Two weeks before my wedding, my mom did a home dye job on my hair, which resulted in a disaster! I looked like a skunk with splotchy bleach yellow spots all over my head. All of my bridesmaids had advice and suggestions about where to go to get it fixed. My sister-in-law recommended that I go to her hair colorist, Megan LaCore at Alchemy Studios in Willow Glen. I phoned all of the potential salons and Megan was the only stylist that actually listened to me and seemed interested in my situation. All of the other stylists just starting telling me what they were going to do, kind of overbearing and taking over the situation. Since this was my wedding, it was really important that the person I went to cared about what I wanted. Megan assured me that we would be able to fix it after she let me vent about what happened and what I wanted done. Megan was friendly but not pushy like some hair stylist (trying to push their hair styles on you). She had some great color ideas, red and brown low lights with some blonde highlights. She took her time and explained what she was doing to my hair. She even gave me a great head massage when she was rinsing my hair. The result - spectacular! All my friends and family at the wedding kept complimenting my hair. The colors really showed up in the photos - Megan told me they would. I had always wanted to have red hair, but could never get the color to stick - until Megan. She picked colors that went with my face tones. She is truly an expert! She observed things about my hair that I had never even noticed. She seemed truly interested in helping me and proud of her work when we saw the finished results. She saved me during the worst wedding crisis with a cheerful and knowledgeable attitude. I still get compliments almost daily on my hair, which looks great over a month later. I can't wait to go back to her!
