First time at this location and wasn't too sure what to expect. I booked with Ciera for a hair trim and was pleasantly surprised. The salon is aesthetically pleasing, lovely atmosphere & music. I was greeted as soon as I arrived. Took immediate notice of how clean and organized the salon is throughout. Ciera was very welcoming and extremely thorough and professional. Loved how my hair turned out and very pleased with the deep conditioning treatment I received. Had the best overall experience and I highly recommend booking with Ciera. Such a sweet person!

Inspo pics I showed the stylist

Have to say I hate leaving yelp reviews unless they're positive, but I was very unhappy with the knowledge and treatment of the staff I received here last time I went. I really trusted one stylist here, and on a budget, I tried to find a way to go from blonde to light red. The stylist I wanted to visit, who helped me achieve a really amazing blonde color in the past (while giving amazing service with tons of knowledge and was great at communicating) was kind enough to recommended that to stay within my budget, I use a level 1 stylist, which was significantly more affordable, and she let me know she'd be there the same day as the less experienced stylist. I went to the appointment really hopeful that my hair would turn out great trusting the more experienced stylists recs. During the visit, I asked my stylist if we should highlight my roots before using an all-over red gloss because I knew they were much darker from the rest of my color and I've been going from blonde to red for a while. She said it would just look like a natural red ombré if we didn't highlight them, so I trusted her recommendation. Whoops. When I was checking out, I mentioned that some of the hair strands looked blonde while some looked red and parts of my hair still looked brown at my roots. She said that was just because of the depth of color.... I left pretty sad, feeling awkward about saying much at the time because I was trying to convince myself she was right. But when I got home and saw my hair again, it seemed faded, uneven in color all over, and like it was done by a person without enough experience. I am aware I should have considered this before using a level 1 stylist, I just thought that since these stylists go through lots of intense training, she'd have enough knowledge to make proper recommendations. When I called later that day to ask if there was any way to fix my hair, the person I spoke with was very accommodating and understanding, and offered an appointment the very next day to come in and speak about fixing my hair. She told me I'd be speaking to a stylist from the leadership team. However, when I got there, they assigned me a level 2 stylist, and she also said my hair was fine and "didn't look bad at all," but I was trying to explain that I wasn't happy with the results. She said I'd have to pay for another appointment to highlight my roots and redo the red, which I told her I had asked the original stylist about, but she told me it would look okay without highlighting the roots. She told me they couldn't be sure what was said between the original stylist and me... I left feeling accused of lying, and stupid, like I didn't understand my hair results from the way she explained them to me, and agreed to a call from a manager just wanting to get out of there. Later that day, the manager called me and said there was a miscommunication in my package(?), and they'd be willing to do the highlights at the roots at no charge a few days later, but it would be done by the level 1 stylist that originally did my hair. After asking if I could have someone more experienced and they said no, it was clear they wouldn't help me due to costs and stylist levels. I ended up going somewhere else where I felt more heard, where it seemed like they valued the opinion of the client a bit more. I was so surprised at this experience. I spent $170 for the service plus tip, but it didn't feel like it deserved that much. I really loved going here before, won't be going back.

If zero stars was an option for a rating, Alchemy Color Lab would receive no stars. I did a hair consultation prior to service for was a first time client. My stylist was very confident in her skills and I agreed to the service. After the color, I left in a hair treatment that was to be washed out the next morning resulting in the color being disguised. The next morning, I instantly reached out to the salon for help to correct the color. Salon has no phone service, just text messaging. They mentioned a Malibu treatment for color correction and setting up a time to sit down with my stylist Vega. Delayed responses, limited availability of stylist, and 7 day policy I got a message that they were not the salon for me. Take about customer service- What a joke.

