We really can’t believe it either 😅
If you’re going to want fresh hair for the holidays or any special events for the remainder of 2026- we recommend booking your appointments sooner than later! ✨✨
As we get closer, the less likely we are to have appointments available and can’t guarantee being able to accommodate you.
While some of our stylists may open additional hours, others also take time around the holidays to spend with our own loved ones and want to do our best to be mutually respectful of our own and our clients time.🫶🏻
Keep an eye on your emails and text messages for booking reminders and don’t hesitate to call to be added to our waitlist for preferred appointment times if they are unavailable.

Things are kinda chic around here- for our clients and our stylists!
Alchemists is all about keeping things fun and fresh. We don’t have uniforms, we love disco balls and leopard print, we love to keep things light and airy. Alchemists Salon is totally for you if you want to exist in a beautiful eclectic space.
We’re committed to putting your total wellbeing first- keeping things low-tox. It protects our clients from harmful chemincals and our stylists from typically industry ailments- like contact dermatitis and breathing issues.
We’re an indie salon and love to support brands (and the people that own them) that share our vision and values. It’s important that we can (and do) talk directly to the people who make our favorite products- just reps and distributors, but the founders and dreamers behind it all.
Did someone say Prosecco?
We do regular orders so our shelves don’t just stay stocked but stay fresh. No one wants products that have been sitting around, we get it! We also carry silk bonnets, specialty brushes, and fun claw clips to keep our clients hair at its best!
If you’ve been here- you know about the flamingos.
Every inch of our space is carefully coordinated to keep the vibes up (and our selfies interesting.)
Being an Alchemist is bigger than doing hair. Alchemists care about our clients hair from scalp to end. We are proud of our community. We are loud about what we stand for. Alchemists don’t fit a mold. We aren’t just a pretty salon doing pretty hair- Alchemists Salon is a movement.
