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…
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!
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 am not usually one to review places, and I’ve been to Alchemy multiple times without any problems and complete satisfaction. However I’m unsure if my stylist, Haley, was having a bad day or was juggling too many things at once, but upon asking for blonde (and reassuring her that I was totally fine with multiple…
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…
Haley is a joy to interact with. I look forward to my next relaxing interaction.
Everything is always perfect here.the atmosphere really makes me relax.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 ✨
Alchemy salon is warm, inviting and overall delightful place! I travel 1.5 hours to bring my granddaughter there. We see Abigail Turner and she’s outstanding. We show her a picture and she nails it perfectly every time. We all know how picky teens are and she never disappoints! That is why we travel to see Abigail!
i love this salon!! all of the stylists are talented, kind, and so helpful!! i always leave with healthy beautiful hair.
Arionna did an incredible job on my stepdaughter’s blonde back-to-school hair! The color is absolutely perfect! bright, natural, and beautifully blended. She took the time to really listen to what we wanted and made sure my stepdaughter felt comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. You can tell…
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
Molly listened! She pointed out what was wrong with my hair ends and layered my hair and shaped it nicely. She was easy to talk to. The vibe of the salon is so relaxing and eclectic. Loved it!
I am a huge fan of Alchemy. The most calm and relaxing atmosphere! Great products for sale. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Every time I go to Alchemy it is always a wonderful experience! I get compliments all the time on my color, along with is that your natural color?, lol thank you!!! I just recently wanted a new different hair cut so Courtney took my ideas and her expertise and came up with a cute cut just for me! Everyone who works…
Absolutely loved my experience at Alchemy. Haley was incredible. I'm new to the area and have never had long or dyed hair before, so I was initially nervous. She offered thoughtful, helpful advice about caring for curls and even gave great local hiking recommendations. Her communication during the consultation and…
It was my first time . It is impressive how this place is so spacious and has so many different rooms. In each one you feel comfortable and relaxed. In a wash room you are in a reclined chair listening to the yoga/meditation music. Molly was my hair stylist, she listened to my concerns, she was very friendly, quick…
David does a great job with cut and color for my long, thick, curly hair. Love the staff and the products! Thanks for the great service!
Went for my first time and had a great experience. Great atmosphere and people. Hailey did my hair and i couldn’t be happier with it. 100% recommend.
Haley is the best! She’s been doing my hair for a couple of years now and i refuse to get my hair done by anyone else! She does amazing cuts and colors!!
Haley was awesome when doing my hair, super friendly and knew what she was doing
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!
Abigail did an amazing job on my highlight and blowout! She was very thorough and is a very good listener. I totally recommend Abigail for all your hair needs!!!!! 💓

Go see Jessica! Amazing!
Excellent experience. Love the vibe here and also David, my stylist, gives me the best cut and exactly what I asked for. Thanks!
Alchemy is welcoming and relaxing upon entering. I’ve never experienced this in any salon in east TN! Everyone is kind and gives a REAL smile when greeting!! David whom I see has transformed my long hair from ruined, from previous salon, to exquisite!!! I always receive the exact color of blonde I want. My hair is…
Hailey was the absolute best! Just moved to Knoxville and definitely found my new stylist. Thank you!!
I can’t tell you enough how much I love this place. I’ve been going for over 10 years and they have totally transformed my hair. I also get my eyebrows done here. They are the best!. Obviously this picture was taking during Covid.
Had an amazing experience at Alchemy Salon! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to improve their look and wellbeing.
