Been seeing Imogene for years now and don't trust anyone else with my hair!! I've had terrible experiences before with other hairdressers but once I met Imogene I never left. She has really gotten to know my hair needs and always makes sure that I leave happy! My hair has been the healthiest it's ever been. The salon is so cute and located right off the post road above the Tequila Revolution restaurant. There is a parking lot around back, but if that gets full there is street parking available. Definitely recommend Alchemy for your hair needs! Worth every penny. read more

See all

After pictures and a detailed consultation Mercedes didn't listen to a word I said and obviously got lost in the haircut. I have naturally curly hair and expressed I didn't want it short. Well after cutting one side then the other then said oh I was going to go back and recut one side due to unequal lengths I knew this was going to end badly.walked out!!! read more

Alchemy Salon is consistently outstanding quality and so relaxing, no matter who you see or what service you get. Imogene has taken my hair from waist length to French Bob and back to shoulder length; any color from cowboy copper, to purple and pink face framing colors for Pride. I love the welcoming space she has created over the years, especially the transparent pricing. I've recommended so many people over the years, everyone is welcome. I love knowing my money is supporting a minority owned business, and a bad@ss local Mom to boot! read more

Everything about my experience was wonderful. From easy online booking to my in-salon visit, I felt like I was in good hands. Imogene really understood my hair and what I wanted from it -- it tends towards the fine and thin side, and I left with it look full and luxe. I swear, she must have magic powers lol. Highly recommend. read more

Nice stylist, mellow vibe, but not worth $150 for a basic haircut. I suppose the prices are so high because there are only three stylists.

Wonderful blowout from one of their newest hires Brittany. She is lovely, personable and gives a great scalp massage. I have long thick hair somewhat curly too... and I can be picky about blowouts- I will absolutely return and suggest her to my friends. read more

I had a blow out from Brittany and the whole process was amazing. I felt relaxed and my hair never looked better. She did exactly what I wanted, volume even though my hair is fine and straight. Their products smell so good. I would definitely recommend her and this business and I will be back! read more

I visited Alchemy The Salon for the first time last week after recently moving to Fairfield. DJ did a glaze and blowout for me, he was excellent! Will definitely return soon and would recommend him and the salon to anyone in the area! read more

Very happy with my blowout from Brittany today. She was attentive and kind. She took her time to understand my hair and the entire experience from start to end was relaxing. read more

I couldn't recommend this salon more! I'm recently had a haircut from JD and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend!!

Went a few weeks ago to Ashley, and she was absolutely amazing! My hair came out so perfectly and the salon / environment itself is so welcoming and cute. 100000/10 recommend! You definitely won't leave disappointed. read more

Great color work. Great cut & style. It has been so hard for me to find a stylist since I moved to the area. Finally found it!

I loved Alchemy! It was my first time changing hair dressers in 12 years and Imogene made me feel comfortable, and gave me a fabulous hair cut. Mercedes who washed my hair was also super friendly and sweet! I know I'll be back soon! read more

I believe that the most accurate time to say that you like your haircut is when you've already had it for days and i must say that Mercedes really is so great with what she does! I am so glad that I took her suggestions regarding my cut. I have curly coarse hair so it's not easy to find someone who knows how to cut it. This is definitely my go to salon now! read more

My daughter had a bad experience with Ashley Colica. First appointment was cancelled by text as she was in car on her way to salon. No apology. Things come up but at least be cognizant of your client's time. Appointment was made again 2 weeks later for highlights and a blowout. Now it's "I have another client, I can't do your blowout." Um, no....the appointment included a blowout, not our problem if you double book. Ashley did a very rough blow dry and had the gall to charge $225. Is that the quality that's acceptable to be put out there? Poor experience and unprofessional all around. read more

Roxie cut my hair the other day and I'm happy with my look. My hair was long and lifeless and she added some defined layers and curtain bangs. Really happy to feel refreshed after quarantine. They keep the salon clean and wore masks the whole time so I felt safe to be there for an extended period. read more

I've found the perfect salon! Every time I come to this salon I'm greeted with smiling faces and a welcoming ambience. All of the ladies who work here are lovely. I have seen Mercedes a handful of times and she will go above and beyond to make you happy. She really listens and likes to make sure you have healthy, gorgeous hair! Go here! read more

Amazing salon!!! 11/10 every time. Mercedes is the best (but so is everyone else). Highly recommend.

Kiana is super personable, accommodating and knowledgeable with hair. Highly recommend.

I was so happy with my experience at Alchemy! Imogene, the salon's owner, was kind and responsive and helpful in setting up my appointment. I described what I was looking for (blonde highlights, a gloss, and a cut), and she set me up with Jess for the appointment. Jess is fantastic. I really enjoyed my time with her. She took the time to talk through my specific needs and goals and gave me perfect highlights and a really great fresh haircut. Ashley helped and did my shampoo, and she was wonderful too. The space is beautiful, and they have really nice hair products for sale (but nobody pushed them on me). I'm always nervous trying a new salon, but I know I'll be coming back here for a very long time. I can't wait to go back soon. Another note - everything was great in terms of Covid precautions. Everyone masked, very spaced out, and they took my temperature. I felt safe the whole time and was impressed by their diligence. read more

The entire staff was so friendly and took extra measures to make me feel really safe. Emma is an amazing stylist and her blowout is one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this salon! read more