Results

Was very upset with my recent visit. Left with the wrong hair transformation plus damaged hair. I have a really bad sore on my neck and pain all around my scalp that I will be getting check out at an urgent care to see if it's a chemical burn. When asking for a refund the owner was very rude, not understanding, and practically kicked me and my mom out. For whatever customer reads this I'm responding to what the owner wrote. The stylist DID NOT tell me about coming in again to her understanding and mine my hair was done and I did not leave in a mask. When I got home my hair dried up and looked like the picture below so I had to contact her and let her know about my results. I was planning on coming in to have it fixed but instead I communicated with them of how upset I was and how I would like a refund. After having your hair end up like my did after a 7 hour process anyone would be scared to have their hair touched like that again. My hair was damaged period. So yes I did go to another salon to fix it, which they did beautifully and my hair looks way healthier and shiny. At the end up the day, the owner was not understanding of the situation and was being very passive aggressive during the meeting. I don't think anyone would be happy about having a $517 payment to receive what I got in my picture below. I hope the owner learns to be more considerate of his customers who pay a lot of money and put trust into his stylist. It's not the customers fault that the stylist doesn't get the hair color right or cause damage to one's hair. simple.

Brittany M. has been doing my hair for a couple of years now and she recently moved to this salon. She really knows her way around blonde hair and consistently gives me the prettiest highlights. She is also the sweetest person and I feel like she is very considerate (tells me when things are going to cost extra, talks me through what she is going to do, makes me feel comfortable,etc). The salon itself is very cute, and the owner seems genuine and knowledgeable. It is easy to miss because there isn't a big sign but it is right on the corner of 4th and Washington, next to broadway salon. They use Kevin Murphy products and they all smell sooo delicious.

I've been going to Vega for the past few years and she has exceeded my expectations every. single. time. She is SO intuitive and talented when it comes to crafting the perfect combination of cut and color to flatter your features and make your hair dreams come true. (I've included a few pics of previous looks she's done for me as proof of her artistry) On top of being great at what she does, Vega is truly just a lovely and engaging presence, so fun to chat with! If you're reading these reviews trying to choose a stylist, try Vega - you won't regret it. The salon itself is gorgeous and welcoming - I love all the snacks and drinks they offer, the music is always great and the rest of the employees are lovely and seem to be equally great at their work, from what I've observed. I'm moving to Boston soon but I plan on scheduling appointments with Vega whenever I visit Michigan, rather than finding a new stylist in MA. That should tell you everything you need to know!

Kelsey was able to flawlessly correct a horrendous color job gone wrong from another local salon. Returned for a hair cut. Will absolutely keep coming back.

Olivia R.

I've been coming to this salon and seeing Kelsey for 2 years now. I always have a fantastic experience and leave with beautiful hair. Kelsey is always up to the challenge when I come in wanting to try something different. The products they use/sell are incredible as well! My hair has never been healthier. Everyone in the salon is super friendly and does a great job at taking care of clients and making you feel comfortable.

Insta ready!

So I'll start by saying I'm not a natural blonde. Haha. I'm filipino and my hair is naturally very dark, thick and I have a lot of it. I took a lot of pride in my hair and after leaving my old stylist, my hair was okay, but not exactly what I was used to. I wanted to feel confident again. I asked a friend for a recommendation and ultimately I was referred to Brian! I went in for a consult which I found enlightening and helpful. I knew after a moment of chair hopping, I was going to need a color correction. The very friendly staff had me wash my hands and of course I wore a mask to adhere to their COVID Protocols. I met Brian and learned my hair goals were attainable. In general, I just got good vibes all around. I had a 6 hour appointment to get my hair where it needed to be. I quickly learned how detail oriented Brian is. 3 types of lightener (ends, where color banded and scalp) were used to lift and correct my hair based on things like science and common sense. I have not seen my hair look this even in color in over a decade. Others got close, but not like this. Brian helped me choose a shade of blonde that suited my skin tone best. I was under the impression that I could never achieve this type of blonde. He toned me to the blonde gods. I'm very happy and I received a lot of blonde hair education along the way. For those who are looking to go blonde from a very dark natural color, remember man made hair lighteners and colors have their limitations. Although it is possible to go from dark to light rapidly, the integrity of your hair could be compromised. I'm confident that if the blonde I wanted to achieve was not conducive to my hair health, Brian would have told me. I'd rather have healthy hair vs. damaged hair. If there is a negative, I got lost coming back from the bathroom. But, thats my fault for being a moron. I have received many compliments on my hair and I'm looking forward to my next appointment with Brian! (Pic is from his instagram) Also, I'm very thankful I don't need to use purple shampoo anymore. If you want to know why, book an appointment!

