Alchemy Hair Salon

This salon gets by solely on the atmosphere. The people who work there are stuck-up  and think because they wear "hipster" clothes and play indie music and serve you tea while they cut your hair that they're so cool. They simply will NOT do anything to your hair they THEY don't want to do. I went in to dye my hair blonde and they didn't want to do it and kept telling me it was because they wanted to "protect" my hair, when I know it was because they didn't think it would look good on me. I had never dyed my hair at this salon but I've been told in the past by several professionals at various salons that my hair is great for experimentation because it is very healthy and strong. They were also very patronizing while they spoke to me. I would ask a question and the girl, "Tallie" would roll her eyes and say "stay with me". In the end, I got my hair done by a family member who went to beauty school. But not before making an appointment with Alchemy and "forgetting" to show up. more

Got my hair colored and somehow managed to walk out with splotches of color on the back of my neck, on my forehead, behind my ear...jeez. It had happened before & I asked them to be more careful. Honestly, there are some talented folks there but I don't feel they check their work closely enough. For the price, I should walk out without having to go home and remove excess color from my hair & skin. It was sloppy. I liked this place initially but seems that their hipster attitude went to their heads. Move along I say. more

I am a HUGE fan of Alchemy! I am a person that tries every salon and I never receive a haircut that I am satisfied with. I recently saw a girl with an amazing layered cut. She told me she got her haircut here and that all her sorority sisters go to Alchemy too. If the sorority girls go here I thought this maybe it. Alchemy is located in College Park. I have to admit the exterior isn't at all what I pictured, but the most important part is the finishing product; great hair! The salon has a very funky artistic vibe, but I have to admit this salon produced some major makeovers during the two hours I was there. You have got to try it. Oh and one of the best parts is that I received a cut and color for $110. I use to pay $225 so I am hooked for life! more
