Helmet - Highlands
by Giggles78
June 30, 2009
I start going to Helmet in Virginia Highlands a little over a year ago. Susan Kelley has colored and cut my hair every since. I always leave with a great cut and color based on my wants/likes.
- Pros: Great style and color. Listen what you want.
Truly Great Stylist
by midtowner
June 16, 2009
I moved to Atlanta a year ago and dreaded having to find a new stylist. Then, a friend with really cute hair recommended Erika Audrey at Helmet in Mid-town. She is fantastic. I wanted a new, more professional-looking style and had a general idea of what I had in mind. Erika listened, made suggestions, and then gave me the best haircut and style I've ever had. She also showed me how to replicate the great new style at home. I've been back for every cut and style since and am always extremely pleased with the results. Erika's also a lot of fun and easy to communicate with.
The salon is perfect too. It's upscale but relaxed. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this salon to anyone who wants a great style in a comfortable environment.
- Pros: Great cut, Great style
- Cons: Weekend appts take a while

Stylist Tina Hohmann was great! She took time to determine my desires and needs for style and color then performed her magic with precise, detailed talent! Also, the salon has a great, relaxing atmosphere.
- Pros: Stylist takes her time and is a perfectionist!
- Cons: Cost- but worth every penny!
Atlanta's Very Best Aveda Salon!

I was really worried about finding a new hairdresser in Atlanta when I moved back last fall. A good friend of mine goes to Erika Audrey at Helmet and I so gave her a try! I haven't been anywhere else since! I was so impressed by the salon itself when I first arrived--it's in an adorable old house in Midtown (but still has lots of parking!) that has been renovated to be a hip Aveda salon with an old-Atlanta feel. Erika's 'station' overlooks Piedmont Avenue--can't beat that for an Atlanta haircut.
Erika has cut my hair four times now and every time I leave thinking I have my new best haircut ever! Finally I have a hairdresser who truly listens to what I want--and then she makes my hair look even better than I expected! Erika is also really great at teaching me how to replicate the style myself--gone are the days of my hair looking great at the salon but then not being able to do it myself.
I have recommended other friends to Erika since my first visit. I have long hair myself, which looks great thanks to her, but she has also given some of my girlfriends great bobs and short haircuts, and her guy cuts are hot, too! Can't recommend this smiley, hip hairdresser enough!
- Pros: great personality, great salon atmosphere, lots of parking, friendly staff, service surpasses all expectations!
- Cons: a little costly--but worth it! we all deserve great hair!
Best stylist in town

I have extremely challenging hair to deal with and had never had a haircut I felt really good about. A good friend recommended that I go to see Erika Audrey at Helmet Midtown. I went with trepidation--as I said, no good haircuts in my life. Erika was wonderful--she is very thorough about getting to know her clients and crafting their haircut to their life/work needs. More than that, she devotes a lot of time to each session. I have never been in there where I have felt like she was rushing through my haircut and she always shows up with suggestions for making my haircut even better. I not only have hair I can be proud of now, but I get compliments all the time from my friends and co-workers (a first for me!). Go to Helmet and see Erika Audrey--you will not be disappointed!
- Pros: Location, price, talented stylists, personal attention
- Cons: Parking can be difficult, but only at rush hour
Finally a place I KNOW I will leave happy, NO BAD DAYS in almost a year!

When I moved to Atlanta four years ago and didn't know where to go, so I tried what seemed to be popular places. I went from long blonde hair to shorter and shorter destroyed hair. There have been sooo many times I sat down, told the stylist what I wanted and was treated like an idiot or oblivious to fashion trends for wanting to stay blonde (the audacity of me). I have paid over 300 at Van Michael's to be subject to arrogant stylist whom I negotiated my hair color with, only to be very surprised at the end with the stylist?s ?interpretation?. A series of accidental mishaps at salons lead to a lot of damage and a lot of haircuts. I was avoiding mirrors. My hair looked liked I was in radiation treatment. I hated it, so I researched options before I started a new job. I decided to invest in hair extensions and called and consulted with different salons. I met with Erika at Helmet, immediately upon walking into the salon I felt warmly welcomed. Erika took her time, answered every question I could think of and helped feel comfortable not pushed or pressured to go one way or another. She encouraged me in getting the look I WANTED for ME! She colored my hair to match the extensions, and it was the BEST color job. Then the extensions came, and she did a great job showing me how it worked, and how to care for my hair. The end product is amazing! I look in the mirror and finally recognize the face I see- the person I always felt like, and not the cancer patient I looked like. It's been over four months and just left my touch up appointment... I'm still in love with my hair. I'm so grateful I found Helmet and Erika; I couldn't say enough about them... I hope that this will help someone else looking for a stylist that KNOWS what they are doing, keeps up with current trends, advises you without pushing you, and LISTENS to your beauty goals... you'll find it at Helmet.
- Pros: Best Color! Great Extensions :)
- Cons: Extensions aren't cheap, but it was the first time I was happy with the money I spent!

The Helmet Hair Experience
by JasonEastAtl
December 05, 2008
I don't usually take the time to visit websites to make coments or write reviews, but my experience at Helmet East Atlanta warrants my effort. My stylist is Johnathan, and I cant say enough about his talent. He listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, asked all the right questions...and although I was probably not very clear on what I weanted, he gave it to me and then some. I get comments on my hair all the time. Of course, i like to think thats because i am kind of a big deal....but I really know its Johnathans work. The salon is really hip and chic as well...a small piece of NYC right here in lil old east Atlanta.
great location, totally NOT pretentious, Wendy is an amazing stylist!

I'm new to Atlanta and very thankful for the citysearch reviews! After reading several good reviews about Helmet, I decided to give its midtown location a try. I had the same hair stylist back home for years. The idea of trying someone new gave me panic attacks. Thankfully, Wendy at Helmet was amazing. She really listened to what I had to say about my hair, and what I wanted to do. My highlights are flawless. Cut, amazing. I'm so happy to have found Wendy at Helmet!
- Pros: great location, free parking, talented staff (Wendy Rocks!), reasonable prices, open 7 days???
- Cons: none I can think of.... maybe a con would be they don't do house calls??lol....

I can't say enough good things about Helmet Salon and stylist Ronnie at the Cheshire Bridge location. Ronnie has been my stylist for the past 2 months and he does an outstanding job on my hair. I could not be any happier since I am SO particular about my hair. Ronnie has a great attitude and a wonderful personality and I highly recommend him.
- Pros: All Good!!!
