Testimonials
What Our Customers
Are Saying
At Helmet, we listen to our clients.
Before we even pick up our scissors, our stylists take the time to listen and get a feel for your personality, your lifestyle and how much time you have to spend on your hair. We then offer suggestions based on that conversation.
I love getting my hair done here. Trudy is amazing and knows exactly what I am needing! Their products are high quality, and my healthy hair is a testament to this! I never feel rushed or like another bum on a seat!! The team are friendly and energetic and love a laugh. I always leave with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, cannot wait to come back! Oh, and their personal touch goes a long way as well! I received a little song and fuss for my birthday today and it was really heart-warming!

I have been going to Helmet Hair for years now and even when I was located interstate for a little while I would wait until a Darwin visit to get my hair coloured and cut. I love the team and have enjoyed watching apprentices such as Trudy grow to become exceptional stylists and colourists.
And most of all I appreciate how Helmet and Susan have helped me to have hair styles and looks that I love and how the health of my hair is a top priority as is keeping my hair style modern and perfect for me whether I am in a ‘I am growing it’ or a ‘OMG cut it off’ or a ‘hmmm it is time for a change’ phase.
Thank you Susan xo

I have been a client of Helmet Hair Studio for about 7 years now and I do not think I will ever go to another Salon unless I absolutely must. The girls are all amazing, friendly and go above and beyond for all your hair needs.
Ashley Petrilli
It is a relaxing and pampering experience at Helmet Hair Studio, from the beverage menu and massage chairs to the divine head massages……The team are very experienced & friendly. You can relax and know your hair is in good hands! I am always happy with the results and would not hesitate recommending Helmet Hair to anyone.
Jodie Ksiazek
When you want expertise, this is the salon to go to. Daniella is fabulous. Great advice and fabulous skills and knowledge. 100% recommended.
Louise Steedman
I recently visited helmet hair after a friend recommend them to me. Initially I was just going in to get a quote, once we had arranged what I was wanting I was fortunate enough for them to squeeze me in there and then. The staff were amazing, caring and very attentive. Once the toner had set, I was moved to the sink basin, oh my god. I am not sure what happened, but one minute I am getting my hair rinsed, the next I’m having what I presume was a conditioner/softener massaged into my hair, and before I know it, I’m falling asleep whilst being massaged by the chair. I was in my element. I was so relaxed.
I am just happy that I got a toner, so in 6 weeks I can revisit and hopefully re-live this experience. Amazing. Thank you, ladies!
Jordan Smith
Love it! I have been going to Helmet since I moved to Darwin nearly 5 years ago – I dreaded having to find a new hairdresser but Susan and her team had me at ‘hello’ – their work is excellent, and they are always on point.
Kathryn Duell
Very professional, friendly, and accommodating. Great result also. Thanks Eliza and Holly 😊 I will be back!
Liz Conway
Great place. Came looking for advice with change in style after a couple of years with the same look and was very happy with the outcome!
Happy to keep coming back to Susan and the team at Helmet 🙂
Paul Ryan
I have been visiting Helmet Hair Studio for over 10 years. Even when I moved interstate for a few years I never found anywhere that I was happy with compared to Helmet. All the staff are incredibly talented, and the service is second to none. The success of the business can be directly attributed to the kind and wonderful staff that work there. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for a hair stylist that not only listens to what you want but can do an exceptional job, then look no further!
FYI – Best head massages in Darwin 🙂
Sara Vaughan
I have been a client of Helmet for over 10 years. In that time I have lived in three different cities, & have yet to find a salon with the expertise and results I have become accustomed to. Everything from the atmosphere and quality products, to the service (and laughs), is exceptional. To this day, when I plan a visit home I always hang out to have my hair done here. I highly recommend Helmet to anyone who is dire need of a revamp, to a simple refresh. Good hair is such an investment & if there’s one thing the stylists at Helmet know it’s bloody good hair!
Looking forward to my next visit!

Excellent services. Friendly staff. Best colour and cutting in Darwin.
Helen Vandenberg
If you are after a relaxing and stress-free experience, make sure to go to Helmet Hair studio. They do a great job with your hair and look after you so well the entire time you are there. Eliza is fantastic!!👍👍👍.
Camille Helm
Lovely salon, staff are very friendly and really listen to what you want. Thanks Hannah for my new hair. I LOVE it.
Rachel Gorgon
I have been a regular client with Helmet Hair Studio for some years now and have often been asked “where do I get my hair done?” and am always happy to tell them “Helmet”. This is not only a compliment to me but a great advertisement for Helmet. As they say word of mouth is the very best advertisement. You know the second question is coming and it does “which hairdresser at Helmut does your hair?”. I reply “Stephanie, however I have on occasion had other technicians at the salon do my hair and have always been very happy with the results”.
In my opinion all the staff are experienced good technicians, friendly and most of all professional. The quality I notice the most is that the standard of service provided is of a high standard and it is always maintained. This is to be rewarded (not sure how) as there are not many retail providers in Darwin that are able to consistently maintain a high level of service over a long period of time.
Further, even since Susan has been away with her new baby (in other words the boss is not on site) there has been no lowering of the standard and the care of the client has been maintained.
I have never written a testimonial before as I have never been asked but have done so this time because I believe it is important for the staff to know that they are doing a great job and should be given positive feedback.
As long as Helmet stays the same I will continue to recommend Helmet to friends and family.

