What Helena is known for.
Verbatim from Pony’s client reviews.
"Love Pony Studios and LOVE Helena's treatment of my hair, always. I've followed her around for years and she never disappoints. Color - tint, cut - long layers, baby bangs. Pony's the place."— Natalie S.
"Helena is the best! I’ve been going to her for several years, and she’s a perfectionist! I love her easy/kind personality and the extra style she adds to every cut."— Nicole K.
"Easy online booking, lovely atmosphere in the salon. Helena was great- my hair turned out even better than I thought it would! Price was reasonable for cut and color."— Kea S.
"Helena did a beautiful job! Did exactly what I was asking for and more! She did a lovely job blending my layers and paid a lot of attention to my individual hair type."— Zoe B.
"Got my tint and cut with Helena Santos. She did an amazing job with helping me find the perfect cut after I showed her my reference photo. She was also very friendly and helpful. Would love to come back for another visit when I am ready for something new!"— Abhinaya (.
"I got my hair cut, colored, and blow-dried today at Helena Santos’ new shop! I’ve been going to Helena since her days at another salon in El Cerrito, and she never misses. She always understands the vision and is the absolute sweetest, I’d follow her anywhere."— Carina C.
