I'm a travel nurse and I have to find salons all over the country. I got a cut and color from Desiree and I will say that she gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. Her color knowledge was great. I'm so happy andI'm just sorry that my next assignment will not allow me to have Desiree on a permanent basis. read more

After one too many not-great cheap haircuts and a self-inflicted dye disaster, I sucked it up and booked an appointment at Alchemy. Normally I am NOT one for expensive salons, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Desiree gave me a wonderful haircut--she respected the fact that I didn't want to lose a lot of length, yet somehow managed to make it look fantastic. She was booked the rest of that day so I had to schedule a different day for color, but she did an amazing job with that as well. It took a long time to get my hair looking normal after what I had managed to do to it, but the results are worth it. read more

Visiting the area and was very pleased with the friendly and professional staff. I had a color process and trim by Julie and was very happy with her vibrant personality and skill. While having my hair washed the chair had massager in it ( a first for me!) and then she massaged my head... Heaven! read more

Found my stylist!!! I've been there before for color and highlights and it was ok. I decided to give this place another try with a different stylist. I FOUND NIKKI!!! She was very patient and listened to exactly what I wanted. I love my hair. The salon is very nice and trendy. Can be loud but I didn't mind it. read more

I love this salon. The ambiance and service are terrific. If you ever need a haircut, ask for Kate! She even gave me some free samples and a $10 gift card for my next visit. The price is a bit on the steep side but the quality of service makes it worth the cost. They also tend to book up quickly, particularly on the weekends, so make sure to call ahead well in advance. read more

Medinah is AMAZING! I had a need for a wild change and already have quite short hair. I asked for an asymmetrical bob with an undercut on the shorter side. I have never done an undercut so I was nervous but after the best head massage ever from the lady who preps you, and Medinah's talking me through it, I was ready! Thank you Medinah you're aweseome! ALSO: first visit they give you a little gift bag with free samples and a 10$ gift card. read more

I booked a weekday evening appt. I think I asked for Gwen, can't remember now. They gave me a 7:15pm appt with Gwen about two weeks out. I hesitated giving out my cell phone #, as I really try to keep it private/unknown, but with a salon I figured I was ok. One week later I get a text message from them telling me I can follow them/get msgs/something by pushing some code in. I do NOT have a text plan, and so I was completely annoyed that I not only received this msg (couldn't they have asked me this on the phone when I booked with them?), but that I paid for it to boot! Next, I received a confirmation call. Three days in advance. Odd. Yes, I say, I'll be there. The next day I receive a call saying Gwen likes to spend a full hour with a new customer, and so could I come in another time; in fact, Friday at 1pm "would be perfect for Gwen". Gee, they couldn't have backed up my appt to 7pm thereby giving Gwen an hour before closing? It sounded instead like Gwen was looking for a way out of the appt, but just didn't want to come out and say it. Or don't the persons booking the appts know the preferences of their stylists? I then made 5 calls over the next two days trying to reach them. Four calls put me on hold straight away. After 3-4 minutes, sorry, I'm not going to wait. Once I did connect to a live person, only to be put on hold. For 5 minutes. I'm sorry, my cell phone minutes are for people I'm actually TALKING WITH. I have had less time reaching University Presidents/Governmental Division Chiefs then contacting this stupid salon. What I can't figure out is, given the prices they charge, can't they afford to hire another person to work the phones? Sheeesh!! I never got another call back from the salon attempting to rebook. Just that one call. So much for THEM making any effort. read more

I actually found this place thru Yelp over a year ago, and I've been a devoted customer ever since :) Gwyn is the BEST - hands down. She does my cut, color, and she's just basically a friggin badass! :) My stylist for life! read more

Alvina is amazing! She has been doing my hair quite some time now. Very talented and always pleasant to talk to! I would highly check out this salon and Alvina for color! read more

I had several haircuts with Mary Ann. She was very flamboyant and theatrical. She also cut my hair WAY shorter than I wanted, even after I specified my wishes. She thought she knew better than what I requested. Big disappointment. Plus, rates went up from $60 to $90 per cut. Ridiculous. I went elsewhere. read more

