I found this place on Groupon and went in for a deep condition and hairstyle. I absolutely loved it. My hair stylist was so fun and sweet to talk to. Not only was her personality amazing but she was incredible with my hair. I have big and long hair, that's intimidating for most hairstylists to work with- but Mayra dived right in and in a super short time made my hair perfect! It doesn't stop there with great service- my appt allotted time was only an hour however with my hair it definitely took more that just my 12-1; i had a work phone call at 1:30 and explained to Mayra I could not miss it. She didn't even hesitate and let me go take the call in my car and come back in to get a full,attentive complete appointment. I cannot express how much it meant to me! I will definitely be back here. If Michael Helene breeds all hairstylists anything like Mayra then I'm sure to recommend to all my friends and visit more regularly. More...

I sent Dawn a message about coming to the salon... and helping to fix my hair.. but I was in a bit of a bind with my time crunch too. I was leaving for the summer in less than 5 days. Dawn set me up with Devin (who is fabulous).Devin took the time with me to get my blonde roots back. He also helped refocus my attention on strengthening my hair in the long run in order to keep it healthy. His attention to detail and knowledge is top notch. Thank you to both Dawn and Devin!!

This salon saved my hair! I had recently gone through a painful hair experience at another salon in the area, and Michael Helene Salon Gallery saved the day! Elizabeth (who I have dubbed the Hair Wizard) managed to give my horribly over-processed and damaged hair new life and a fresh cut. The unpretentious, happy, and professional vibe of the salon is obvious as soon as you walk through the front doors and it was so refreshing! Everyone from reception to the lovely staff at the hair washing station was super welcoming, fun, and kind. I'm so happy to say that after three years of living in VA I have finally found my "home salon!" More...

The staff was excellent and loved the atmosphere. Had issue with their product’s color ‘taking’ to cover my grey (first time ever) despite stylist being very thorough for full color coverage and my stylist was so nice and worried about it and offered to bring back next weekend for a re-do. Super pleasant salon and hairstylist and hoping the color product does its job and colors my grey next time around. I think this was first time they had seen this as well. Hopefully a quirk as a I really liked this salon. More...

I have long curly hair. It's not hair I can just get cut anywhere. In fact, I don't. But being a busy mom with an overgrown mop, I tried Michaela for the first time and was not disappointed. One of the best curly haircuts I've ever had. She did a few dry snips (Deva method) and I had great shape that has held up for FOUR months. She kept my hair long as I wanted, gave me the layers I needed for volume and put the shape back into my hair. I'm going to see her again soon and I can't wait. She also did one color and highlights on my graying brown hair. Super pleased overall.  If you want a Deva cut, don't hesitate. More...

I had a my hair cut and styled by Michaela Bennett and to call her an artist is an understatement. I am a curly girl and have dreaded getting my haircut. I feel like not a lot of stylists know what to do with curly hair.  Friday was the first haircut I walked away from a feeling ecstatic with how it turned out. Michaela knew exactly how to care for and cut it. I hated washing it, because I felt like I was ruining a masterpiece. More...

I've been going to Pari for years, and followed her to Michael Helene.  I still love Pari for my hair!  This week, I also spent a gift card on a special treat -- a facial with Nicola.  And what a treat it was!  This was much more than just a facial -- she massaged my shoulders and scalp, and even did a bit of massage on my hands and feet.  She took her time and did a wonderful job.  If I decide to treat myself again, Nicola is my go-to now!

I saw Michaela for a deva cut the first week of December 2018. I know it was a while ago, but I still love my hair cut. It's really difficult to find someone who can cut curly hair so well, especially so that it grows out without looking all scraggly. I hadn't had a haircut since the previous July before this. My layers were more like "shelves" of...hair. It was boxy and just weird, and the lower layers grew extra long. So it was very, very uneven. She cut it dry, fixed my layers, fixed the hair framing my face so it blended together better. She shaped it so it looked coherent and fixed the layers so they weren't shelves. She took off the length I'd wanted (it'd gotten way too long), not too short. She helped me with how to style it better too. She was an absolute joy to talk to throughout too. She didn't pressure me to talk when I didn't feel like it, it never felt awkward like it does with some of the stylists I've been to over the years. Almost two months later and I'm still really happy with my deva cut.I highly recommend her and am looking forward to my next haircut with her in March. More...

