Michael Helene Salon Gallery

Michael Helene has been in the hair care industry for 13 years. She has worked behind the chair, in television and on feature length films in Los Angeles and was a regional education director for Toni and Guy Tigi. Her dream of owning her own salon came about through her passion and love for the industry and for making people look and feel great.

After winning the first Family Makeover Giveaway at MHSG, Cindy Rodriguez and her family left the salon feeling pampered, beautiful and refreshed. The family was picked due to their very touching story. After a very rough year, this amazing family deserved a night of beauty, and that’s just what they got.

Michael giggles as she says to me, “This has to be the most interesting family makeover we have ever done. Green hair, Balyage, a beautiful bob and some fire red highlights – could we have picked a more deserving family for a team of creative hairdressers to work with?”

Cindy Rodriguez said her experience at the salon was a warm and inviting one thanks to the professional staff and the personalized service offered.

Located in the heart of Dulles, this particular location is one with tons of personalities and already regulars. When we visited, Tina, a new member to the team, quickly became our new favorite stylist. She is so talented and sweet. With Tina, it is not about her. Her focus is only about you. We recommend her to anyone that asks.

I’ve been going to Karen from Eclips for years. That’s because I trust her styling sense. I actually had won a cut for this salon from an auction I attended. Until then I had been faithfully getting my hair done by a very well known salon in Fairfax. I used to walk out looking great, but never able to replicate it. Karen recommended adding some low and high lights and before she even cut my hair, I noticed a huge difference. After Karen finished, she showed me exactly what to do with the gorgeous style she gave me. I was hooked and I fired my old stylist. Thank you Karen

Super Slow Zone - Sterling, VA | Reviews

SuperSlow is a revolutionary exercise regimen that produces a leaner, stronger body in two 20 minute workouts per week. The workout involves four to six weight machines, each targeting a specific muscle group. Weights are slowly raised over a period of 10 seconds and lowered for 10 second, until the targeted muscles reach total momentary fatigue. The client is encouraged to push beyond total fatigue for an extra 10 seconds which is when the results occur. SuperSlow offers a professional certified personal instructor who has completed a rigorous certification that requires complete knowledge of SuperSlow method and equipment, anatomy and physiology, safety, and, goal achievement. According to the studio, independent studies have shown that a SuperSlow exercise regimen compared to a regularspeed identical regimen yielded a 50% greater strength gain over 8 weeks of carefully supervised exercise.
