Best Men's Cut in Los Angeles! Been in Los Angeles my whole life and struggled finding a hairstylist who understood the vision for my hair. Katie is detail oriented, gets it, and by far the best hair stylist I've encountered. Love my haircuts and nails it every time. Chil vibe. High tier experience. read more

Katie is the best!! I've been going to her for years and will follow her any where she goes. I always leave her salon in love with my color and cut! She's truly an amazing colorist. read more

I've been going to Katie for about five years. I tried going somewhere closer for a period but came back. Katie does an amazing job, and she is also just a joy to talk to. I've done a few different things with my hair with her - once short, usually a trim and just long and layered - and I've always been thrilled. I highly recommend Katie. Once, totally forgot about my appointment, which was completely my fault. I felt horrible. Katie and the team at Helmet were super cool and let me reschedule that day, and she was very understanding. No one guilt-tripped me, or anything (I was also very apologetic). Also, while I have bought some products there, I've never felt pressured to do so. It's nice to feel like they aren't trying to sell you on anything. read more

I have been going to Katie for years now.. I honestly can say she's my favorite hairstylist I've ever had. Any cut I've asked for... And there have been many! She always listens to what I want and nails it. She's the beeeeest! read more

Katie is hands-down the best in the business. She's made me look better than I ever have before. She saved my hair! If you're looking for a stylist, look no further! read more

I have trusted only Katie with my hair for the past 3 years. She's the best, I always get compliments especially after a fresh cut. I have recommended her to other friends who love her too. Thank You so much! 5 stars! read more

Katie is the best. Always a fresh cut and takes her time to do a nice job. Plus she's just an awesome, pleasant person. Been a loyal customer for years even after moving away from the area. Highly recommended! read more

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Katie Malone at Helmet Salon about three or four years ago. She is the best stylist I've ever had. Everyone likes my hair now! read more

Katie has been cutting my hair for 18 months now and although I've moved to a different part of town I still make the journey to her because she gets it 100% +right every time. I strongly recommend her, her attention to detail and ease of working with different styles is effortless. She is also a really nice, positive, interesting person so always lovely to catch up. Thank you Katie :) read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Katie for the last three years and every single time she did an amazing job. She's great hair stylist and a cool person. read more

Love Katie, and have been going to her for five years now. She is down to earth and all about working with my natural style to deliver texture, interest and movement. She's a great listener when I already have something in mind, and she knows the trends and what will look good on me too, so sometimes I ask for her opinion and go with that. Been so thankful to know Katie and always look forward to my visits to her studio. Her space is really modern and comfortable. She's also consistently pleasant (and super hip) to be around and I love that. read more

I highly recommend Katie. She is super detail oriented and consistently does an amazing job. I have been going to her for several years now and I am always impressed by how every time she does a perfect job. That's a really high standard to meet. I have found in the past many can do a really good job one time with great focus and direction, but to deliver that result every time without continuous direction and reminding is very rare. read more

Katie has been cutting my hair for about four years. Normal short men's cuts mostly, but some experimenting along the way. We've gone long, we've gone blond, we've gone short; I've gone gray. Katie is terrific at communicating and discovering exactly what her clients want and making it look great. She's also really easy to talk to: every session flies by. Go see Katie for a stellar haircut and a chill conversation. You'll have fun, and get compliments on your hair for weeks. read more

Thank you Katie Malone for a wonderful Bob Cut. It was worth the long ride up to LAX and it was so nice meeting you too. You are definitely a "Bob Queen" . I will return soon. Thank you so much for all the time spent on my hair and making it look so great. You are very meticulous and precise and it is not easy finding someone that takes this time and care. Plus very fun to talk too !!!! Thank you xox read more

Umm Katie... Umm yesss... Gorgeous girl with gorgeous attitude and an even more incredible sense of style. I came here for the first time some 2-3 years ago to have my hair color fixed by Roberta and she did a great job. Katie has somewhat become my therapist ;) our banter is great, besides she spends almost two hours on my hair and I'm a dude. She rolls with my punches, when I want to grow my hair or use some crazy method of washing it and in the end always fun. Highly highly recommend all the staff here. read more

Let me say two very important words. BOB QUEEN. I have a very precise style (a sharp and short bob with straight blunt bangs), and Katie is ON POINT!!! She recently moved to the cutest private studio space in Salon Republic next to Arclight Hollywood which is a great and convenient location (easy parking!) and it's even more awesome than when she was at Helmet (even though I LOVE the Helmet salon, and have been a loyal Helmet client for many years -- going from Juliana for years, and when she moved to another state I was adopted by Katie at Helmet, which has been great.... goes to show how much I love Katie, that I have left Helmet to follow her to her new space!). I can't say enough great things about not only her precision (again... bob queen!), but also she is just fun to talk to and has made getting my haircut something I look forward to every 6-8 weeks! read more

I've been a client of Katie at least 9 years for my monthly haircut. I found her just by luck and liked her right from the start. She always asks about what I want to do with my hair, but I find it's best to just let her do her thing. I've never been disappointed. She has great attention to detail and an excellent sense of style. Also, I always look forward to going because we have a nice chat about this and that. Five+ stars!! read more

Katie is the best stylist in LA period! I have been getting my cut & color done by her for over 2 years and my hair has never looked better. My beachy balayage highlights are super fun and compliment my haircut perfectly. Consistency is always hard to find and I can rest assured knowing that I am in the best hands and will always walk out that door feeling amazing. I would highly recommend Katie for all your hair needs. read more

Always thorough, incredibly talented hair professional. I have been getting my hair styled by Katie for the last 5+ years and have never been let down. I highly recommend you give her a try. read more

Been coming to Katie for over 2 years now. She's the greatest, won't go to anyone else. And always awesome conversations as well.

Katie has been cutting my hair for about 4 years. I keep going back because I always love my haircut. She helps me figure out how I want to cut it and does an amazing job styling it. As a bonus, she's easy to talk to and fun to be around. I highly recommend Katie! read more

Katie is such a hair wizard! I have been going to her at Helmet for about five years, and during that time she has taken me from shoulder-length to pixie cut, and back to shoulder-length again. Her cuts always work beautifully with my natural hair texture, and with my low-maintenance (read: super lazy) approach to hair care. She even made the growing-out process from my last pixie cut a totally painless experience - she is amazing! read more

Katie is the man. Not actually a man, but she's the best. I've been going to Katie for a few years now, and have nothing but great things to say. She does a great job, isn't afraid to use scissors (many stylists would just pull out the electric trimmer for my hair), and she's a fun person to be around. Katie is the opposite of LA hair stereotype- she's friendly, accommodating, suggests new things but is cool with keeping it simple, and is zero stress. Getting a haircut should not be a stressful or dramatic experience! Katie is also -in my opinion- a perfect amount of alternative. Not so much that she's too bizarre, but enough that she offers unique perspectives on things which makes my time in her chair fun and engaging. Thanks Katie! read more

I have extremely long real hair- down past my butt! Katie always knows exactly what to do with it. She cuts it exactly how I tell her (I'm very picky and I like to keep my hair long and she follows exactly what I want)! I've had cuts and conditioning, etc treatments with her and she always does an amazing job. She is also very knowledgeable about how to keep hair healthy- she always gives me advice and tips! I highly recommend her for a great cut! Been 7 years now since I've been coming to her and will always continue!!! read more

I have been going to Katie Malone for 4 years and she is phenomenal. She cuts with precision and is an extraordinary stylist. She has a wonderful calm demeanor, is very welcoming.

I've been seeing Katie for about three years, and she's just great. She's easy to talk to and my hair always looks rad after. Definitely go see her! read more
