I loooooove this salon, and Janessa is THE star!!! It’s been about 5 visits now, and every single time Janessa has knocked it out of the park. No matter what, I always leave feeling like she understood me and got me what I wanted. She’s an incredible hair artist & super fun to engage with. Literally a gem! I used to be local but moved across the city - I will continue to travel for Janessa because she’s just THAT good 🔥

Xander does great work and is helpful because I always come in with a very general idea of what I want. He’s also great to chat with. I look forward to my appointments.

Xander gave me the most amazing haircut! I have curly hair and am always a little nervous with a new stylist. Wow! My curls have not looked this good in at least 10 years. Thanks, Xander!!

Almost 2 years ago, I didn't recognize the person I saw in the mirror - she didn't "represent" how I felt. I made an appointment at Alchemia, gave them an idea of what I wanted, and they worked magic...I'm a very happy client who appreciates their attention to detail along with the professionalism of Edward and his team. Thank you!

If you want a great cut and color, this is the place to come. Edward is a color wizard. I always get compliments on my color and style.

Sy is an industry veteran and her haircuts prove it. I've been seeing her for three years and she always gives me the exact cut and style I'm looking for. She's great at listening and will help you figure out what is best for you.

Xavier was so good, I didn’t know what to ask for and he worked with me. Best haircut I’ve ever received and my facial hair was done right

Awesome experience! Cannot recommend this salon enough. Ken was wonderful and sat with me first and asked a lot of questions to make sure he could give me the results I wanted. Which he did!

Great service!

Holy cow! I am so extremely impressed with the work done here. I have had a hard time finding somewhere here in Chicago for my hair and I really hit the jackpot with Alchemia. Sy is PHENOMENAL on many levels - very personable, transparent and honest, explains the process as she goes through and does an amazing job. The entire experience from consult to final result exceeded expectations.

I have nothing but good things to say. I’ve had my color done four times and the last was the best. I would recommend the Salon to anyone! Thank You Ken And now Xander Judith Wolfson

I've been seeing Edward for haircuts for several months since moving to the area. Consistently get the best haircut I've had anywhere, excellent product and hairstyle advice, and a great atmosphere! Couldn't ask for better service.

I’ve had my hair cut by Xander three times (the last two are shown here) and I love it every time. It’s so wonderful to have found someone to trust to know what to do with my hair when I really don’t. I’ve gone from hair past my shoulder to above my chin and it was done so well I don’t even miss it. 10/10 would recommend. The salon itself is also great to go to and all the stylists seem friendly and great. :) Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Kenneth is the best, he works hard to get just the right look!

Ken did a phenomenal job cutting my hair. Was my first salon haircut since before covid. Everyone was super friendly and made everything super enjoyable!

Ken is the best! Highly recommend all the staff for any hair needs. Everyone works together for the best experience. I've been a customer for years, look forward to the years to come.

One of THE worst haircuts I’ve ever gotten. Hairstylist had no idea what I wanted and just chopped off a bunch of hair while claiming she knows what she’s doing. The last time I had a haircut like this was in the 6th grade and I definitely don’t recommend going to this salons for anyone under the age of 50? Unless you wanna regret the next few months growing our your hair from some 90s pop stat hairstyle to normal again. Such a terrible salon.

Went here for a haircut and to touch up my blonde. Xander was professional and easy to talk to. They constantly checked in throughout the process, making sure I was comfortable and got the exact color and style I wanted. Sy also jumped in to help with my curly cut, and they were a great team. Also, the prices here are so reasonable and I super appreciated the student discount on the cut! This place is wonderful, and I'm so glad to have a hair place nearby that I can frequent.
