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. Asks what are my desires of each visit. Half a year ago I requested a pixie cut and he was so enthused, and accommodating. I always…
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 💛🧡
first off, the salon is amazing! from the front desk experience to the decor to all of the stylist being so friendly. Haley specifically is so amazing and can do literally anything asked of her, no matter the hair type or color! overall 100000/10, 5 stars, absolutely superb experience all around!!
This place is gorgeous and well staffed. Aby was my stylist and went above and beyond to make my experience great. She was efficient, yet thorough, and I absolutely love my cut and highlights! Highly recommend Alchemy and Aby in particular. She’s so pleasant!
Haley gave me back my favorite haircut!! She is amazing and so sweet! I love the magical feel of the shop. It’s absolutely charming.
Alchemy is my go to place for all things hair care. Haley is always so great and I’ve never walked away without absolutely loving my hair!
Where do I begin? What a wonderful environment! From the moment I walked in I felt pampered! I’m new to Knoxville and I needed a great salon and I found it! David is amazing! He looked at the picture I brought in and listened to what I wanted and he made magic! I left looking like a new person! This is my salon home…
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
I recently relocated to TN so I'm excited to have found an amazing salon. Such a great experience! I love the atmosphere and services. This place is totally my vibe!
Nicole and Mea are amazing as always! Thank you so much!
If I had to describe this salon in one word? "Magical". I LOVE love love LOVE this salon! The ambiance from the moment you walk in the door is like walking into a scene from Middle Earth; it's so whimsical. My stylist, Bo, is next-level incredible. Every time I visit, she somehow makes my hair LONGER. It's…
I had a beautiful haircut and deep conditioning treatment done here and it was great. Can’t wait to come back!
Haley is a joy to interact with. I look forward to my next relaxing interaction.
Shout out to Haley at Alchemy Salon for making my hair look gorgeous! The entire visit was a luxury experience from start to finish. Haley is so talented and easy to talk to, and the salon's atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I left feeling so much more confident with my new look. Highly recommend!
I always choose Jessica. Very talented. The atmosphere is fun and relaxing.
First of all, what a cute salon! The vibe was chill and cool- a great place to pamper yourself. I saw Haley for my cut and I highly recommend! Haley has not only skill, but also great chat so the time goes by so easily. The hair wash (always my fav part) was excellent. I could have fallen asleep! Haley gave me…
Jessica at Alchemy Salon gave me a fantastic haircut and style today. It was my first visit and I could not be any happier with Jessica at Alchemy Salon.
Beautiful and whimsical salon ✨ Haley is professional, kind, friendly and made me feel right at home. She took great care of my hair!
Haley was awesome! She rescued my hair after a previous bad haircut. The shampoo was so relaxing and smelled amazing. The whole salon has a woodsy forest vibe that’s very serene and relaxing. I will definitely be back!
My favorite salon in Knoxville! Won't go anywhere else. Great energy, great service. They always make me look and feel beautiful!
Molly and David continuously do fabulous hair! I was nervous about finding a new stylist after moving to TN, but they made us feel welcome and ensured our style and hair care needs were met. We won’t go anywhere else.
Excellent results! Haley was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. Alchemy was inviting from the moment I stepped through the front door—they even greeted me by name. I felt welcomed and well cared for from start to finish. Well done, Alchemy and thank you!
Absolutely the best color I’ve had. Haley was phenomenal. This is the first time I went to a salon and walked out with the color I wanted. Haley took her time and listened. The atmosphere is relaxing and the ladies at the front desk are welcoming. I highly recommend Alchemy Salon.
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.
I went in for an appt with Nicole. She was amazing!! I left with exactly the cut I was looking for. She gave me tips on how to make the cut work for my hair and made sure I was happy every step of the way. The atmosphere was also so relaxing and fun. Have finally found my stylist!
Lovely ambiance, great service, very friendly staff, no complaints. Left relaxed and happy.
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.
Abigail is awesome!! This was the most relaxing hair appointment I have ever had. The salon is beautifully decorated and despite being busy, the atmosphere was still calm. I loved the shampoo room and the thoughtful addition of a warm towel to rest your neck on. Abigail knew exactly what I wanted and did not rush…
I absolutely love this place !!! Brings me to a happy space in my soul. Great aromatherapy and greats hands when it comes to hair cuts from Haley 🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽🤍 Curly hair and straight hair ✨
I only wish I had knew about this place sooner! I don't plan on ever going to another salon again. Nowhere else I have ever been has matched the kindness, warmth, professionalism, and comfort of this salon! Hayley did a phenomenal job cutting my hair, was friendly, and personable! When I first walked in I was taken…
i love this salon!! all of the stylists are talented, kind, and so helpful!! i always leave with healthy beautiful hair.
Brittney was great, and the salon's atmosphere is wonderful. I felt very comfortable, and can't wait to come back. It was nice to have someone I could literally say "I have no idea what to do about my hair" to who then didn't sound taken aback or unsure what to do.
Excellent services. Friendly staff. They offer water and tea. I have a lot of hair and Nicole can do a blow dry in 1 hour. Other services I have used: brazilian hair straightening, eye brows, and eye lash lift! I was happy with them all. My mom also went there and loved it. The atmosphere is super relaxing and I…
went to david and he did an amazing job with the cut and especially the color on my curly hair. looks exactly like the picture i showed him and recommended amazing products. he knows what he’s doing
The front desk staff was very friendly, the salon was gorgeous and Molly was very professional, friendly and did a wonderful job with my haircut. So happy with my experience. Will definitely be back.
Went in for a cut with David. Wanted someone who understood natural curl, and David is it. He heard my concerns, knows what he's doing, and affected exactly what I wanted. Gave me complete confidence in returning.
I went here for the first time on Saturday and booked a haircutting appointment with Molly. Their online booking system was incredibly easy and efficient! Molly was just as great, and the small head massage while getting shampooed upped the whole experience for me. They use fantastic products (that smell amazing and…
I am a huge fan of Alchemy. The most calm and relaxing atmosphere! Great products for sale. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
