About
Helen Taylor
Hairstylist, Trichologist and Studying Integrative Health Practitioner
Helen has lived in the greater Los Angeles area since she was 8 years old. She attended Pasadena schools and shortly after graduating high school, enrolled in Cosmetology school at Pasadena City College. She graduated and acquired her license in 2014 and has been behind the chair ever since. Helen’s professional experience spans Beverly Hills, Studio City, and Pasadena, where she has worked in diverse environments including upscale salons, music video productions, and private settings with high-profile clients. In 2020, she began developing a private studio concept focused on safety, comfort, and individualized care - providing clients with a discreet, professional space for personalized hair services. Hair Dreams Boutique Salon opened December 1, 2020 nestled in the hills of Pasadena, CA.
After specializing in Hair Extensions for 7 years, Helen began her journey as an educator. She finds immense joy by bringing other stylists into the fabulous world of hair extensions and teaching them to apply hair extensions with integrity and the utmost attention to detail. Helen loves connecting with hair stylists from all over the country and sharing her knowledge and “tips & tricks” of the trade. When she sees other people have the “aha” moment, when everything clicks, that’s the most gratifying part for her.
In 2024, Helen completed her advanced training and became a Certified Trichologist, expanding her expertise as a hair and scalp specialist. This allows her to take a deeper, more personalized approach to her clients’ hair health and restoration journeys.
Helen is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) and is a proud member of the American Hair Loss Council. These credentials reflect her commitment to non-invasive, holistic approaches to hair and scalp health, as well as her adherence to the highest professional standards in hair loss education and care. Through ongoing training and industry collaboration, Helen stays at the forefront of proven, ethical hair loss solutions - making her uniquely qualified to create safe, effective, and personalized treatment plans that support lasting results and help clients confidently achieve their hair loss goals.
Helen offers a range of innovative treatments designed to promote hair growth and improve scalp wellness, including:
Scalp Renewal - Our Scalp Renewal service is a results-driven treatment designed to restore balance and support healthy hair growth. We begin with an in-depth scalp analysis and TrichoTest to measure sebum and moisture levels, while assessing any signs of hair thinning and its stage.
Based on your results, we create a customized protocol tailored to your scalp’s specific needs. The treatment then focuses on detoxifying, cleansing, nourishing, and rebalancing the scalp to improve blood circulation and create an optimal environment for hair growth.
We complete your service with an optional blow-dry and a follow-up scalp analysis to track and compare your results.
Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) - Our AlmaTED Hair Restoration treatment is a non-invasive, advanced solution designed to improve hair growth without needles or downtime. Using ultrasound-based technology, it enhances the delivery of powerful hair-supporting ingredients deep into the scalp, helping to stimulate follicles, improve scalp health, and promote thicker, fuller hair. This treatment is FDA-cleared for the treatment of non-scarring forms of alopecia and has demonstrated up to a 98% efficacy rate, making it a highly effective option for those experiencing hair thinning.
By combining innovative delivery technology with potent growth factors, this treatment maximizes absorption and effectiveness - supporting stronger, healthier hair growth with visible, long-term results.
Red Light Therapy - Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted wavelengths of light to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and support healthy hair growth. Offered as part of our advanced hair restoration services, it’s a safe and effective way to strengthen thinning hair and promote fuller, healthier results over time.
With her holistic philosophy and advanced knowledge, Helen is dedicated to helping clients achieve healthier, fuller hair - and the confidence that comes with it.
