    Hello new, beautiful haircut!!! 1st my haircut was completely last minute!! I called this am asking if they had any availability today and within the next 4 hours. A lady called me back and said yes they could fit me in before my kids were coming home from school. I arrived and the salon is ADORABLE inside, so extra points for velvet and glamor! I showed Jenna some Pinterest inspo and we discussed and she got into it. She even gave me pointers on how to use a flatiron to try to recreate this look! It turned out EXACTLY, EXACTLY how I imagined it in my minds' eye!!! Thank you Jenna! I've FINALLY FOUND MY HAIR PEOPLE!! Also I walked in the door and the hubby says it's super cute, probably the best gaur cut since he's known me in 22 years! Wow!!!

    I honestly really hate leaving a bad review, and I will preface this by saying that the staff was really friendly and that the owner went out of her way to fix the situation. However, at the end of the day, I dished out almost $250 for what was a crap dye job and a terrible blowout. You will see from my pics that less than a week after leaving the salon I looked like I was in dire need of a coloring. Im sure the individual that did my hair does a great men's cut, but it was rather clear he had little experience with women's color, particularly long, blonde hair. When I called in he picked up the phone and i asked for whomever was "the best" with blondes. He said that would be him. I should have realized it would be unlikely that "the best" would coincidentally be picking up the phone. Do yourself a favor and book with the owner. I believe her name is Angela. She definitely looks like she knows what she's doing and she's very nice. Not that the other guy wasn't nice, he was. He's just better suited to men's cut's possibly.

    I don't even have the words to describe how amazing my visit here was. Marc is an absolute miracle worker. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but to say I'm impressed is an understatement.

    We have known the owners of Bangz for many years and planned to use them for hair and makeup services for my October wedding, but they were really unfriendly and disorganized. After some research, we happened upon Salon Alchemy and it was like a different world. I am extremely particular and was very uptight (as my mom would say!) about working with someone we didn't know. Angela was so calm and patient throughout the entire process. She made us feel right at home and answered all our questions with a smile. The salon was the perfect cozy setting for the morning of my wedding day. Angela and her team worked quickly but didn't make us feel rushed. I really wanted to look like myself, just a more glamorous version and Angela accomplished that. She didn't want to straighten my naturally curly hair or give me a smokey eye (which I hate). We all left looking like the best version of ourselves and I was thrilled with that. Angela and her team are wonderful. I can wholeheartedly recommend Salon Alchemy for wedding hair and make up!

    I just moved here from KY three weeks ago. I found Salon Alchemy on Yelp and then checked out their website. As soon as I saw the photos- I knew I'd found the place for me. I have a unconventional sense of style and don't wear my hair the way a typical mother of two small kids would. I wanted to make sure the salon and stylist I go to understand that I may drive a minivan- but I have no desire to look like I drive a minivan:) I stopped in without an appointment and had an awesome chat with Angela, who set me up with Maria. Maria took her time with the consultation, and gave me EXACTLY the haircut I was asking for:) Not only is Maria skilled at what she does technically, she has a terrific personality, and was totally fun to talk to. I can't wait to go back to her to get my color done!!

    I was looking to cut all my dead hair off, from below my shoulders to right above them. I recently moved to the area and was looking for a decent place to just give me a simple blunt cut, but what I got was so much better! I read wonderful reviews about Maria and called the day before, not expecting to get an appointment with her. By chance she was able to squeeze me in at the end of my work day. Let me tell you, I have never had a pleasurable experience at a hair salon..let alone the exceptional one I had at Salon Alchemy. Maria was quick, deliberate, friendly, and informative. She listened to what I wanted and gave me a haircut that has exceeded every expectation. I will definitely be back.

    I scheduled a last-minute appointment for my four-year-old daughter to get a haircut. The salon was very accommodating and squeezed her in before closing. It was my daughter's first time at a big girl hair salon. She was so excited! Considering how squirmy a four-year-old can be while getting a haircut, the stylist did a pretty good job! Kids haircuts (10 and under) are a reasonable $25. We will definitely be going back!

