HELMET

06/25/2008 Posted by foxymomma

Helmet hair salon has the NICEST front desk staff that I've ever met. Most salons I have been to have pretentious, snobby staff. It is refreshing to be treated so well at a hair salon in Midtown. Parking was easy and I was in and out in about an hour! My stylist REX is really talented and gave me the exact color I was looking for. His attention to detail is impressive and I could tell that he went above and beyond to style my hair just the way I like it. He introduced me to the owner as I was leaving the salon and I was equally impressed with him! Just super nice people all the way around! I highly reccomend HELMET in Midtown and of course - REX!!!!

Melanie rocks-pure and simple. I've sent 3 friends there since February and they have all had to get in with other stylists because Melanie was booked during their preferred time. BUT you guessed it-they are just as happy. Rock on Helmet. I had the best cut I've ever had in my 32 years of life by Melanie and just got a trim up last week. My hair looks like Rock Star hair or as she calls it "GIrl you could be on the cover of US Weekly now"-LOL! Met their owner Randy the other day too-very nice guy. I feel like they focus on customer service and truly listen to their clients. I'll never go anywhere else ya'll...

Pros: Great cozy atmosphere, friendly front counter staff, timely appointments, stylists that truly listen to their clients

Cons: Parking maybe? I honestly can't think of a true con

I have been to several stylists in Atlanta and none of them could get my hair to the exact shade of blonde that I wanted.Well Deborah has done it! I went to her for the first time and she got my color exactly perfect the first time! I came in with some dishwater blonde highlights and left with beautiful, bright, shiny,and very natural looking blonde highlights ! She also gave me an amazing new cut so with that along with my new color, I left feeling very glamorous! even got compliments on my hair from total strangers!And, she is also very nice and listens to you explain how you want your hair done.However,she is so professional and knowledgable about cuts and color ,I felt like she knew what I wanted before I told her.She knew the exact color and cut that would fit me and I left feeling like I had a new, hip hairstyle! I highly recommend Deborah , especially if you are very picky and it is very hard for you to find a stylist that you like and that you can count on to do a wonderful job every time you go.She also fit me in to a very busy Saturday morning which was extremely accomodating of her. Try Deborah for highlights and a cut! You will be very happy with how you look!You will look fabulous!

Pros: Atmosphere, staff,service, great experience!

Cons: None

Never in my life have I ever said, "Go as short as you can without making me look bad. I trust you." I have no idea what the heck got into me but whatever it was, thank goodness it did. This is the shortest haircut I've ever had AND I LOVE IT. I would rather get a tooth pulled than go get my hair cut but with Rex it's not that bad. I still freak out when getting my hair done but with Rex it's more like getting my teeth cleaned than getting one pulled. Highly recommended. He's awesome. Super talented. 5 Scissors up. (I know, I'm a goober.)

I recently moved to Atlanta from Chicago where I had been going to my stylist for 15 years. I was very apprehensive about letting someone new do my hair after all those years but I had to choice. I tried Helmet becasue it is in my neighborhood and I saw Malaika for the first time. Malaika did a great job matching my hair color to what my old stylist had been doing and I could not be happier. Malaika was understanding and freindly. She helped to make my move to Altlanta much easier. If you have grey that you want to go away go see Malaika.

Pros: malaika, location, atmosphere

I had been relatively content with my stylist/colorist until I went to Perry! Not only is the color amazing, but the style is perfect! He listened intently to what I wanted and created a look that was perfect for my lifestyle. I don't have to spend too much time on my hair every morning (because I won't) and it looks good no matter whether I am in a business meeting or on the red eye, in jeans or formal wear! I have complete faith in him. He is a true find!

Having just moved down from the Boston area, I was seeking a new stylist. I had the delightful experience of randomly being assigned Rexx Alexander at James Madison. He is amazing! I have since followed him to Helmet. Helmet is a really great salon, very casual and relaxed / comfy.... No pressure... cool vibe. I liked it a lot more than James Madison... Rexx can now do color and he's damn good at it. So glad I found him and Helmet!!!

Pros: REXX!! and the salon overall was fantastic....

Cons: NONE

I was reffered to Malaika by one of her current clients. I had a great stylist for years but he moved away recently and I was on the hunt for a replacement. My hair was always the most beautiful shimmery coppery red (i'm a natural blond) and I loved it, but the past few stylists I tried gave me a dull dusty red with no depth. I explained my delimma to Malaika and she told me she absoluty loves creating red heads and not to worry she would give me my signature red hair back. Malaika acheived what I was looking for and more. I walked out of that salon with my head held high and my copper hair shimmering again! I was bombarded with compliments that following week and I have already booked my next appointment.

Pros: malaika, great location, cool atmosphere, ample parking

I have been to Adrianne before for a cut and she did an amazing job.....well..it was that time again but this time I wanted some highlights too. I am the luckiest girl in the world! I finally found a hairdresser that can do it all! I am so picky and really have never been happy with a cut and color and I never have stuck with a hairdresser but I have found the one and I can't be happier! I have never gotten so many compliments! This ones a keeper! ADRIANNE IS NOW AT SALON RED IN CANDLER PARK...(404)373-2003

Pros: Adrianne

I have been going to Rexx for almost two years at James Madison. He is fantastic! He is now working at Helmet Salon in Midtown. It's a really quaint salon with a relaxed atmosphere. Rexx now does color as well as hair cuts. He is equally as good with color as with a cut. I have never been happier with my hair color! Go see Rexx!!

Pros: very warm atmosphere, friendly staff, great service

Cons: I can't think of any : )