Last time I got my haircut (at another salon in nova), I asked for a few inches off and the stylist chopped it all off. It was heartbreaking and I was terrified to get another haircut. After waiting 15 months, I decided to try a new salon, Michael Helene and had Elle cut my hair. After listening intently to my terrible experience, Elle reassured me she would take care of my hair. She took her time and patiently awaited my feedback. I walked out with the best haircut ever, and with a whole new slew of confidence. I'll be a customer of Elle's for life! Thanks again. More...

We went here because my son/daughter is transgender and I looked for a place that said it was LGBT friendly. I told them what was going on when I made the appointment. When we got there, they had client of the day on a sign with my son's chosen female name on it. He/she was beyond happy. They were very kind to her. She really liked her haircut and they talked to her quite a bit and she was very comfortable there. It is quite a drive from our house but my bottom line was that she was happy and came away feeling good about the experience. They covered that in spades. Thanks. More...

Absolutely love this place!!! The customer service is amazing! And my hairstylist, Andrea, was the sweetest! She is a gifted young lady. I usually stay away from hair salons and would rarely go once a year for a haircut because of the bad experiences I’ve had in the past. Finally decided to invest on my haircut, and I can proudly say they’ve got themselves a life long customer. I showed Andrea several photos of how I wanted my hair to be and she started giving me suggestions based off my face figure. She suggested I cut it shorter to frame my face better, which was the best suggestion ever! Any product she put on my hair, she would tell me the names and what it does to my hair. Bought couple of the products she suggested for me, and my hair has been getting healthier every time I use them. For once in my life I am excited to style my hair. I would highly suggest to get a haircut at least once from them, they make the experience worth every penny More...

I have been to my fair share of hair salons and have usually been disappointed, however, this is hands down the best salon I have ever been to. I'm incredibly picky when it comes to finding the right place to get my hair done and up until now, I have always left salons being incredibly unhappy. Knowing how particular I am, my sister-in-law recommended I check out Michael Helene Hair Salon, so I thought I might as well give it a shot. I am so glad I did because the second I walked in, I knew I would love this place. The environment was so amazing; everyone was incredibly friendly and more than willing to help. I had a vision for my hair. I wanted my hair dyed an eggplant color and was told by multiple salons that they would not be able to accommodate what I wanted. I went to see Helen and she told me not to worry, her confidence made me extremely comfortable throughout the whole process. Helen was quickly able to see my vision and gave me the security I needed to know I was in good hands. Let's be honest, hair is a big deal and no one wants to walk out of a salon in tears. Helen was assisted by James. I was blown away! Both of them were just amazing. I was so unbelievably impressed by how my hair turned out. They took exactly what I wanted and made a reality! A Reality I was told over and over again by countless salons, was not even possible! The most gorgeous eggplant color that looked exactly like the picture I had shown her. I met the owner, Michael Helene, right before I was about to head out (they stayed past closing hours just to accommodate me). Michael is such a down to earth, passionate woman. I found my place! Go here! You will not be disappointed, I can give you my word! More...

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. More...

I cannot even begin to rave how amazing this salon is! I had a lot of hesitations before my first deva cut. Lauren quickly put me at ease and like a fairy Godmother, I walked away looking and feeling like a princess with long luscious curls. Once I got home, I had no idea how to repeat her magic so I booked a whole appoint to learn how to manage and care for curly hair. Then I quickly realized long hair was not realistic so...we cut about 9-10 inches off. Let freedom ring! My hair was no longer controlling me or my time. Today with all trust in Lauren's hands and brilliancy, she did a fun amaranth color that strategically followed my angled bob. She enhanced my blonde to look like it had been kissed by the sun. Every visit my expectations and experiences were beyond my vocabulary. Warm, welcoming, caring, attentive, patient, expertise. All encompassing!! More...

This by far is the best salon I have EVER been to! I got my hair done by Azi last night and it is the most fabulous haircut I have ever received. I have curly hair so I am very apprehensive about who cuts my hair...because it seems like no one knows how to cut it correctly. She was wonderful in asking me questions on how I currently do my hair, what I use, and letting me know what I am doing wrong and how I can go about getting better curl results out of my hair. Since I was a first time customer, I even got a deep conditioning, which was wonderful! Then she showed me how to properly dry my hair...using a diffuser which I don't use but I went and bought one today because I was so impressed with the results...and the results were simply amazing.

I truly appreciated not only the haircut, but the "counseling" on how to better take care of/maintain my hair because other stylists just cut your hair and shove you out the door. This was a rewarding, fantastic experience that I will definitely be looking forward to again in 4 months when I go back! Thank GOD I have found a stylist I like!!!
