I have been going to Jessie at Alchemy for around two years and absolutely love how I look and feel every time I leave her chair! She's SO thoughtful about achieving the look I want while keeping upkeep and styling low maintenance. The vibe of the salon is comfy with great music and great conversation. I recommend Alchemy, especially Jessie, to anyone who compliments my hair (which happens a lot!!) read more

I went for a curly cut and the results were amazing! I walked in and of course greeted very kindly and felt eager to be there. Maya did an amazing job. I had very long and dry curls. I was a bit nervous since it was about 3 years since I had last cut my hair. Once she was done I felt confident and my hair was so much healthier! read more

Has a great first time experience here! I just moved to Houston and needed to find a new salon with an amazing vibe for my occasional blowouts, and this salon was just what I needed. I'm super excited to book my next appointment!! read more

I have been Maya for over 2 years and she is incredible! Always so nice and does my hair perfectly. She is a great conversationalist and excellent at cutting and styling hair. read more

As a fine, thin and flat haired girl, I am so glad I sat on Malanie's chair! I booked a haircut session with her and I truly did not know what I could do to shape up my hair. Malanie patiently took time to help me understand what cut would look good with my hair, also taking into account how I wear my hair AND what I liked/ disliked from my past history of haircuts. I always got layers that would lay flat on my hair and eventually just somehow disappear but Malanie's expertise really popped off by giving me the perfect layers! It is safe to say, I left out of her chair LOVING my hair! My hair truly has never looked better, I actually have volume, layers and bangs that fit me to a tee! read more

Guyssssss.. I have been through a journey with my hair. I can't even begin to describe the trauma I have had with paying hundreds of dollars at expensive salons, just to end up spending another hundred dollars in products to go over it with Sally Beauty or box dyes. I have always shared inspo photos and struggled with other stylists listening to my desires for keeping my length and giving me non-ashy blonde tones. I always ended up with short hair and/or exactly what I didn't want. I've never found anyone who listened enough to what I envisioned for my hair. I let my hair grow out for the last two years and have been so nervous to try again. I found Patricia and Alchemy Salon on IG/Google and the reviews were great. Not going to lie, I was nervous since I didn't see a lot of her work on her page but I just had a good feeling and decided to give it a go. Full transparency, I almost cancelled multiple times leading up to my appointment. Lol the trauma was real. From the minute I walk in, Vina was sooooo sweet and welcoming. Offered me beverages multiple times (they had mimosas!) and always made sure I was comfortable. Patti talked me through all my fears, my hairs' history and eased my anxiety pretty quickly. I fought myself to trust the process and the whole way she was always checking on me. She gave me exactly what I wanted and Vina finished my hair off with the most amazing styling/waves. In the end.. it all paid off! I am beyond thrilled with my hair, the service and with the entire experience. I'm definitely a lifelong customer. I'm so happy I didn't give up on my hair journey. If you've been burned by salon trauma.. give Patti a shot. Her and Vina definitely helped heal mine. read more

I made an appointment for a haircut with Julie. I also scheduled a free consultation, where we went through styling and coloring options. She was very attentive, friendly and took great care of my hair. Not to mention, this was the most relaxing hair-washing experience I have had at a salon in YEARS. Definitely coming back for future appointments. If you are looking for a stylist that cares about their clients and leaves you with amazing results, book with Julie!! Tambien, si hablas Español, hacer una cita con Julie! read more

Shannon helped me even out my undercut regrowth and brought my grown out blonde to a gorgeous rose gold. She is very technically skilled in the art of a perfect cut and I love it how she explains her process along the way. Why she's doing certain things, etc. Highly recommend! read more

Patty is my girl! She's been doing my hair since 2018. Every time I come into the salon I'm greeted with great hospitality :)

One of the best haircuts I've had. My hairstylist was Vinna! The attention to detail by her was on point. She took her time and did a fantastic job. Plus I got some beers while I was getting my haircut. I love the atmosphere the salon had and the staff were super friendly. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Vinna for your next haircut you won't be disappointed! read more

This was a fantastic salon experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is clean, open, and inviting. The overall vibe was very positive and welcoming, with impeccable customer service. Jessie gave me literally the best haircut of my entire life and I'm so grateful! She turned my awkwardly-growing-out mess of blocking terraced, half hearted waves into a layered, bouncy landscape of happy curls that look delightfully intentional but still require little to no effort from me. My shoulder length hair actually looks longer now than when I went in! She is also a lovely human and I genuinely enjoyed the whole process. Cannot recommend her and the salon highly enough! read more

I loved coming here! Such a welcoming vibe. I was attended by the lovely and attentive Vina! I went in for a haircut and loved every minute of it, so much so I ended up falling asleep TWICE during the appointment - once while getting my hair washed (which felt so heavenly) and the other while getting my haircut. The fact that I felt comfortable enough to close my eyes (even if accidental) while getting my haircut speaks volumes on how confident I was in Vina being able to achieve what I wanted. I'll deffo be coming here again! read more