Alchemy Color Lab is a nice, clean, and friendly environment. Vega is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She listened to what I wanted and then spoke with me about options and gave me her personal recommendations. I'm over the moon about the vivid red hair color we chose. It's exactly what I wanted for my previous bayalage and gives me the ability to change colors with the seasons. The product(s) left my hair smooth and silky and the color is vibrant and exactly what I wanted. Vega also trimmed just what needed it off. I'm very happy with how my hair turned out. It looks healthy and I was able to keep the length. I purchased several of the products from the line they carry at the store, and I'm happy with those as well. *In the pic my hair is a little messy and not as shiny because it was cloudy and windy out.

If you are looking for a salon who's making sure to practice Covid safety rules I would definitely go for Alchemy. They will buzz you into their facilities helping decrease public walk in traffic. They take your temperature and make sure you wash your hands the minute you enter. They spray all the chairs down after you use them which makes me feel safer. Sam is my favorite hairdresser. She's a true goddess when it comes to colors and always does an amazing job cutting my hair. I highly recommend asking for Sam. She's very nice, respectful and a caring individual.

The only woman I trust with my hair is Sue Hyun, this little Korean lady that I've been going to…read moreall my life. The salon is a bit of a hole in the wall and hasn't been updated since the 90s, but I'm happy her business is still standing throughout this dumpster fire of a couple years now. Sue is honestly the only one I trust though and my entire family has been going to her all my life. While my hair is relatively low maintenance, I still don't trust just anyone with Asian hair so if you're reading this and have Asian hair, I can guarantee you'll be in good hands with Sue and really, if you're in the area, why bother trusting anyone else? My mom has really difficult, curly hair, and even she religiously goes to Sue. Her only minor complaint is that Sue sometimes cuts her hair a little short, but the hair grows out really quickly, so that's typically no big deal. If you don't want slightly short hair, then just tell Sue to cut it a bit longer than you might want and then it'll hit perfectly where you want it to. My parents live out of state now, and when they were getting ready to leave, the only thing that made them really emotional to leave Michigan was having to leave Sue. They live in southern California now and even there, they have not been able to find anyone they love like they did Sue, they have barely even found anyone that they tolerate. LOL Every time my parents come back into town, they make sure one of their first stops is getting a hair cut from Sue! Sue is so sweet and always loves seeing them. When I go in for a haircut, which is typically not when my parents are in town, she always inquires about how my parents are doing, which is so thoughtful of her! Sue speaks very little English, she is Korean. My family and I are not Korean, so we mostly communicate with Sue through very short sentences, phrases, and lots of hand gestures! If you're first generation like I am and are used to dealing with your parents' probably broken English, you'll have a pretty easy time communicating with Sue - no worries! Her salon has always been at this location and it definitely looks a bit worse for wear these days. There are those perm chairs (what's the actual term for these) and stacks of old haircut magazines in corners and the space is actually really huge, but all that matters these days are the mirrors and haircut chairs, which is what continues to be well maintained, so I don't really pay much attention to the rest of the space for that matter. Lastly, Sue's pricing is also SO fair and seriously reasonable. When I told a different hairstylist what I pay at Sue's, she was truly shocked and was basically like yeah hold onto that as long as you can! You truly won't find a better haircut for a better price anywhere around here. I love Sue and honestly in writing this review, I am jonesing to get my haircut now - I am overdue for one, so see you soon, Sue! :)

Got exactly what I asked for. Good quality, underpriced. Would like to mention, no credit but if…read moreyou forget cash she also accepts zelle.
