I have been going to Helene for 2 years now. She does a wonderful job with colors and cuts. I couldn’t see her for months due to shelter in place, but my hair grew out nicely due to her expert styling. I was so happy when she was able to get back to work!!!

I have been going to Helene for over 10 years. I selected her after attending a class she was teaching. She is truly an expert in her field, having worked at Redken and with well-known hair professionals. She knows color and does a fabulous job. Nobody knows I color my hair because she applies the color so it looks completely natural. I have done the Keratin treatments as well, and those have looked good and lasted longer than expected. She will also tell you what to do to make your treatment last as long as possible. Additionally, she has created her own line of skin care and makeup products which are high quality at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Helene.

Ugh... I'm having the experience where I'm reading about Helene's Keratin treatment from reviewers on Yelp and kicking myself for buying a Keratin treatment from her in the first place.
Helene is a nice person, very warm, and does a Keratin treatment that has absolutely no impact on the texture of your hair. I was charged $50 extra for the fact that my hair was past my bra line, which may or may not have been in the fine print of the Groupon I purchased but really adds insult to injury when you consider that my straightening treatment lasted just about as long as the blowout I had that is supposed to set the treatment in your hair (3 days).
I contacted Helene directly about this to explain the problem I was having. She texted me back and told me that it's not her fault the treatment didn't work. But let's think about this, having had 10+ Keratin treatments in my life, I would not continue to have them if they didn't work. In fact, mine usually last 5+ months because I'm careful to take care of them. So yeah, Helene, I think it is your fault the treatment didn't work, and I wish you would stand behind the service you offered.
Please, review readers-- avoid this scam and get your Keratin somewhere else.
And please, Helene-- if you read this review and feel uncomfortable about developing this reputation, reply to your customers when they give you a chance to make things right BEFORE venting their frustrations on the internet.

Helene is great, super interesting, educated professional. I got a Brazilian blowout back in November, while it was not the best results I've ever gotten, it still worked. I think the flat iron she used was just not quite hot enough, I went and used my best flat iron at home afterwards which may or may not have helped!

Helen Rene hair and makeup is the WORST COSMETOLOGIST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! She was very short and closed off to me. Her attitude towards my questions were undermining and she made me feel very inferior to her. DO NOT GO TO HER unless you want to be disappointed! My hair experience with her was horrible and I left crying. Not at all worth trying a salon I wasn't familiar with. HORRIBLE!