I recently moved to the area and have been looking for a new salon. I was excited to find Alchemy and reassured by their reviews. However, those giving high reviews definitely did not have the same experience there that I did. I have been there twice (I thought the first bad experience was a fluke so I thought I'd give them a second shot) and both times have been bad. My first time (in December), I called to make my appointment and explained to the girl on the phone what I wanted (baylayage highlights). I also told her I was new to the area and looking for a new stylist. When I arrived at the salon, she had scheduled me with a stylist that I hit it off with, but who informed me she would be leaving the salon in a week. In addition, the person who booked my appointment did NOT book it properly, so she didn't have time in her schedule to do what I had asked for. So basically, I got my roots touched up and that was it. My second, and far worse experience was this weekend. I arrived 10 minutes early for my 10am appointment to find a very crowded waiting area because they were having a staff meeting. Fine, no big deal (though I would think you'd schedule a staff meeting on a slower day than a Saturday to avoid the crowd). As the meeting ended, stylists began coming out to greet their clients and take them back. I sat and waited and no one ever came for me. At 10:15am (my appointment was scheduled for 10am), I overheard the girls at the desk talking to another stylist about trying to squeeze me in. I went to the desk and asked if something was wrong and was told that my stylist wasn't there and they didn't know until now. How could they not know? They just had a staff meeting. If you didn't see her, clearly she wasn't there! Then the phone rang, and it was the stylist and she said she was almost there. So at 10:20am (20 minutes late), she arrived and took me back. I sat and talked with her for a bit about what I wanted (ombre) and she seemed to grasp what I was looking for. I felt like even though she was late, if my hair turned out good, then that would be water under the bridge. She did my hair in record time (I'm assuming she was rushing to catch up since she was behind) and it seemed to go well. However, when she rinsed my hair and started drying it, I was very unhappy to find that my hair was not "ombre" at all. Basically, I paid ombre prices to have her dye my whole head blond (which is not what I wanted AT ALL). As it stands, I have like 1.5-2 inches of dark root and then the rest blond in the front and then about 4 inches of dark in the back (with some weird, random highlights) and the rest blond. I don't know WHY it's crooked or why it's SO. MUCH. BLOND. but it's not what I asked for or what I saw on their facebook page as far as ombres they have done (unless those pictures are stock photos and not done by their stylists). Now, I will say that I had been booked with a "junior" stylist, but I was ASSURED by the girl who booked my appointment that doing ombre would be no problem. I would have gladly paid full price for a real ombre with a more experienced stylist instead of this mess I got for 40% off (and thank goodness it was discounted because if they had tried to charge me full price for this, I would have had a fit). I'm usually not one to complain, especially about hair salons because I don't want to get stylists in trouble and I want to be able to go back. But, I have tried TWICE to get contact information for a manager at Alchemy to send them pics of my hair and ask that they try to fix it and I have gotten ZERO response. I sent an email through their online email system and I called and sat and waited and waited and no one answered, so I left a voicemail and have not received a call back. Clearly it is not important to them to follow up, so it's not important to me to maintain a relationship with them or protect them or the stylist from the bad review. I will be going to a competing salon nearby for a consultation for fixing their mistakes and I do not intend to return to Alchemy. I suggest that if you are looking for a salon you can trust with you hair, look elsewhere. read more

I moved to the area recently and was desperately in need of some attention to the dead protein hanging off my head. After reading so many good reviews about Alchemy, I decided to try them. I had Gwen for highlights. As you can see by referencing my photo, Gwen did gorgeous highlights on me. I started out a mousy brown at the crown and faded out reddish color on the rest of my head, and ended up blond all over. On a slight negative note, there were supposed to be some subtle baby pink highlights around my face, but they didn't come out. However, I was not charged for that portion of my service, and I'm sure that if I had asked, Gwen would have rescheduled me to do the pink for no charge. I was sort of ambivalent about the pink in the first place, though, since I work at a conservative private school, and was depending on the pink fading out by the end of next month. Jesslyn was my haircuttress, and she was equally wonderful. This girl has a tattoo of a vampire squid on her right arm -- extra points! She basically shaped up my long layers to make them go better with my natural texture and length, and while she worked, she explained what she was doing to my dead protein and why. I also learned all about cephalopods, protein physics, and much, much more, from my extremely intelligent stylist. Bottom line: go to Alchemy if you've got some money in your pocket and need a rockin' do! read more

Very good salon. Alvina is the BEST colorist. She is so talented, a real professional who listens to clients, and delivers exactly the color you are looking for. I highly recommend Alvina if you are looking to color/highlight your hair. She is excellent! read more

