She didn't try to upsell me on any products or services I didn't need and also provided suggestions when asked about things I can do at home to sustain my hair goals. The salon and stylists are such a vibe! They even offer snacks and drinks, which help with these longer appointments. I absolutely love the way my hair turned out! Do something nice for yourself and go see the ladies at Alchemy!

Naomi saved my hair!!…read more I had a terrible haircut by another salon and was in desperate need to find a new hair stylist that I was reaching out to different salons in the area. My layers were so short and my hair got thinned out. I didn't even ask for that style of haircut. It was so frayed. The layers were so choppy. If I pulled hair from both sides of my head neither of the lengths would be even. So bad!!! Naomi was the first to respond and the first choice I wanted so I booked with her! She was able to get me in the next day after the terrible haircut experience. Upon walking in she greeted me with so much warmth and I just immediately trusted her with my hair. She was able to cut my hair short to even out the work the previous salon did but told me to come back in 3 months to allow my hair to grow to get a recut. I made another appointment with her 2 months in because I was tired of waking up and hating my hair. She immediately responds. During my 2nd appointment with her we both agreed to go shoulder length short. I absolutely love my hair now. Naomi really knows what she's doing and I'm so glad I found somebody I can trust with my hair going forward. Plus she is so nice! And her hair is great too haha. Thank you so much Naomi for saving my hair!!

Colleen did a fastastic job coloring my hair (well, highlights) several weeks back. It was a late…read moreafternoon appointment but she was willing to stay late, evening though she was flying out for a wedding the next day. I haven't ever been put under a heat lamp before but it seemed to really speed up the process. I also got the brightness I wanted without the brassy undertones. However, my hair has never been more dried out. My boyfriend has been rubbing coconut oil in it for me and that will help for a couple days before he does it again. Which I really enjoy him doing, but do not enjoy the tangles that come with dry hair. Perhaps next visit I'll plan an earlier appointment and just wait it out while color sets and avoid the heat. But overall very happy! The salon is very cute too and I like the products she used!

My nail chipped after day 2 and here are my nails 7 days later. Can you believe that it is gel? $65 for gel and mani only for it to look like I painted then myself. I couldn't go back in to fix them but if you can't do it right the first time what's the point. Definitely don't recommend this place for the nails

She's always quick to respond and is very accommodating with your needs and appointment times. As for her mom, I always love getting my nails done by her! She's so sweet and attentive and my nails always come out just right! The only reason for taking off one star is that it is just one manicurist (the Mom) so if you and a friend want to get your nails done at the same time, this place isn't really an option. Other than that little bit, I love it here! Quick tip: always call ahead. Don't hope for a walk-in appointment as it is always busy!