“Just loved this place. The professionalism and the skill of the hairdresser was absolutely perfect.So nice to get what you actually want and was so happy with the style. From the moment I arrived was treated very special. Would definitely recommend. If I am in Darwin again would certainly come back for a visit. Great salon. Well done.”
“As usual Britney is a pleasure to deal with – she is a fun filled happy girl – she is a credit to the Helmet organisation. She is always happy and smiling and welcoming. I always like getting my hair done with Britney and look forward to continuing experiencing the same great service and hair styles!”
I 100% recommend this salon to my friends & family. They’re very professional in very way & I’ve never walked away unhappy over the past few years I’ve been going. Love the staff, environment, price & services

A visit to Helmets today sent me home feeling a million dollars, Daneilla was very professional and attentive in getting my colour just right and another great cut from Susan, it’s always value for money from the moment I walk in the door because I feel like I get more than a cut and colour, it’s a very enjoyable experience and no matter how busy the staff make you feel special.
Sue Condon
Xenia Bryant
Helmet hair have highly trained staff and use fantastic products, but the reason I continue to go back is because of the extra touches like the comfortable leather massage chairs and great coffees.
Karina Mcleod
Helmet hair isn’t just a place to get your hair styled; it’s a relaxing experience within itself! With top rate stylists and a real sense of personal touch and friendship, never do you feel less than amazing after leaving Helmet!
Thanks Helmet Hair
Kira Nicholson
I have been a client of Helmet Hair Studio for many years and every time I leave the salon I am more than satisfied with my cut, colour and overall treatment. Upon every visit I am welcomed with warm greetings of the friendly staff and complimentary refreshments. The staff have always taken the time and care to make sure they have a full understanding of the style and result I want and to this day I have never been disappointed. The tranquil atmosphere and comfort that Helmet Hair Studio provides ensures that each salon experience is always enjoyable.
I can confidently recommend Helmet Hair Studio as a solid and reliable service, and experts in their field.
Jaime-Lee Allan
I must admit I don’t trust anyone when it comes to my hair; however, my first experience with Helmet hair put a stop to that.
I have never been in better hands, than I am with the staff at Helmet hair.
The staff are helpful and welcoming, I always feel like a NEW WOMEN!!!
When I am finished. 10/10 can’t Thank Helmet enough…
Marion Themeliotis
Hi to all at helmet hair studio, after trying a few hair salons here in Darwin I came to Helmet Hair Studio and was made to feel really comfortable which is only the beginning when we girls go to have our hair done. I have been having my hair styled and coloured with you for nearly 4 yrs and have only had great cuts and colours along with excellent and professional service. Thank you, Helmet Hair.
Debby Kessell
I have had many tremendous experiences at Helmet. As Eliza mostly looks after me, she is an incredible hairdresser with outstanding attention to detail, always recommending what to do with my hair, always leaving my hair in pristine condition. The staff always listen to you, if you want a change of style, colour etc.
They always make you feel very welcome from the moment you arrive. Giving you a refreshing shooter on arrival and a fresher towel.
Video’s to watch while you’re in the massage chair, and great relaxing ministry of sound music playing. Not to mention a selection of teas and real coffee along with a choc biscuit. Fit for a Queen.
I would highly recommend Helmet to anyone wanting great hair and great service.
Suzi Milgate
From the minute I open the big door and nestle into the comfy couch, sip my spritzer and wipe my brow with the cold towel, all the tension of the week disappear and I know I am in for a wonderful experience.
The professionalism of the stylists is without doubt, it is the extra touches with the quality of the refreshments on offer, the little pampering touches that make my hair appointments a treat.
I have been recommending Helmet Hair Salon since they first opened to all the newcomers in Darwin. Some have moved interstate and will still make a booking when they return on holidays – that’s the loyalty they engender.
Jacinta Chartres
“I love Helmet so much that even though I live in Alice Springs, I refuse to get my hair cut anywhere else! There’s nothing like walking in and being greeted by friendly staff, a cold face towel and welcome drink. The staff are lovely, the massage chairs at the sinks are super and the ‘do’ I walk out with is without fail fun, funky and so stylish! Thanks Helmet (Susan)!!”
Barb Molanus

Julie is an absolute magician!! I have fine dark hair and often come out deflated when getting my hair done. I went in to HELMAT for a cut and colour and came out feeling a million dollars! The service was phenomenal, the staff so lovely and friendly! The salon has such a great vibe! Such a great experience! I would certainly recommend treating yourself and booking an appointment!!

Paul Ryan
I recently moved to Darwin and worried so much about having to find a new hairdresser that I would be comfortable with colouring and cutting my hair! Helmet was the one I went for and I can happily say I’ve never had such an amazing experience as I did at Helmet yesterday. The service was beyond exceptional- if I could give more than 5 stars I would!! The stylists were so so knowledgeable and put me at ease. I loved everything about the experience and am delighted with the result of my hair! Shout out to Steph and Joy you ladies are amazing! I cannot wait to return!
Ivana Lee
I’ve been coming here for close to 4 years and never had a bad experience. I have curly hair so it’s even better that they can work well with it! Helmet hair is definitely on my list of favourite places, couldn’t recommend it enough!
Shika Shay
Libby Austin
Absolutely fabulous salon- was so lucky to snag a VERY last minute appointment and I am thrilled at the results. The cut and colour was just perfect and exceeded my expectations as this was my first experience there. My hair is so manageable now! Highly recommend. The entire team was lovely- Will definitely be back.
Liberty Bridgman
It’s a relaxing and pampering experience at Helmet Hair Studio, from the beverage menu and massage chairs, to the divine head massages…..The team are very experienced & friendly.
