I have been a recurring customer for over a year, and I will continue to do so. I love my stylist so much, it is always a pleasure to visit. David is always so kind and considerate.

The design of the salon is so beautiful, it reminds me of Academia style! The whole place has such character from the decor to the Alchemists/Stylists. On top of that, when you walk in you are greeted with a smile and a pleasant aroma that reminds me of a spa. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful. I’ve been…

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 💛🧡

Happy hair day with David at alchemy Salon. I have naturally curly hair and it can be terrifying to sit in a hair stylist chair, but since I found David I look forward to my hair appointments. And the salon is so relaxing to visit. After my hair is done I tend to hang out and just look around. Every corner inside…

I truly have never been so impressed by a salon. The decor. The environment & atmosphere. All of it is perfect. I have curly hair and very protective over it (recently lost it all to chemo) so when it grew back, I didn't trust anyone with my curls. But Haley crushed it. Truly she knows how to cut and style curly hair. 10/10 x1000
