timberlake circa 2001, but not really). I had mentioned this to her on the past couple of visits as my hair grew long enough. She went above and beyond to do it for me, even when my appointment slated for only a cut. Bravo! Excellent, superb service. Thank you :)

I’ve lived in the NoVA area since summer of 2010 and this is the first time I’ve been to the same stylist more than once. I found Nino through a Groupon actually because I was tried of trying different places that just didn’t work for me. At least the Groupon made it so I was trying new places for less out of pocket, but now I’ve found my place and no more trial and error! I know my hair better than anybody. It’s been with me my whole life, after all, but a lot of stylists believe that since they’ve had training, they know what’s best for me and my hair. Not true, and Nino really listened to what I had to say about what I liked, what I didn’t, what worked for my hair, what didn’t. The first time I walked out of the salon, I loved my hair style! And I never stopped loving it — that was the amazing part. That hasn’t happened for as long as I’ve lived here. I went back for coloring, which was another first. Trying to cover gray, it reached the point where I really needed to do the box color once a month. I felt like this might be hard on my hair and I really didn’t like having to make time for it. It’s too soon to tell how long this color will last, but I finally have an all over, even color and my hair is soft. Nino suggested a color that would work well with my skin and what I wanted(it seems most people like to lighten their hair, but that’s not me) and it looks much more natural than what I had been doing. When I go to the salon, I’ve watched the other stylists, too. They are all so friendly and seem very attentive to their customers. From the moment you walk in, the receptionist wants to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. For me, I’ve found my trusted salon and Nino is my go-to stylist for cut and color from now on.

I’ve been to see Azi twice. Both times she cut my hair using the Deva method and both times I have been disappointed by the results. I don’t think Azi takes into account the wet to dry shrinkage rate or the density of my hair when trimming. As a result the top layer of my hair is always significantly shorter then the rest of my hair, and I always end up with a «fringe» which would probably look great on someone with a more relaxed curl pattern but on me looks like a botched DIY bang job. I think the final thing that led to my dissatisfaction with my hair, is the amount of product that is loaded into it and marketed during the wash portion of my visit. I understand that part of her job as a stylist is to demonstrate how great Devacurl products can be and sell her clientele on the product but it can be overwhelming. I would suggest that the product pitch be tailored to your clients lifestyle. If I’m a low maintenance person who does wash and goes almost every day, don’t pitch me 5 different products that have to be used in a particular order. In total I’m going to give Michael Helene Salon 3 stars. 2 for the great customer service and 1 for the haircuts that I received.

Thank you Dawn and Michael for your excellent communication and dedication to making me happy. Ashley cut my hair free of charge and it is exactly what I wanted. It’s so hard to find business owners who care, and you guys knocked it out of the park. You have a loyal customer for life.

This was my third seeing Azi and she never disappoints. She always listens to your exact needs and wants and follows thru. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

This place reminds me of beauty school. Too many people r running around, they switch on a client all the time. Yes I know everyone needs to learn, but when they should not charge the full price like in a professional salon. The place is messy. I left there over $ 200 and not planing to go back. I got awful haircut and not even color. One star because I can not leave 0.

Elizabeth did my hair and I am going back for a second appointment. I think this is the first time in decades that I have not touched my own hair in between an appt — either cut my bangs, changed color, etc. Elizabeth did such a great job with my cut and color that I did not want to do anything to my own hair. We have a plan for the style I want too, and I trust her plan and expertise, so I don’t want to do anything to interfere with my having the exact style and color that I want. I am so happy I tried the salon and just lucky I got Elizabeth. Everyone else at the salon was wonderful too. Thank you

Had a great experience today at Michael Helene Salon. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. My stylist, Dani, did an excellent job with my super long, thick hair. She was very sweet and accommodating– I had some specific requests(like using minimal product in my hair) and she didn’t make me feel bad about it them all but rather, with a smile on her face, listened and honored my requests with no problems. The salon itself is clean, bright and stylish. After years of searching I have finally found my go to place. :) Oh and I love how you can tip on your card :)

First time going to Michael Helene and I loved Nino. I haven’t cut my hair for 7 months and I was prolonging it since I didn’t have a hair stylist that I really wanted to go to. He did my haircut, shampoo/conditioning and style. He’s such a sweet and friendly guy. I had dyed my hair blue a while back and the color has all washed out and he gave me options what I could do with it. I told him I really loved my blue, but I’m tired of just trying to maintain the color. But I’m coming back in a few weeks so he can color my hair.

Amazing cut! Lauren knows her hair! She spent lots of time answering questions and listening to my concerns. It was the first time I got a deva cut. My curls have never looked better! I’ve never been to a stylist who knew hair as well as she did. Her assistant Sam made the experience even better. I have never stick with a salon or a stylist… until now. I will be back! I highly recommend this salon. Every single person made me feel welcome! They were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable!!! BEST experience ever!!!

This is a great salon! From the moment I walked in there was friendly staff and such a cute décor. Azi was my hair stylist and she was so spunky and did an amazing job. She knew exactly what I was going for and even told me how to make it better with my hair texture. Most of the time I feel awkward when a stylist tries to make small talk but she was so much fun and so easy to talk to. I will definitely be making this my go to salon from now on. They even gave me a new customer care package which was such a nice gesture.

