Alchemy has created a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. The processing room is calm and quiet…and the shampoo room? Darkened, comfortable, and so relaxing. Be sure to accept the warm neck towel that was infused with peppermint oil and enjoy the relaxing shampoo process. I have had my hair done now by both David and…

I've been going to alchemy now for 5+ years and so happy they've added an esthetician, Mea, to their team! It's one thing to have a go-to salon that super cozy and has an awesome crew but now I get to spoil myself with skincare too!

Brittney is awesome. Abigail has cut my hair before too, and she's great as well. Yohana did my blowout last time, and she was excellent. I would guess you can't go wrong with any of the stylists here, but I really love having Brittney color and cut my hair 💛🧡

DAVID! David has been my go-to for years now, I followed him to Alchemy and what a great move! The space is warm and moody (vs the clinical and cold feel of my previous salon) and David is a skilled and wonderful specialist that I trust to take care of me and my curls.

The salon has a great vibe, relaxing and current. I would go to any of the staff at Alchemy Salon, they are all great. Nicole does my hair, easy to talk to and an excellent stylist I also see Mea for my facials and waxing, she is amazing and I’m super excited to try the Head Spa very soon.
