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…
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 discovered Mea the esthetician on TikTok. I had no idea that Knoxville had such a beautiful salon! Is very appropriately named. It’s just a magical building. It’s just beautifully decorated. I feel like I am going into a magical retreat and Mea is truly extraordinary. My skin has never looked or felt this good.…
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…
I have never been satisfied with my hair until visiting Alchemy Salon! I absolutely love Alchemy Salon! Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxing, and feels like such a little escape. My experience with the esthetician was amazing, 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!
My daughter saw Abby today for a haircut and she did an amazing job! Very happy with it! She was professional and polite. Would definitely recommend her and this salon. A+!!
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.
Jessica is outstanding! She is a pro with color and thick short hair. I moved to Ktown a couple of years ago and came to her with bad cuts and color from various stylists prior to Jessica. She is correcting all the mistakes others made and my hair is looking great again! Her shampoo lady also did a great job too.
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
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!
Wow what an elegant salon! It made me feel that I was in a magical place. Nicole did a beautiful job meeting my hair needs. My favorite part was getting my hair washed! The lady massaged my scalp which made me feel so relaxed! I always receive 100% satisfaction and nothing less!
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.
My daughter and I had head spa experiences with Mea at Alchemy and we could not have been more happy or impressed! It was a fantastic experience all around. Mea really delivered on whatever each of us wanted out of our individual experiences and made us feel so comfortable. The price point as so much more affordable…
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!
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.
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…
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.
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.
