Blond highlights for dark hair
Hailey F.

Jade is the best. I've been getting my hair done by Jade for years now, and I absolutely love her. I've gotten balayage, highlights and haircuts over time and she's been solid and consistent each time -- not to mention reasonably priced. She's professional, friendly and doesn't upsell anything. Her salon is located near the SoCo plaza with no frills friendly vibe. Highly recommended!

The after of the detangle/haircut
Haley D.

Rebecca Jones was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. My hair was severely matted, and she spent four hours carefully detangling it without ever making me feel embarrassed or judged. She made a stressful experience feel comfortable, and I'm so grateful for the care she gave me. I would absolutely recommend her!

Clea M.

Jade is a true artist! I always leave loving my hair! I recently got a partial balayage, and it turned out amazing- the perfect amount of contrast to complement my skin tone and natural hair color. She also gives the best haircuts and knows exactly how to do face-framing layers and curtain bangs that are so flattering. She's incredibly talented, and I highly recommend her!

Hair cut and balayage by Audrey
Ellice W.

Best hair cut I've had in so long. Balayage coloring was exactly how I wanted it and Audrey was very helpful with her knowledge of color theory. Salon was clean and all the cosmetologists seemed to like each other and like working here. Will be coming back for touch ups!

Jo O.

Rebecca absolutely killed it! Wanted a balayage to cover some grays and she took my hair to the next level. She is extremely talented and so lovely to work with!! 10000/10. Everyone set up an appointment with her!!

Healed Brows
My W.

Linh did an amazing job on my powdered brows. I had very uneven eyebrows, and she expertly evened them out, made them fuller, clean, defined, and exactly how I envisioned perfect brows to look. She truly listened to what I wanted and delivered flawless results that was completely pain free. I couldn't be happier.

Long layers and blowout from Jaimie
Brittany T.

Thank you Jaimie for the amazing cut and blowout! She used this technique where she left the brushes in my hair for a bit to keep hold even longer and I definitely noticed a difference. I also appreciated that she knew a lot about curly hair and was able to recommend products and techniques that would help my curls shine. She also asked if I wanted a blowout or preferred to style my hair curly which I thought was really nice! Usually folks just opt for the blow out for styling but I like that she gave options based on my hair. The salon itself was nice. It was pretty busy on Saturday afternoon but there's plenty of parking on this shopping center. The owner also gave me a free conditioner since it was my first time in the salon. Overall, it was a great experience!

Caramel Balayage by Jade
Nicole M.

Jade is amazing and talented. I can always trust her with my balayage. She's kind and I enjoy my time with her. I am a loyal client and won't go anywhere else!

Shag cut by Cera
Mackenzie S.

I visited Alkali for the first time yesterday and saw Cera. I called the day prior and asked who specialized in curly hair and they pointed in her direction. I cannot recommend Cera enough. She asked so many questions to figure out what my specific vision was, offered suggestions based on the amount of effort I wanted to put into my hair every day, and was so comfortable to chat with throughout the appointment. The shag she gave me totally transformed my look and I love my hair (after a long while of really hating how it looked). If you've got curly hair, go see Cera - you won't regret it!

Jaimie was super helpful, professional and friendly. I'll definitely be back! Easy just to call and book. Reasonable salon prices. Easy parking.

Choppy and unblended.
Tiffany N.

I was really looking forward to my haircut because I only get one once a year. I made an appointment online and was excited they had availability the next day. I went in on Thursday for a wash, cut and style at 12. Dania was lovely and I'm rating one star because she gave me tips on how to do a blowout at home. The blowout looked so cute BUT my layered haircut is not what I wanted. I washed my hair Friday night and let it dry only to see the layers were SO off and chunky. There was even a strand that was missed. I'm really sad because I tipped and thought the blowout looked great only to realize the cut itself was messy. I do not recommend for a haircut. I'll be going somewhere else to see if they can fix it.

Golden blonde

Jaimie is 1/1. Struggled for years bouncing between stylists never really getting the results I hoped for until I started seeing Jaimie. She makes me feel comfortable everytime I'm in her chair and I genuinely look forward to seeing her. She feels more like a friend than a stylist. Even when I have a hard time explaining what I want she somehow knows exactly what I mean and nails it everytime. Brings me great peace of mind to trust someone completely with my hair, I couldn't recommend her more.

Cathlyn D.

Was desperately in need of a haircut and found this place on yelp. Made an appointment online and saw that there was availability for the next day. Booked it and arrived the following morning. Seamless appointment system and was randomly assigned a stylist. Location was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Joey was amazing from start to finish. Really great personality and very experienced. Great conversation that made time go by fast. She was great at multi tasking and made my hair beautiful and healthy again! I will be coming back :)

I rarely leave reviews but when I experience something excellent I have to spread the word. Here…read moreare the reasons why this is the best salon I've ever been to: 1. They have one hour time slots-for MEN'S hair. I've never seen this before. When salons give you a large time slot that means they're making sure they have adequate time to pay close attention to the details of your hair. It also means they're sacrificing more clients to make sure you end up with a high quality result. 2. Their prices are completely reasonable given the amount of time they take for each person. I paid $37 for a one hour haircut. I used to go to Press Men's Hair in Newport and they charge a whopping $47 for a 35 minute haircut. 3. I didn't expect the appointment to last for an hour, so I only paid the parking meter up to 45 minutes. They put money in the meter for me without even asking to make sure there was enough time for my hair. That's integrity. 4. My stylist, Steven, was SUPER knowledgeable about hair. I know all stylists are supposed to be knowledgeable, but they're really not. He taught me how to style my hair correctly and which products to use, which is something I've been researching literally forever. Also, if your stylist has good hair themselves, they probably know what they're doing. 5. They were prompt with taking me upstairs to start the appointment, I didn't have to wait at all. 6. Steven asked me LOTS of questions about how I wanted my hair to look, and explained to me what he was doing every step of the way. He also explained to me what would look best on me aesthetically. I have never had a stylist care that much. 7. Obviously my hair looks really good or else I wouldn't have left this review. I didn't receive any incentives to write this-I genuinely just want everyone to know how good this place is.

Lately, life has been so hectic that my hair had grown much longer than I intended. Between stress and getting older, I was starting to notice some changes in my hair and knew it was time for a little self-care and a fresh new look. I reached out to Donna, and she was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even managing to squeeze me in for a last-minute appointment. From the moment I arrived, the salon had a lively, welcoming atmosphere. It was bustling with clients, but the overall vibe was comfortable and relaxed. You could tell the stylists were busy doing what they love, and the salon had a great energy. During my appointment, I explained exactly what I was looking for. Donna took the time to listen, understood my vision, and absolutely delivered! She worked her magic, giving my hair beautiful movement, volume, and a refreshed look while keeping the length and style I wanted. I've received so many compliments from family and friends, and I couldn't be happier with the results! It's amazing how a fresh haircut and color can give you such a confidence boost. Thank you, Donna, for your patience, attention to detail, and for making me feel young, beautiful, and confident again! It's not just about getting your hair done; it's about leaving the salon feeling like the best version of yourself. I'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers beautiful results!

I tried Van & the owner lady (forgot her name). Their skill is just ok, not excellent as reviews on yelp. Won't come back.
