Northampton Salon: A Sanctuary for Authentic Expression
In the heart of Northampton, a hairdresser named Helinnê Hindle has been making waves in the local community. With over 16 years of experience, Helinnê runs Alien Hair, a salon that is more than just a place to get a haircut. It’s a sanctuary where clients can be their true and authentic selves.
Six years ago, Helinnê decided it was time to go independent, to create a space that was entirely her own. Located in Wiles Studios on St Edmund’s Street, Alien Hair is a testament to her unique vision. As a specialist in vivid and lived-in colour, Helinnê has a knack for creating “weird and wonderful” styles that reflect her clients’ individuality.
At James Anthony, we admire Helinnê’s commitment to creating a calming and judgement-free environment. Her approach resonates with our own ethos of providing a personalised and comfortable experience for our clients. Just as Helinnê empowers her clients to express themselves through their hair, we strive to help our clients find homes that reflect their unique lifestyles and personalities.
Helinnê’s dedication extends beyond her salon. Last year, she hosted a fundraiser for Animals In Need Northamptonshire, demonstrating her care for the wider community. This sense of community spirit is something we at James Anthony deeply value. We believe in giving back to the Northampton community that we are proud to be a part of.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Helinnê has remained resilient. Her proudest achievement? “To still be in business after Covid and doing it all on my own with no one to help.” This resilience is something we can all learn from.
As we move into 2025, Helinnê is excited to continue her charity work and to keep providing a safe space for her clients. We at James Anthony look forward to seeing what she does next. After all, we’re not just about property – we’re about people, and the vibrant community that makes Northampton such a special place to live.