I came to Alchemy for the first time this month for a cut with Roxie, who has been styling my hair for several years now. First of all, Roxie is an amazingly talented stylist with a wonerful eye. As always, she gave me a great haircut. Second, Alchemy The Salon is absolutely charming! It's clean, well-appointed and has an overall great vibe. I'll be back!! read more

I have been going to Imogene for nearly three years now. She is a dedicated stylist who continues her education and is always up on the latest styles and trends. Imogene is a true professional who listens to her clients and also offers sounds suggestions and professional advice. For as long as I live in Fairfield county, Imogene will be my stylist. read more

Previous to finding Imogene, I had been with my stylist for a decade! I am very loyal but Imogene is so good and accommodating that I made the switch. Imogene does beautiful work and she takes great care in making sure her clients look and feel great. I appreciate how professional Imogene is. She has the unusual personality combination of being creative, fun, and organized. Her clients run the gamut - male/female, teenagers, early career, middle aged and older. One unexpected benefit is that I have met the nicest people in her salon. read more

Ashley Colica has done beautiful work on my daughter's hair. My daughter changes her direction quite often and Ashley just rolls with it and works her magic. She has corrected my daughter's unfortunate sun-in situation and then made her the most lovely shades of blonde. Currently my daughter is sitting in her chair for a bronde look. Ashley is professional, talented, and entertaining. She's so cute, super sweet and I love my daughter has a trusted partner in her hair care. Highly recommend Ashley! read more

The fact that my service went horribly wrong, (resulting in a completely different color then I asked for, and serious over bleach breakage damage to my hair) was bad enough - but sometimes things go wrong. The fact that I contacted the owner to tell her what happened and she didn't even have the courtesy to respond is insulting. A bad experience that will take months to repair. read more

I had to write a review of Alchemy since I followed Imogene from her old salon. I'm so glad she started her own salon, it's peaceful, beautiful and I love going there. Imogene is the only person I will let do my hair now. She always listens to what I want, tells me what will work with my hair type, and does fantastic work. I always leave satisfied and I feeling fantastic. I have a lot of thick, dark hair and she takes the time to get the job done right! read more

I recently started going to Alchemy due to a much needed color correction. I booked a consultation with Imogene which helped me understand the steps and process needed to help with the color correction. Not only has she helped with the color and condition of my hair but gave me a great cut that I was very happy with. read more

I have been growing my grey hair for 2 years. In January I went to a hair salon to get a botox treatment on my hair. The lady didn't know how to treat grey hair properly and ended up getting my grey hair yellow. She advised me to use purple shampoo for a few days until the yellow is gone and my grey hair comes back to normal. However, after a whole week using the purple shampoo nothing changed. I searched on Google for a blond/grey hair salon professionals and found the Alchemy. I filled an online form saying what happened to my hair and Imogene texted me next day to know more details about what happened. I sent pictures from my hair before and after. She told me she was willing to fix it as much as possible. I made a 90 min appointment with Mercedes. She is a very sweet girls. Also, very professional. She applied 2 or 3 treatments on my hair. She was able to take about 75% of the yellow from my hair. However, it was not just the product that made my hair yellow. The lady who treated with botox burned my hair. Mercedes told me that the rest of the yellow would probably not get off. She was right. Even using purple shampoo regularly my hair is still yellowish. But much better than I first arrived at Imogene's salon. I loved how they took care of me!! Thank you girls. Christine read more

I recently moved from South FL to the Fairfield area and found myself in need of a cut, base color & hi-lights. I selected Alchemy on the basis of various posted reviews, and I made my appointment with Imogene, the owner. I loved the salon from the moment I first entered the door. It is cozy and hip, with fun music playing, and relaxing aromatherapy wafting through the air. I immediately felt comfortable in such a warm environment. Imogene took the time to talk with me, ask me questions about what I wanted in my style & color, and actually listen to my preferences in order for her to determine the best direction for my hair color and cut. She is sweet, engaging, thoughtful and professional in everything she does. I am extremely pleased with my cut & color, and I am happy to say, I have found my new go-to stylist and salon. read more

The space is beautiful and the energy in this place is so inviting and warm! Imogene's blowout and beach waves were the best I've ever had! She made me feel beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of the experience. Highly recommend you check it out! I'll be back :) read more

Absolutely loved every second of my appointment with Imogene! She was so knowledgeable and did exactly what I asked for while filling me in on all of the details along the way. The salon was so pretty with beautiful flowers and decor and the service was a clean, efficient process. Will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Imogene for a few years now. She has always done such an amazing job with not only my color, but cut and blow dry as well. I travel over an hour to see her because no one does it better! I recommend her to everyone! read more

Imogene is the best! She gives great haircuts and the entire experience is so great. After trying several stylists in Fairfield County, I found Imogene about a year ago and have stuck with her since. I am relieved I no longer have to deal with disappointing haircuts and the search for a new stylist. She is a great listener and is very skilled. Very consistent high quality work for a fair price. I highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing Imogene for over a year and could not be happier!! Whether it's a simple blowdry, color, or a haircut she always does an absolutely amazing job! I have recommended friends and family to her and they love her as well. So happy to see her have her own salon, she deserves it! If you are looking for a new stylist at a reasonable price go and see her now. You won't regret it! read more

Consistently great haircuts, sociable and fun atmosphere. Imogene does great work for both me and my wife
