Helm Salon, Kansas City MO

The first thing I noticed about my wife was her hair. Probably because the sign she was walking behind was five feet high and all I could see was her hair. Anyways, my wife has been getting her hair done at this place for years. She always looks stunning and gets complimented everywhere we go. So keep up the great work! Thanks!

I can’t say enough amazing things about MacKenzie and working with the gals at Helm Salon! I was nervous about being pressed for time the morning of the wedding and MacKenzie was so accommodating and helped me plan out how many stylists we needed to have a smooth and easy morning. She was so kind and helpful, answering tons of questions from me throughout both the booking process and then leading up to the wedding when I was having multiple random skin issues pop up.
And OMG the makeup and hair! There is a reason she was nominated for KC Wedding Vendor Choice awards Makeup Artist AND Hair Stylist this year! I wish she could do my makeup every day! I was dealing with some rosacea and just general skin sensitivity by the time I had my trial with MacKenzie. She was so attentive to all my concerns and made sure to use only products that were ok for sensitive skin. My makeup just felt so light and natural and I really felt like I looked like myself with my favorite features emphasized. It was such comfortable makeup to wear and it didn’t crease or smudge even after a very emotional wedding day!
The rest of the stylists at Helm Salon were also great to work with and Kelli in particular did a great job with my hair for the wedding! I had a very vague idea of what I wanted and Kelli was super kind and willing to tweak things until I was happy with it. I loved how my hair turned out and it was also so comfortable all day long (no hairpin headaches!).
My bridesmaids and the moms loved how their hair and makeup turned out as well and MacKenzie and the rest of the stylists were such a chill group to hang out with during my wedding morning! Working with a smaller salon like Helm felt really personal and nice. MacKenzie especially is incredible and I can’t recommend her enough to others!

Shanna does an amazing job every time I see her. The space is bright and the atmosphere is cool. Highly recommend.

Kelli Jo is so talented. I appreciate that she took the time to teach me to work with the natural waves in my hair. She recommended great products but wasn’t pushy about it. Happy to have found my hairstylist!

This is wayyyy past due but I had to take a second to brag on these ladies. First MacKenzie - I swear this is the kindest/realist person you will ever meet. Not to mention she is so amazing at what she does. Our wedding was outside on a hot day in May and I was SWEATING. But you would never have known it looking back at pictures. My face stayed flawless all night, didn’t even get red (something I was very worried about). And my hair I had a bit of a panic moment after our trial and wasn’t sure if I was happy with my hair, Mackenzie and Shanna were so amazing to take me in for another trial to make sure I LOVED it and again it stayed all night it the heat and humidity (and I did not take it easy on my hair - captured in one of the photos I’ve added it was a party okay?)
Shanna is legitimately a whole vibe. I mean, take a look at the business she OWNS (we all love a boss girl) and then try to tell me you don’t just want to hangout in there all day. You can’t.

Haha but for real - if anyone reading this is on the fence about having your hair and makeup done by these wonderful humans on your wedding day, I’m telling you, it’s worth every penny.

Women owned, friendly and fun. These ladies know their stuff. This has been my salon for over 2 years and I will never let anyone but Madelyn touch my hair. She’s the BEST!

I love love HELM. I have been seeing Shanna the owner for the last 6/8 years or so. My thick latina hair had been a challenge to everyone till I met her and her patience with me. I recommend anyone to all the stylist there because I trust them and I never have those moments of regret ever after going to a hair salon. Make the move and book that appointment! You won’t be disappointed.

Caitlyn Karst is wonderful. She's done my extensions and cuts for the last 3 years, and my hair is the healthiest it's been in years. In addition to her talent, she's also very knowledgeable and nice.