    Beware! The high ratings of this place are for their wedding updo's. The absolute worst customer service. After having my hair butchered by Jenna I called and asked for my money back but the owner would not give it back. She offered to fix my hair but why would I let a woman that watched this happen touch my hair. Keep the money and hire some talent.

    I have been coming to Salon Alchemy for 3+ years now and I can't recommend this salon enough. I first came across them on The Knot as they were rated one of the best wedding hair/make-up spots in northern NJ. Not only did Maria do the most AMAZING job getting my hair the exact color (and perfect cut) I wanted for my big day but Angela and Jenna did a stunning job on not only my hair/extensions and make-up/lashes but the Mother of Bride's, Mother of the Groom's and bridal party's hair and make-up as well! It has been two years since my wedding and I can, without a doubt, say I am a Salon Alchemy girl for life! The talent possessed by Angela and her team is beyond immeasurable and you truly feel like you've known everyone here your whole life, by far the best salon in the area!

    Horrible to glamorous.  I cannot thank Maria enough!!!!

I am so glad I took the risk because now this is the only hair salon I will go to for cuts and color because of the amazing Tom! I have not dyed my hair in over 16 years and wanted a change and I knew Tom was the person that could touch my virgin hair, haha! He's been giving me amazing cuts and I was very confident he would deliver and would know exactly what would look good on me. I did a partial balayage back in July (starting out small since it's been a while) and have been getting glazes every 7-8 weeks. My hair has never felt healthier. I used to be one of those gals that would wait forever to get a haircut and have tons of split ends. Ever since Tom - I've been visiting on a routinely basis with trims and glazes and I love the way my hair feels. I trust Tom completely with my hair and now during every visit I will just ask him what he thinks would look good and go with that :) Whenever I have a special event, he'll make sure he dolls me up. He's amazing, he's the curl and color expert! Salon is pretty spacious, clean and can get very busy on the weekends - you definitely need to schedule an appointment. Staff is super friendly and always making sure to take care of you whether it be getting you coffee or other beverages. Highly recommend!

They blamed my hair's condition and told me to come back in 20 days, saying they would do a full highlight for just $90. When I told them I wanted to wait a little longer to let my hair recover, they agreed that it was a great idea. At no point did they warn me that if I waited too long, the price would increase to full price. How was I supposed to know that? If they had told me, I could have made an informed decision. Instead, they just told me what I wanted to hear at the time to keep me from complaining. Now, three months later, I reached out to finally get my highlights done, and they refuse to honor the price they originally promised. Not only did I waste $300 on something I didn't ask for, but they also completely misled me about fixing it. This place is unprofessional and dishonest. I would never recommend them to anyone. Stay away unless you want to be overcharged and lied to.

    Didn't even get to make my appointment. I called and said…read moreI'd like to bring my son in for a cut and color. When asked if it was going to be full or partial color, I told her I wasn't sure what he wanted and hoped that speaking with the stylist we would figure it out then. The girl suggested I call my son and ask him and then call back to make my appointment. I asked what the reason was for needing to know prior to making an appointment ? I was told that they focus on time management and they wouldn't want to schedule as a full when he would get partial bc that leftover time could've been filled and vise versa if i scheduled a partial but decided on a full. She doubled down on me figuring it out with my son and then calling back so the appointment would align with their "time management". I brought up the possibility of my 15 yr old son changing his mind mid appointment after discussions with his stylist etc. wouldn't customer satisfaction be the focus in this situation ? What happens then? Does "time management" trump our appointment ? Do you send us away when the chance of interfering with next customers scheduled time comes into play ? I was offered a consultation appointment that would , unfortunately , yes, mean I'd have to come back another day for the actual service. I'm 35 years old I've dyed my hair 6 times 4 perms and countless cuts over the years at probably over a dozen salons. I've never experienced such difficulty just trying to make an appointment; Seemed like a red flag to me. Shame though because their photos of their color services was impressive. Story has a happy ending though : I was able to make an appointment at another salon in Ridgewood after hanging up. I said the same thing I did when I called here , there was no problem at all. My advice : when a salon is so focused on time management to the point you can't even make an appointment: go elsewhere. I'm thankful actually. Some people don't realize they made the wrong choice until it's too late
