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.

The Drybar – Blowout Bliss

AlliFrontBar

The District of Columbia will officially become a frizz-free city thanks to this uber chic hair salon. No cuts, no color, just pure blowout bliss at a bargain price. Drybar has opened not one, but two locations: one in Georgetown on upper Wisconsin Avenue, and the other in Bethesda Row.

Founder Alli Webb is the brains and beauty behind this operation. In 2008, she began a side business called Straight-at-Home, which provided in-home blowouts, strictly on a referral basis in L.A. Demand was high, and business was booming, so Webb decided to expand. Viva Drybar!

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

Pink Karma Salon & Spa - Sterling, VA | Reviews

From the very first time I came, the service has been outstanding and I have never seen a nicer staff then the ones at Pink Karma.The owners have taken the influence of Eastern beauty traditions that date back to thousands of years ago and streamlined it for the 21st Century in Sterling. From threading, to hennaing, to Ayurvedic massages, to mineral make up, they have proven over and over again that what worked for Cleopatra and Indian Goddesses, also works for Northern VA Moms.
