I didn't have a "negative" service at this salon but it was "mediocre" at best, especially for the…read morecost. This salon is easily $100-$125 more expensive just because of the area it's in, keep that in mind. Overall, I would give my hair a 6 out of 10 and my experience a 4 out of 10. I got a partial "balayage" and hair cut, and at this point I know that some salons don't do actual hair painting, it's basically sporadically placed color, and while the color itself is fine, I don't anticipate this growing out as well as it has other times I've gotten my hair done - I can tell because I've been getting my hair done for 20+ years at this point so that's a little unfortunate. But aside from this, I would have appreciated if she let me know she was charging me for more color - other salons haven't done this as often, but they do let me know when they do. Even with full "balayage" at other places, I haven't always been charged for more color so this was unexpected. Even if she just gave me a heads up though, I would have appreciated it. The haircut was very basic and simple even though I asked for long layers. The blow dry was also "okay" - I ended up going home and adding more volume into it myself. Most importantly though - the stylist was not engaging at all. I'm a new customer, she didn't ask anything about me. Made no effort to put in conversation with me. It is so unlike any experience I've had at a hair salon. I even asked her questions to get the ball rolling and there was barely anything back. 3-4 hours in a salon chair is a long time for such lack of conversation, it's very disappointing. Like I said - my experience wasn't "bad" or "horrible" but I am not going back and I would not recommend the salon.

Thank you Alchemist Hair Studio and thank you Megan Nicole (@hair.by.Megan.Nicole) for being…read moreprofessional, showing expertise in all aspects of hair knowledge and creativity, and most of all... being kind. Megan and the Alchemist family has shown nothing but love, while also keeping everything informative and realistic when it came to my hair extension experience. As a cancer survivor, a stay at home mother, and a mommy on multiple medications they looked for me and let me know of the pros, cons, and how they would help my on my hair journey. I am here to say, I am loving the 24in extensions the lovely Megan has given me. It has improved my confidence and I feel like a brand new person y'all! Thank you Alchemist Hair Salon and thank you Megan. You brought back my confidence.

I had been a returning client of Alchemist Hair Studio and previously saw another stylist there who…read moredid my blonde successfully for over a year and serviced my hair overall since April 2025, but she moved, so I booked with Khammy. During my consultation, I explained that I wanted to maintain the cohesive blonde I already had, bring the same neutral tone underneath, and bring the blonde closer to my root. At first, with my hair freshly blown out, I thought something looked a little off but assumed I was just adjusting to the blonde being higher. Once I got home, looked more closely, and later washed and styled it myself, I could see the actual result: patchy, non-cohesive color with warm and cool tones throughout that did not blend together. It honestly looked more like an at-home color job than a professional salon service. When I initially reached out to Khammy, I was upfront that I did not want her doing my hair again based on how it turned out compared with what we had discussed. I had previously told her I planned to return for a haircut since there had not been enough time to do both services that day, so I wanted to be transparent about why I would not be coming back. I also contacted the salon separately through Instagram asking whether another stylist could correct my color and provided clear photos. I did not initially ask for a refund because I respected the time spent and product used. I then went days without a response from Khammy, and when she did respond, she repeatedly said she needed time to "process" the situation. The salon's Instagram never responded at all. Instead, I was blocked from their Booksy booking platform while their social media account continued actively posting. I ultimately decided to have my hair corrected elsewhere at my own expense. That is when I requested a refund. Khammy then pushed for a FaceTime or in-person appointment despite the documentation I had already provided. I declined and said I wanted to keep communication in writing. After I declined the FaceTime, Khammy maintained that the color looked fine, attributed the result to the state of my hair, and then said the photos I provided were "heavily filtered" and at that point, all she saw was me trying to "get free service" out of her. The photos I provided were Live Photos of my actual hair. I found those accusations insulting and unnecessary. Her response only reinforced why I did not want her working on my hair again. The blonde I was asking for had been achieved successfully on my hair before. If she felt during our consultation that the condition of my hair, the time available, or her ability to achieve what I wanted would be an issue, I would have preferred that she decline the appointment. I genuinely tried to be reasonable throughout this process, but the dismissive communication, lack of professionalism, and accusations made an already disappointing service significantly worse. I have the full history of the communication, including where there was no response, and I'm attaching before (with the wine glass) and after of my hair so people can see the result for themselves.

Second time coming here…read more The stay-at-home order was finally lifted and businesses could reopen again. Upon arrival they ask you to sign in (name and phone #) if there is a wait. That way there is room for social distancing. They check your temperature before entering as well. Masks must be worn and there are clear panels that section off areas for cutting hair. They do an excellent job at keeping the shop clean and hygienic for customers. Last time I came here for a hair trim, Maria cut my hair. This time Esmerelda (Esme) was my stylist. She did an amazing job. Esme is was friendly and very sweet. If you refer back to my first review, I am very particular when it comes to cutting my hair. Nothing crazy but I've had one too many incidents where stylists got too happy with the scissors and chopped more than I asked. I normally get a trim and style my hair myself later but I appreciated the blow out that Esme did for me today. Again, she did an awesome job and I can't thank her enough. I also appreciate the patience she had with my hair (long, thick, LOTS of hair). Thank you Esme for making my hair healthy again

We were in from out of town and decided I was really in need of a trim. We looked at a few…read moredifferent salons close to our hotel and we called one or two to see if they had a drop-in times for a quick cut. I failed to get her name but she was very nice and friendly when she answered the phone and said she had time for me. She did even call back later to ask if I could be there just a bit later as her previous person was running late. The salon was busy with clients on both sides of the salon. It was clean and bright. It was nice to get pampered just a bit while on vacation too! If we lived close by, I believe I would go back on a regular basis.

After a really bad haircut, I was in desperate need of help for my curly waves. Not only was Elena…read moreattentive, she was empathetic. After briefly discussing what I was looking for, Elena got straight to work on expertly snipping away at the problem areas. And, let me tell you, Elena knew the assignment! Two weeks post cut, I still love how my curls are behaving. The cut frames my face and I can pretty much wash-n-go with this cut. If you're looking for a hair specialist who knows how to treat your curls right, Elena is your gal! I HIGHLY recommend checking out Elena's Beauty Salon for all of your hair care needs.

Generally, everything about the hair cut was just "fine." It's a simple salon - not flashy or…read moreanything like that. I had made an appointment because I was used to making appointments months in advance at my last salon (I moved recently). It does not seem like appointments are necessary. The experience itself was lack luster - I got a wash, cut, and blow dry - which I find pretty standard. I found it odd that she didn't sit me down and take a look at my hair dry or ask me what I really wanted before taking me back, but every stylist is different. The wash was kind of rough, definitely not what I'm used to - which again, may just be a personal preference. The cut was simple - long layers. I told her where I parted my hair because she didn't ask but she told me she'd cut it center because it would look better that way and the part wouldn't matter (gentle foreshadowing - that made the cut look worse). When all was said and done I asked her to blend and soften the layers a little and she did, which I appreciated, but there just wasn't any saving the front - which is what I have to see every time I look in the mirror. The layers in the front on the side I part my hair to are short and harsh and just do not fall nicely. When it came to pay - cash only. Which, thank god I brought cash (maybe I missed something). The cut was $45 but the wash and blow dry was another 30. at that price point I would have been better off going to a Boujie salon for a much better experience and a little more money. Unfortunately I just don't think this is the salon for me. I'm so glad other people have such a great experience, but If you're looking for more relaxing salon vibes with the type of stylist to take the time to talk about what you like, I would not recommend coming here. In short id say this is Super Cut Quality with Fancy Salon Prices - just not worth it unfortunately.