I love this place! Maya is an amazing up and coming stylist! Make sure you stop by!! Everyone here is so friendly, they are honest and genuine with their suggestions and recommendations, and always listen so well and give me exactly what I want. My new favorite spot in Houston for all my hair care needs. read more

It's been over a year since I last got a professional to do by hair because of a previous color appointment that ended up with my hair completely damaged and breaking off. After recently moving to Houston I decided it was time to get over my hesitation and book a curly cut. I booked with Bex & all I can say is THANK YOU BEX! Bex examined my hair and offered me different options as a solution. I was pretty set on the chop but she also toned the color so it looks so much better! Bex explained every step & technique along the way and taught me all types of new information. It was also really nice getting to know each other a bit during the appointment. Thanks to Bex I have my confidence back & can look forward to doing my hair instead of scared about it. read more

It's been awhile since I did any type of color. Blaine freshened my hair with a cut and added some color!! I am in LOVE with it!! The salon is located in the East End and is adorably cute and fun. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Music is popping and everyone is in such a good mood. Blaine is the best!!! It wasn't awkward and we pretty much talked the whole time. He makes you feel gorgeous, beautiful and so good about yourself. His positive energy is contagious and I left feeling so great. Ps. The scalp massage he gives is AMA-ZING!! You can see his work on instagram at https://instagram.com/the_hair_sensei?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= read more

I have been looking forward to getting balayage highlights again after letting them grow out because my hairdresser quit working to have children years ago. This morning I was Jackie's first appointment, and I was so excited based on previous reviews! Alchemy has a cool urban vibe with parking. The AC was not working (a bit of a problem once it got past noon and 90+ degrees out), but something that couldn't be helped. I do not care for the teasing technique because it made an absolute mess of my hair! It took 2 people to comb through all the tangles while rinsing. Also the highlights are way too blond and not the caramel that I asked for and showed pix of. Jackie said I could come back to get them more to what I wanted. The prices are NOT AT ALL clear until it is time to check out. What I thought was going to be $170 service turned out to be $270 plus a tip!!! I might return to get more toner added (an inconvenience) but sadly I have not found my forever salon. Below is what I asked for and what I got. read more

This is the first time I've ever gotten a professional hair cut (I was a Supercuts kid and adult). The woman I had, who I can't remember the name of, was so sweet and gentle with me when I didn't have the right verbiage for what she was asking of me. It was fantastic. I don't think I've ever had someone wash my hair so well. The vibes and music were off the charts and my hairstylist respected that I'm a more quiet client. I do like to hear the others chatting around me though. I've sent a friend to there recently and he also had a great experience. They do men too! read more

Jin nailed it! My haircut appointment was at 11:15am, and I told Jin I had two Christmas parties this evening, the first one starting at 6:30pm. He styled my hair 7 hours in advance and set me up so that, while getting ready, a few strokes of my wide comb would give me exactly what I asked for: face framing loose waves. PERF. And he assured me the style would last. This pic was taken at party number two at 10pm. Fantastic job! read more

Extremely sad to write this review honestly but here we are. Photos labeled I returned to alchemy salon not once. But twice. Both with similar expectations. The first time I went my hair was done by Jacky the salon owner herself. I asked for a nice rich orange based copper... which I didn't exactly get . The ends were a dead dusty color. And it was pretty lack luster, even though the bayalage was perfectly Executed. Today I returned to take my copper hair that I did myself. To a nice pink color. ( I will not be naming the stylist ) We spent 2 hours gently lifting my hair in baby lights to a level 6 which was still pretty warm. After proceeding to put a pink on my hair. My hair turned dark and I mean DARK brown. Then with much scrubbing a "copper" color was applied to my hair. All the while I'm being told it looks perfect and no worries. I asked multiple times if any red was being used in the copper and she reassured me there was 0 red. After we washed my hair out. My hair was now 3 shades darker than what I went in with. And honestly looked of inky box dye which even Jacky (and the hairstylist at hand ) agreed with. I was told " we don't like your hair and neither do you, we're sorry that this happened" my hairstylist proceeds to tell me how horrible she feels about this and I told her I know she didn't intentionally ruin my hair but at this point I'm wordless and at the verge of tears. I now have slightly damaged hair ( as to be expected ) but for absolutely no reason as my hair is 10X darker than what it was. I was then told that I would be discounted and could return for her to try to fix her mistake for a THIRD time. Since the correction didn't go right either. Mind you trying to keep my hair integrity intact. I then proceeded to explain how I didn't feel it was fair of me to be charged since I probably wouldn't be returning again. At this point. I've tried and I can't seem to get what I want at this salon. Jacky then started to explain to her artist in front of me how the shop would compensate her since she put so much time into my hair, as if to guilt trip me (But yet I'm sitting here with ruined hair) The stylist and I both sad and unhappy with how the day went I go to leave. Minutes later I receive a text from Jacky saying how I am not welcome back to the salon. I'm ASSUMING it's because I didn't end up giving them money?? So, I leave with the ruined hair. Which Will take me time, money, patience, to get back to what I HAD not even what I went in there wanting. But I'm supposed to still pay for a service that was never Executed or fixed. I left with unstyled untrimmed hair, I didn't get anything extra or ask for anything extra. Other than the color I never received. The first AND second color. That just does not seem right to me what so ever. I was literally in tears in this salon. And had even planned on reaching out to the artist privately because of how bad it ended up when neither one of us expected it. But following the text message I received. I'm not even going to bother. read more

