Maricel was amazing at…read morelistening to my hair goals and helping me decide on the best ways to achieve what I was looking for. 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!

WOW! I am so happy!!! I got my hair done by Ashley L. and I could not be happier. My hair was a…read moregiant mess prior to coming in to see her. My friend recommended me to her as I was looking for someone that really 'GOT ME' and my style and what kind of look I was trying to achieve. I went in for a consultation and showed her a few pics and discussed color options and then set up my appointment. Ashley is super busy, but got me in the next week! I love that! We took my hair from dirty blonde and bleached out orange (long story) to a sweet dark red with SNOW WHITE WHITE WHITE highlights. ALL In one sitting and it only took 90mins!!! My hair is still in great condition even tho we got the highlights white white! SHE KNOWS COLOR!! I showed her the pic of what I wanted and THAT IS EXACTLY what she did. She gives you EXACTLY what you want and not what SHE thinks you should have. Awesome communication explaining what she was doing through out the process and very fast! No blotching and the highlights were VERY tight aka as close to the root as possible! So you don't have to run back for a touch up in 4 weeks. I can't recommend her enough for those girls trying to get the edgy rocker LOOK AT ME hair. She isn't afraid to go extreme and yet still makes sure your hair stays in great shape after! Can't recommend her enough!

I'm including a few photos we took of her amazing work! She is a definite keeper and I highly recommend her for anyone with Asian hair who wants to start transitioning their hair color to gray gracefully! Thank you so much Naomi!!!

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!