I got my hair done for prom here a few years ago and it was AWESOME. I'm usually really picky about my hair and people always make me look super Asian. But my hair was beautiful! Unfortunately, I forget who I got my hair done with :( Maybe Jessica...? Not positive though. Everyone's hair is beautiful in the salon (the stylists, I mean). So how could you not trust them?! They have PERFECT HAIR so expect yours to be perfect too! I would get my hair cut there but it's a bit pricey... I will one day when I feel like shelling out the money though! (I don't get hair cuts often... I like leaving it long). read more

I really wanted to like this place because it is so close to my house, and I was looking for something closer than my usual Bethesda salon. The positives are that the receptionist was nice and welcoming, the space was decent, and the woman who washed my hair (I think her name was Jackie?) was nice and gave a great head massage. But then there was my stylist Johannie. After making me wait 15mins after my appointment time, she greeted me (a first-time customer) pretty coldly. I thought maybe she was having a bad day or something, so I'd try to be pleasant when talking about the cut I wanted. I said I'd like a lot of the length taken off and I wanted layers. Her reaction was so aggressive and unpleasant - "Why do you want layers?!?" I explained that I'd always had them and liked the volume and movement. She said "you don't have any real layers right now." Yes, it had been a long time since I last got my hair cut... After smirking and making me feel stupid for wanting layers I said fine I'd try it her way - a straight cut - but I was afraid of it being boring. I honestly almost walked out at that point because I was feeling like I could take my $80 elsewhere, but I really wanted a haircut so I stuck it out. Some awkward forced conversation later and I had my boring haircut. She asked how I liked it, I said I had to get used to it, she told me she liked it (I didn't realize she was the one who had to be happy with it) and I left after tipping half of my usual $20. I felt badly tipping zero but wish I had. I get that I am paying for some hair styling expertise, but I've literally gotten layers with every haircut at good salons for years, and maybe I look terrible but at least I like it. Isn't that what matters, that the client feels good? I don't feel good with this haircut, and I feel like I was treated rudely for no reason. Really bummed that this place didn't work out. Maybe some of the other stylists are better, but I won't be recommending this place. read more

Went for a haircut and it was crazy loud and fast paced. My haircut was ok but the stylist was short tempered and all about herself. I went back a year later and the previous stylist no longer worked there. Still crazy loud and hyper but the stylist was nice. However, it was if she forgot to shape my hair as she worked to the top and oops! I was left with an almost shave with no transition to a long overhang in the back. Not what I described and I think she got distracted by a baby that was there. I really wanted to find the right stylist there as it's close to my house and shopping. The front desk staff is awesome and the communication/scheduling/follow-up is A+. It's not a relaxing environment and my consultations were hurried and difficult. read more

I love Jesslyn. She's very skilled, my last cut with her not only looked good after she did it, but it also grew out beautifully which is so hard to find. More than that, she's really friendly and easy to talk to and makes the experience a great one from start to finish. read more

This review is for Holly at Alchemy because she is the only stylist I have seen over there for my men's cut after my wife referred me to her. But I can say that the salon is clean with nice amenities and her coworkers are pleasant and friendly..As for Holly, she is fantastic and is very instinctual when it comes to delivering the style you have in mind..she needs very little description from me because of her natural skill and creativity! She is also great conversation and time flies by while you are in the chair. I highly recommend her and the salon. read more

Alchemy did a pretty good job on my hair- I had highlights done for my wedding about a year ago. The reason why I gave 2 stars is because of the service and price. I had the stylist who was very "experienced" according to the front desk (asked for someone who had experience with highlights). But overall had rude service and a high price tag. That being said, if you have a special occasion coming up and are willing to pay, it might be worth it. read more