I'm emotionally attached to my hair, so it's difficult for me to trust others to cut it. Bex did exactly what I asked for, made a few suggestions that were completely okay for me to turn down or accept, and my hair turned out even better than I was hoping! It's shiny, healthier, and I left with tips on how to maintain that. She also gave a short massage while shampooing which was . And, she was easy to speak with as well, which always makes an appointment better. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Shannon has been doing my hair for two years. I moved to Houston and was terrified I wouldn't be able to find someone who could handle my massive amount of hair and someone who was priced reasonably. Shannon has handled my mop of a head like a pro and her prices are on point. You MUST go see Shannon. She's gotten me back to my blonde roots (pun intended) and I couldn't be more excited. Plus she doesn't fight me too hard when I don't want to cut my hair for months on end. read more

Love my experience each time I come in for an appointment with Blaine! Blaine is absolutely incredible and really takes the time to ensure you look and feel your best. The first time I came to see him was for a haircut and he really brought my hair back to life after so much prior damage my hair had went through from constant coloring. I came back a few months to get my hair balayaged after seeing some great work he did on past clients on his Instagram. I showed him a few pictures of the color I was going for and he absolutely nailed the color in just a few hours. He also gives the best head massages while shampooing and rinsing your hair and makes you feel so relaxed with his warm/bubbly personality, attention to hair detail, and just his overall pure talent :) read more

got my hair cut by jesse and when i came home my hair was completely uneven from the back. while getting my haircut i told her that ive gotten a bad haircut in the past and how im very hesitant to try a new place due to that. she assured me that everything was good in the back and curled my hair and i left. a couple days after i washed my hair and straightened it. come to find out that my hair is completely uneven in the back and it looks bad. i paid $75 for a botched service. also i told her i wanted to cut two inches and she cut like 4 inches. wouldn't recommend this salon read more

Blaine is AMAZING!!!! This salon is amazing. Music is great. He did exactly what I wanted to my hair. I cannot wait to come back.

Was in town for a convention and needed a quick blowout. Online booking, affordable, and plenty of availability to get me in and out in an hour! My stylist Vina was engaging and gave an amazing head massage. Curls are lovely and we did an add on conditioning treatment to revive my hair for the week. Highly recommend for this service!. 5 min Uber to convention center! read more

It's hard to put into words how happy I am with my hair. It hadn't been done professionally in over 4 years and had 2 years worth of box dye damage. They were open and honest with me from the start and didn't hide the fact that I probably wouldn't end up with what I wanted due to the fact that I had box dyed my hair. They use quality products and your hair health is their top priority. I cannot express how grateful I am to the whole staff. From the moment you walk in you can feel the positive environment and atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and the fact that even the owner would greet and check out customers at the front says a lot. 10000% recommended. They also do a lot of charity work, attend fundraisers and are involved with the community. The owners are absolute gems and down to earth genuinely good people who run an amazing business here. You can tell their employees are happy and treated well which is ultimately reflected into their work ethic. Love love love this salon and I will definitely be returning. read more

Alchemy Salon Houston - Copper Balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

The worst haircut I've ever received, and I had the Rachel haircut in 1996. Seriously, I have no idea what I said or did to deserve such a butchering. I asked Shannon to cut my hair to an inch below my jawline. She cut it more than an inch above my jawline. She tried to gaslight me about the length and told me it was fine. Two weeks later it's still far above my jawline. Alchemy might be slightly cheaper than other salons in Houston but it's money down the drain. Bad loud music, bad vibe, why bother? read more

I loooove this salon! Environmentally aware, and I've never had a bad hair day once leaving here. They recommend the best products that work for you, and even got me hooked on Olaplex which I swore was too expensive for me, but OMG it's so so worth it I've recognized. Stephanie did my hair and gave me some sun kissed hair for the summer and I've been in love! She did a phenomenal job and I like it more than my natural hair now which is rare for me because I love my natural dark chocolate! Thank you Steph!! read more

Omg where do I start!? I was looking for a legit hair stylist close to me in Houston. I ended up finding Stephanie's Instagram page through a hashtag and reached out to her. She was super nice and helpful when I messaged her. Then during the appointment I showed her a picture of the color I was aiming for and girllll let me tell you! I was shooketh when she was done!!! She exceeded my expectations! I was soooo happy with the result, had me looking bomb! Can't wait to book with her again she's awesome! read more
