Barber shops are tricky, often times it's not the quality of the actual shop but the skills of the…read morebarber that keeps you coming back. With this said, a lot of times, things like customer service, space designs and even cleanliness are often over looked. Helena's Hair Cut is a rare case where the barbers are highly skilled and you also get a cheap cut, clean store and excellent service. I was skeptical at first because 5th st has a lot of shops and the competition is high. Helena is the newest shop on the block and I wanted to take a chance. The owners are friendly and extremely helpful. He made sure what I wanted and was very detailed. I came out satisfied and it was super cheap. I didn't think I'd be so comfortable at a new place but I was wrong. Hands down, one of the best spots on 5th st, very affordable! Highly recommended!

I didn't have to wait at all, and the hair stylist made sure to make me feel comfortable while washing my hair and styling it. I wasn't getting burned and getting water splashed all over me which was great. They also have AC so it doesn't feel like a sauna in there. I'm definitely coming here more often. I got a wash, blow dry and curl and the total came up to $40. Oh and a plus, I'll be early to dinner for once since she didn't take forever on my hair. LOL! FYI..It's in the hood. So you might wanna take that in consideration. I was raised in the neighborhood so it wasn't a problem for me. Def pay this place a visit!

My friend suggested I give this salon a try because she heard great things about it so I did and I was very pleased with the outcome! I had a trial first and Bory was able to mimic the updo I wanted to a tee, she also gave suggestions on what would look best on me. She was VERY accomodating as I had to get ready for my wedding very early in the morning. And did I mention the price?? It's so much more affordable here (vs Tommi and other places in center city)! Seriously, this salon is awesome and the staff is great too. I believe there are 2 locations... one on red lion and the other on rising sun, I've gone to the one on rising sun.