Nino did an awesome job on my hair! It was tough since it was very dark hair to start with, but he was able to do a beautiful balayage, with the goal to go even lighter by this summer. Will be coming back in about a month to try going lighter.

Still great after over a year. I had Kylie do my hair and makeup recently for the company holiday party. Well worth it, though for a week night she had to work hard to get everything done on time! I looked stunning. Seriously. Also, I’m not a fan of awkward haircut small talk. I enjoy getting to know her but sometimes she just lets me be and gets on with the job. I approve.

Teesha is a miracle worker! She, without a frown on her face accommodated to every little request I had. Patient, persistent and perfect. I did ombré/balayage and she left no stone unturned in making sure I walked out happy and satisfied. Will go back again and again and again. The customer service calls the next day to make sure you are happy and enjoying your new hair. I mean that itself goes out to show how much they care. Friendly staff, addressed me by my name. wonderful atmosphere to spend a few hours in. Nino is the funniest guy I’ve ever met. He will make sure you are not sitting in that chair bored while he works his magic on your hair. Sam was so extremely curious. Totally loved the experience! Also, very inexpensive for the quality of service they provide.

I’ve been coming here on a monthly basis and I love the atmosphere and the stylists. In particular, Teesha! She’s very attentive, fun, friendly, and full of natural hair knowledge. She also always let’s me know what she’s using in my hair just in case I want to buy it later/or now. I would definitely recommend this salon to friends & family(which I have). I think you guys got a «lifer».

Three years ago my stylist(from another salon) left for San Diego, I’ve spent the time between then and now searching for a new stylist. Finally I turned to Facebook and asked a group I’m a member of for suggestions for a salon with cutting edge stylists and Samantha B., reached out to me. She told me about Michael Helene Salon, asked me several questions and then recommended Kylie. I scheduled an appointment, and during my consultation with Kylie we explored a few options within my budget(love) and opted for a full highlight(I wanted to go very light blonde) with a cut based on what I asked for but also what she felt would look good on me. I really loved the overall color and the cut, but later that night I was a little worried about the roots on my part line showing. I emailed Kylie and very quickly got a call from Kylie asking me to come back so she could correct my roots at no cost. Both of my experiences were absolutely wonderful, I’ve already recommended Kylie to another friend of mine. I feel confident that I’ve found my new stylist!

I’ve been coming here to see Azi for over a year and have never been disappointed. She is amazing at color and knows how to translate what I’m asking for into a beautiful color. I have a lot of hair and is usually a pain to work with but she is a pro and always has me leaving the salon with a smile and no regrets. The entire staff is always friendly and genuine. Michael Helene definitely deserves the title for number one salon on LC!

This is my third time at the salon and Elizabeth cutting my hair. Any one who knows me and has read any of my reviews, I can be termed as «critical.» My sister and I weren’t pleased with our haircuts at another salon over a year ago, so both of our heads of hair were wild and long by the time we got there and were shy of someone new cutting our hair. Sis had Caswell cutting her hair and I had Elizabeth cutting mine. For this review, I am only going to talk about my experiences(Sis can talk for herself.) Right away, Elizabeth and the front staff worked really hard to put me at ease, learn about me, ending with the result of me walking out with a fabulous haircut that completely suited me. When I sat in her chair, Elizabeth right off the bat explained everything that she was doing and every product going in my hair. I was nervous, but we had fun and came out looking great and feeling great!(Because, let’s face it, if you don’t walk out of a salon feeling and looking great, what’s the point? Right?) Fast forward to haircut #2, we decided to take off more hair than last time(«NOTTOOMUCH!») and possible procedures for future appointments. Walking into HC#3, I have to give HUGE kudos to Danielle at the front in trying to get us all scheduled with hectic lives and me accidentally canceling my appointment online instead of moving it.(BTW, took me 3 visits to realize that the fabulous photos in the waiting area was the gorgeous Danielle.) Elizabeth and I agreed to something called balayage that would be natural, summery and sexy. And I got it even after another foot of snow was dumped on the area! I walked out so excited and so happy that I was texting photos of my hair to everyone with people LOVING the hair! I love coming here, chatting with Elizabeth and walking out so happy. I have been recommending this salon since my first appointment. Everyone here is fun, professional, and always willing to help others.

I purchased a Groupon deal here for a partial highlight, haircut, deep conditioning treatment and style. The groupon stated that I couldn’t use it on a Friday or Saturday, which wasn’t a big deal to me. I called and was set up with a what I believe was a jr stylist. I was greeted promptly after check in even after arriving 10 minutes early. We discussed my hair and its needs. Elizabeth did a good job with making my hair look blonder again, softer from the conditioning package, and nice cut. My only complaint was the time this all took. I was at the salon for three hours! My hair is only a little passed my shoulders. I honestly cant afford that much time on my hair. I have had stylist in the past use about 1.5 hrs on my hair to achieve perfection.
