I usually wait till I travel to Portland for a cut with my regular stylist. It's been months though and my hair was in dire need. My experience with Emma at Alchemist could not have been better. She listened to what I wanted, applied her magic, and I left the studio with my hair and spirit shining from the experience. The result was what I had envisioned only better. I didn't know my hair could look so good. Thank you, Emma!

An Ode to Sammi Mount: The Artisan of Hair and Heart…read more In a world filled with stylists and salons, there are a rare few whose craft transcends aesthetics and becomes something deeply personal, transformative, even sacred. Sammi Mount is one such artist. To call her a hairdresser would be to simplify what she truly offers. She is a master colorist, a precision cutter, a visionary stylist, and most of all, a soul who pours her whole heart into every client she touches. I have entrusted my hair to elite stylists in Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, global capitals of beauty and fashion. And yet none have come close to Sammi's level of artistry and care. I now travel and fly just to see her because once you have experienced her work, anything else feels like a compromise. She is without question the best I have ever had. Her color is otherworldly. Sammi does not just apply color, she understands light, tone, texture, and identity. Each highlight, lowlight, and blend is placed with intention, as though she is painting a living, breathing canvas. Her haircuts are sculptural yet effortless, tailored not only to your face but to your movement, your energy, your life. But what sets Sammi apart even beyond her technical brilliance is the soul she brings into her space. Her presence is grounding. Her kindness is palpable. Every appointment feels like a safe haven, a time not only to feel beautiful but to be heard. The conversations you have in her chair are as nourishing as the transformation itself. She listens with real curiosity, speaks with honesty and warmth, and somehow always knows just what you need, whether it is a bold new look or a quiet reset. As much as I would love to keep her a secret, to guard her name like a hidden gem only the lucky few know about, Sammi deserves to be celebrated. She is the best at what she does. She is meticulous, intuitive, soulful, and generous beyond words. Sammi Mount is not just a stylist. She is an experience. A ritual. A rare kind of artist whose work lingers far beyond the mirror and deep into the heart.

Overall an awesome experience…read more I went in for a cut, showed Peter a couple photos of what I want, and he did a wonderful job. He really listens to what the client wants and I left incredibly happy. Next time I'm in Monterey area I'll come back for another cut and also a color. They know what they're doing here.

I Would Go Anywhere Else...... The owner Pete is arrogant,…read moreand he can't cut hair well. My hair is now shorter on the right side than my left side, Uneven, and when I pointed it out, he tells me it's because he is right handed. He didn't fix it. He is over priced, $155 for touching up my roots and I bring my own Goldwell Color & Developer, because I have allergies to Loreal products that are full of toxic chemicals. When I told Pete I would not be coming back, he raised my price on my way out the door on my last visit. He lied to me and said he raised his prices in January, I have been here three times this year, and he lied to my face. He is a very passive-aggressive jerk..... I would Never Trust Pete..... Supercuts can do better than this..... All of my reviews are 5 Stars - You are my only 1 Star Review!! Well Deserved.....

I'm so glad I did...I have been to quite a few stylists before who said they were good with curly hair, even one who had the Deva training, but not one of them gave me an education on how to deal with my curls at home. Diana told me things I've never heard before and even sent me home with a cheat sheet. My hair went from an untamed lion's mane to a cute curly cut that makes me smile when I look in the mirror...I haven't felt that way in ages. She also didn't put pressure on me to buy products, which I greatly appreciate. I have a new hair stylist!!!

I just moved to the area and was excited to have my first haircut in a while. Jay is an experienced hairdresser and gave me a great haircut. That being said, she was complaining that she didn't know my hair was long prior to the appointment and ended up charging me $155 for a simple layered haircut, no color. I even came to the appointment with my hair washed and still wet, and she insisted on washing it before cutting it. I was happy with my cut and asked the total, and she wouldn't say it while other clients were present. She handed me a calculator with the total on it (155) and wouldn't look me in the eye as I paid her. Again, it was a good haircut but very sad to leave the salon feeling like I was taken advantage of. I wanted this to be a place I could return but sadly I won't. I hope others can have a better experience.