I just canceled my next appointment at Alchemy. After 4 tries I've decided to move on. Initially I was very excited to discover that Alchemy is very close to my house. I had been schlepping into Rockville for a decent, but not great haircut and it just wasn't worth it. I have very short hair and have lots of cowlicks. When I went in to make an appointment I was told that Gwen would best meet my needs. When I had my appointment, I was encouraged that Gwen understood the need to work with the direction of the hair instead of insisting that it could be molded into going in a different direction. You'd be surprised at the number of hairstylists who try to change the map of one's head. I brought in a few pictures from a magazine to give her an idea of what i wanted, identified my cowlicks, and explained some things about the oddities of how my haiir grows out. As I've lived with for 50 years I know how it's going to grow out when a it's cut bluntly, with a razor, etc. Gwen listened attentively and got to work. Unfortunately, I wear glasses and can't see without them, so I have to hope for the best when I'm in the chair. The cut took a very, very long time, and, in the end, it looked decent I left thinking that for a first appointment it wasn't too bad - next time she would be more familiar with my hair. When I got home and really looked at my hair closeup I wasn't as hopeful . I was cut unevenly, the layers were shorter on the bottom than top, pieces over my ears were askew, and the back of my head was sticking out at odd angles. I paid $80 and tip for that? I immediately called to get an appointment to get it fixed. They had nothing for a week. When I did go in Gwen was very aplogetic and fixed it for me. Before my next appointment I located some pictures I had taken immediately after the last haircut i got in NYC (just before I moved here). Not a picture of someone else's head and hair. MINE. They showed my hair at every angle, closeups, etc. We looked at them together and seemed to be on the same page. Well, we weren't. It didn't work out at all. No more $80 haircuts for me. Next I tried Nate. Again, like all of the staff, he was very nice. I had my pictures with me, discussed the "state of my head", and told him the areas of my hair that grow out fast and strangely. I emphasized that I needed texture, texture, texture. I also told him to cut my hair on the short side as it grows very fast. He acknowledged me with "cool" and. I left the pictures on the counter so he could refer to them. I don't think he did (can't be sure because I didn't have my glasses on). At the end of the haircut, I looked and decided that he hadn't heard what I said. Texture? Short? Nope. I didn't feel like dealing with it so I paid ($51 this time), and went home I looked in my mirror , got out the scissors and started cutting! Still hopeful, and a bit lazy, I decided to try Alchemy one more time. Brought the pictures, went through the whole speech, slowly and clearly, and was again told "cool". I told Nate that I had cut the hair at the back of my neck myself and he got a bit testy and told me that I should come in between cuts and have him fix it. I asked Nate if he wanted me to leave the pictures out. He very clearly said no. Sigh. He ended up cutting off less than an inch. I knew the cut was going to last me about 6 days. When I got home I saw that the hair along my neckline was cut just as I wanted! There would be no need for scissors! Wow. Then I looked at the rest, the majority of which was another story. I willed myself to leave it alone, but within a week it was long and driving me crazy. Out came the scissors. As I was beginning to think that the fault for the bad cuts was somehow mine, a friend who I see on a weekly basis came in with a new haircut. The idea of the cut was a good one, but the execution was awful. It made me feel better about my haircut. When I asked her where she got it cut - ALCHEMY! It was her second cut with Tanya(???). She said that she was very happy with the first one, and couldn't figure out how this one went so badly. She too had spoken with the stylist about what she wanted, thought everything was understood, but with one snip of the scissors too much hair was cut off and there was no turning back. It seems that the stylists at Alchemy need to have a few seminars in listening to their customers. Some clients come in looking for someone to create a new cut and/or style for them. Others, like me, know exactly what they want, and how their hair will support a particular cut or style. I mean, for God's sake, I brought in a picture of myself, not some model or actress who has hair completely different from mine! Maybe they didn't like the cut on me?? (I used to get stopped on the street in NYC and told that I had a great cut, who cut it etc.) Even if they didn't like the cut - it's my hair. read more

The search has ended! I have been a mop-top nomad for months since leaving a certain iconic (and apparently lewd!) DC stylist after 13 years. I had my short list of top-rated Yelp salons and made my calls. Immortal Beloved gave me their voicemail all day Saturday, so Alchemy won my appointment by default. I'm so happy that they did! I decided to try Gwen based on Yelp reviews. She was truly amazing--detail-oriented, unbelievably knowledgeable, well trained--a master of her craft! I was worried about going to a suburban salon and losing my downtown edge. No worries--I look fabulous--salon search complete!! read more

All I have to say is Nikki did an amazing job on my hair. I was visiting my family from Ca and was in need for a short trendy hair cut . She did everything I've asked for and took the extra time to make sure everything looked right. I wished I could of taken her to the Bay with me lol . Thanks again Nikki read more

