Shereen has become my go to stylist! Her aptitude with color is outstanding. As a former stylist myself I am very picky. But Shereen nails it each time, both cut and color. As you can imagine my curiosity being a former stylist I like to watch others at work. Watching all the stylist at Alchemy has shown me a place full of talented people. You can't go wrong here.

Curly haired girls always have a hard time finding someone who specializes in our type of hair. When my long-time stylist decided to not get vaccinated I had to start a new search. Holy cow! I can't say enough good things about Alchemy. First, my safety was their number one concern. Everything was spotless and everyone was masked Everyone is also upbeat, considerate, and ready to help. My stylist Jeremiah is a dream. He listened carefully as I described the look I wanted, suggested a cut I would not have considered for myself, worked quickly and treated me with absolute respect. He was amicable

My stylist was Leah!
Queen of multitasking! She went above and beyond I cannot express how much she managed to do and yet still managed to satisfy to the fullest. She helped jump in when my original stylist had a medical emergency. She knows what she’s doing and is very kind. I was amazed how well she was able to do so many things at once and not fail to impress. She worked on half my highlights with no issues which was amazing(no breakage!) She toned my hair as well with little to no issue. Then the haircut. She was so patient, and quick, and gave great advice since I am indecisive. She was

I never do google reviews but considering how happy I am and that it is all due to my visit to this salon, I think it is well deserved. This was my first time experiencing a real salon and could not be any more satisfied. LEAH IS AWESOMEEEE!! I literally wanted to to cry at how good my hair looked when I saw the outcome. I have always gone to less traditional + cheap haircut-shops since I was very young and never felt as happy with an outcome the way I did today. I not only felt well taken care of but also felt that I had an actual say on how I wanted my hair throughout the process, which is something

Came in for a quick freshening up of my hair (very short cut; was getting a bit "Wolfy" lol) my wonderful stylist was Mrs. Alvina. She is effortless with her talent! And absolutely wonderful! Looking forward my next visit:)

Brittany has done my hair twice now in the past year. First time (April 2019) she KILLED it with amazing colors like purple, blue, pink
I loved the brightness of them and they lasted a long time. I just went back (March 2020) and Brittany did an even better job this time with more natural colors. I have gotten compliments on my hair by both my husband and strangers. Thank you Brittany!! Both photos are from this most recent visit.

I went back for my first color touch-up since I started getting color. Saw Val, who did an incredible job matching my roots to my existing color in my hair. She patiently explained the answer to every question I had throughout the process. Her attention to detail was wonderful. I couldn't be happier!

This review is about Shereen and her assistant, who i can't remember her name, but she was lovely. oh! maybe Biyanni?
anyways, i have so much anxiety around going to the salon for many reasons. but i had a good, relaxed feeling immediately here, and got good vibes from Shereen right away though.
i wanted to go really blonde. Like, silvery blonde, which i know is super difficult, and have tried many times to get some shade of blonde that i'm happy with. i loved that she had a positive attitude about it and said she was really gonna try her best, while still being honest with me about the

Desiree is amazing with cuts and color! I have fine curly hair but the Deva cut isn't right for my hair and Desiree understands that. She gives me the exact shape and style I want. I have naturally dark hair with tons of grey coming in. I figured it was time to start embracing it. My ultimate goal is to have tons of gray highlights that will look natural as my grays come in. Because I've been coloring my hair dark for so long, I knew this wouldn't be a easy task. I first got highlights at another salon because I was impatient and Desiree wasn't available. They weren't

Appointment at 11:00. We were five minutes early. The receptionist did not tell us until 11:10 that the stylist was "running late." The stylist, Gwen, came out at 11:25, "Oh, so sorry, my appointment ran long." I was upset, I expressed that I was upset. I wasn't sure I wanted to stay, she wants me to "get it together" so it can be a good experience, but now the experience is cut by 30 minutes instead of the hour I had scheduled and I have work I have to get back to... she says, "What do you want to do," and I said, "Let's just get it cut

Excellent customer service. Came in for a cut and color. The shampoo was great! Attention to detail. Very friendly. When i came in receptionist was nice. Stylist was friendly an open to my ideas.
Why 3 stars though? The next day, i got a horrible neck pain from the shampoo bowl. Please cushion the neck area better!!
Small but spacious area.
I'll be back!! First time here recommended from a friend.

Went to a senior stylist to get my blonde hair darkened to brown. It was dyed dark red. I called the manager to get a refund after they tried to fix it. She did refund me and told me I shouldn't see that specific stylist again...
I've been going there for a few years and the best part about Alchemy is the shampoo massage chairs.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a chance based on the high number of 5 star reviews.
Well I give Alchemy 5 Stars for the stylist and service but only 1 star for the price. $70.00 for a hair trim is ridiculous. Plus, appointment was scheduled and they were running 10-15 minutes behind schedule. Not a fan of late appointments especially when I arrived early. Definitely not worth my hard-earned money. Nothing against the stylist because she was great but nothing special. Sorry, Alchemy was a Yelp bust.
