Had a wonderful experience at Alchemy! I saw Molly, and she was a delight! She took more time with me and my hair than anyone ever has, and explained everything she was doing perfectly. I feel like I left with the perfect style for me, as well as the knowledge/products to be able to do it myself between visits. I'll be back for sure!