Thank God for Alchemy!!! After a very bad haircut and color at my regular, expensive Bethesda salon - that couldn't be fixed after another visit, I got on Yelp and found Alchemy. And am so thankful I found reviews that espoused their greatness. I made an appointment with Jody and she took the time to sit and listen and go through my hair - we both agreed it couldn't have gotten much worse. She told me, blatantly so, that it would take a couple of visits to fix. She gave me 2 options to choose from - one was a quick fix, but would be way short, the other was a little fix that would take 2months to really take shape. I chose option 2, because I want my hair long again as soon as possible. She told me it will look good, but not great - which, was dead on - better, but not that immediate fix. However, after a month - I am getting complements left and right - "where'd you get your haircut", "when'd you get your new haircut", "look what you did over the holidays!" Little did they know that it was just my great grow out - just as Jody had promised!!!! I couldn't be happier that she took a really bad cut and fixed it - not only that, the cut and color are a fraction of the cost of my chi-chi Bethesda salon! They're right around the corner, so I don't fight the Beltway. All I need them to do is clean up the food and water area and they're 5 stars! Jody? Well she's a keeper! I'll be following her with a tether for this great "my hair texture may be fine" but now beautiful, volume filled hair! read more

This was my first visit, and I was very nervous, as I've had some bad salon experiences. The color turned out great. And Desirea was a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to my next appointment. read more

they just cancelled my appt at the last minute. most salons will try and work with you but they just apologized and told me to reschedule. well, I needed my hair cut and styled today for a business event tonight, but alchemy didnt care. want be back and won't recommend. read more

I visited Alchemy in March and I must say the salon lives up to the hype!!!! First, the chairs at the wash bowl...AMAZING. I saw Jeremiah for a consultation and haircut. Jeremiah was really nice, attentive and gave me a great haircut. After the trauma of breastfeeding for 18 months my hair was suffering! Jeremiah knew exactly what to do to get my hair on the right track!!! I am going back to him to nurse my hair back to health! I Heart Jeremiah read more

I went to Alchemy for the first time last night and they have officially earned a new, repeat customer! Walking in, I was a little nervous. A lot of the stylists are super hip, with blue and purple highlights, lots of tattoos, and combat boots. Super cool, rock it ladies, but not really my style. But everyone from the receptionists to the shampoo girl to the stylist was so wonderful, down-to-earth, friendly, and attentive! First, I met with Jodi the stylist. I have very curly hair and I've been seeing the same stylist my whole life so I was really nervous but she sat and talked to me for a long time! I feel like she really listened to what I was looking for, what my primp routine is, etc. She asked good questions and gave a really informed professional opinion. I immediately felt at ease and trusted her! Then I got shampoo-ed. Adriana was amazing! Seriously the best shampoo and scalp massage I've ever had. I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed! Then Jodi gave me a great cut! Very simply styled and exactly what I was hoping. And the real test... the next day when I had to style it myself? I did it and my hair looks great! I am SO pleased! I docked one star because it is a lot more expensive than I like to pay for a haircut... but even with the price, I still tipped more than I normally would because the service was fantastic! Thanks Jodie, Adriana, and the rest of the Alchemy staff! :-) read more

Have been going to Alchemy for about 2 years. Jessica does my hair. Since I wouldn't know a chic style if it hit me in the head, I give her free rein with my hair. I always come away loving it, and get many compliments at work. The heated, massage chairs for washing hair are amazing and the teas/cookies/flavored water are refreshing. If you don't like the orange slices, wait and there will be lemon the next day and the last time I was there it was cucumber - delightful!! Would recommend it to everyone. Don't judge a stylist by HER hair. read more

I loved my haircut as well as my experience. Everyone was so welcoming and courteous. It's nice to cento a place where people actually welcome you. The shampoo experience was so relaxing. As for the cut, I am also loving it. Leah did a superb job. And the price was very reasonable. Even though I wi be moving out of this area, I will still come back here! Thanks! read more

It's really hit or miss. I've had great luck with Jesslyn (she's very good), and horrible luck with Nate. Jesslyn is very calm and relaxed and asked about what I did, who I am, what I wanted to go for, how I work with my hair, etc. She was patient and took the time to give me exactly what I was looking for, even though I didn't really know specifically want that was. She gave me great tips for styling my hair, suggested a few products that I ended up loving, and is the hair goddess. I thought "wow, she's good, everyone here must be." I was wrong. Jesslyn is the hair goddess, and Nate is not. Unfortunately, Jesslyn was booked and I had to settle for Nate this time. I'm not pleased. I payed $58 for a TRIM, he didn't touch my bangs because "they're at a weird length," the layers weren't really dramatic at all, and honestly, I got the same haircut I got in the 8th grade. When I voiced my disappointment to him, he gave me this GREAT line -- "I like to create soft shapes and movement. I mean, do you want something edgy?" There is a happy medium between a boring trim and "edgy." I'm in my 20s. I specifically said "polished and professional, interesting layers, and long enough to put in a ponytail, but I'm not attached to length beyond that. I want this to be easy to blow dry." And what did I get? Soft to the point of being boring. His solution to this was to run a flat iron over it and put a lot of goop in it. So right now, my hair is stick straight, looks hideous, and is filled with goop that made it difficult to brush when I got home (necessary after what he called the "tousled look," at which point I decided to just give up). Also, whatever "texturizing" razor thing he did to it gives me the saddest, limpest ponytail EVER. The nice woman at the front desk took my name and number and told me that I could come in later in the week and have someone else fix it. In the meantime, I just payed 60 bucks for a trim while a kind of frumpy, out-of-touch-with-reality dude imposed his vision of "softness" on to my head. I work in a male dominated field. The last thing I need is to go for a sweet, soft, uber-feminine, incredibly boring, halfassedly layered shoulder length concoction of dull. I don't care WHAT your vision is. Don't waste your time with Nate, go straight to Jesslyn. read more

