Absolutely amazing!!
Helen Behind the Chair made getting ready for my wedding such a stress-free experience. From our first conversation, Helen was responsive and really listened to what I wanted for my hair. She asked thoughtful questions about my vision and made sure I felt comfortable with the plan before the big day. On the morning of the wedding, she arrived on time and executed everything beautifully while keeping me calm and relaxed. I felt confident and gorgeous, my bridesmaids looked stunning as well. I'd absolutely recommend Helen to any bride looking for a beauty professional who is both talented and easy to work with.

Bride
Helen Behind the Chair was exceptional in helping us prepare for our special day. From the moment I first reached out, I felt seen and heard by Helen. She went above and beyond to make me feel like family, always willing to assist and never complaining, instead following my lead as the bride. Helen's work was truly exceptional, and I am so grateful for the way she contributed to making our wedding day perfect.

The BEST!
Helen was an integral part of making my wedding day so special! My bridal party consisted of many different hair lengths and types, and she masterfully made each of us feel and look amazing! I had 2 flowergirls (10y), 4 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and myself. She coordinated seamlessly with our MUA and we were even done early! Not only is she a master in her craft but working with Helen feels like you’re working with an old friend. Her personality fit in perfectly with our group and she was such a joy to work with! 100 out of 10 would recommend her over and over again!