Totally love this place and my stylist Jessica. Always gives an amazing cut. Love the massage chair for the shampoo station. Wish I could get appointments more easily but that's what you get for going to a good place. read more

I have now been here twice and had bad experiences both times. the first time, i thought it was a fluke so i gave it another shot. both times they were running behind and i had to wait 10-15 minutes beyond my appointment time. my first visit - they had not booked enough time with the stylist to complete what i told her i needed (color/cut) and therefore they switched me to another random stylist for my haircut. she was okay but the first one was the stylist recommended to me so i was a bit irritated. overall my hair came out okay. second visit - i arrive and again wait about 15 minutes before they call me back. the stylist i'm booked with (Desiree) was re-doing her previous client's cut because she wasn't happy. fine i understand that. they give me an "apprentice" to start working on my color. not happy. apprentice does not introduce herself and stylist is shouting directions at her from the chair where she is working on last client. does not instill confidence. stylist says, apprentice will get you started and i'll take over when i'm done with unhappy client. stylist eventually finishes and instead of coming over to take me she goes out to the lobby to get her next client! (the one booked AFTER me). i was totally pissed and said something to stylist and she said "well i can't make (client after me) just wait!" Umm why not? you are supposed to work on me. i'm not paying for an apprentice. anyway long annoying story very short because several other things happened, my stylist pretty much barely touched me and i walked out right after they finished my color instead of staying for the hair cut i booked. i was there more than 2 hours just for simple color! yes their shampoo chairs are nice and they give you cookies and candy but their customer service is terrible. i will not be returning. read more

Gwen is wonderful with curly hair. I've been looking for someone good in the DC area for years and have finally found her!

I get the Deva cut from Jodi and it's always a great experience. She listens and has been helping me manage to grow out a super uneven haircut I received at another Deva curl salon. Jodi manages to cut my hair, which is fine but very curly, so that it looks great immediately and while growing out. That takes talent. I can't recommend Jodi enough. read more

I stopped in here at 4:25pm on a Saturday to buy some hair products. The door was unlocked and their online hours said open until 5pm. The woman behind the desk rudely told me that they had just closed and refused to sell me anything. Odd and annoying! read more

Had a great first experience at Alchemy today. Jodi and Carlton made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I appreciated Jodi's warmth, suggestions, and explanations. She did a great job cutting and styling my curly hair. I'll definitely be back to see her again. read more

What a great salon! Excellent service and very modern, my highlights and cut with shereen are always on point. It's quite pricey but I would say it worth it for nice hair. Very clean and pleasant. read more

Mediocre suburban hair salon with one or two good stylists. Roxi Romano gives people a hard time for being late but when the stylists are running late - which is frequent - that's a non-issue. Have had a couple lousy experiences - a filthy towel put around my neck by someone who didn't even blink when it was pointed out, my kid's hair almost pulled out by an aggressive, angry stylist, and one really poor haircut by a senior stylist. Look elsewhere if you can. read more

I just got back to alchemy after a 4 year hiatus after moving and was dying for a good haircut. Roxy cut my hair and I have gotten so many compliments it's ridiculous. She's an amazing stylist who really listens to what you want. :) read more

My first time at this salon and I'm so happy that I found it. Becca was AMAZING with ultra blonde highlights and cut. The salon was up to date and had a relaxed atmosphere. Every receptionist that I spoke to from scheduling the appointment to checking out was super friendly. I will definitely be going back to Becca in 8 weeks. read more
