Sheila did an AMAZING job on lightening and blending out my hair! She has great energy and makes sure any change she makes is ok with you. I loved how she checked before trimming my ends so it stayed the length I want. I will be going back! read more

Diana is amazing! Her color is perfection and I love her cuts. She is also the kindest person who'll ever meet...and with talent!! I brought in the wrong color hair and she drove to the nearby hair supply store and found my color extensions. I needed it for a film shoot the following day. Now, that's customer service read more

I used to get so anxious to get my hair highlighted but Diana made all of that go away - I know that I can expect it to be just as I want it every single time. I feel so lucky to have found her. She really is an artist!! Diana recently gave me my very first keratin treatment and it's so awesome. I think it's been about a month and a half since I got the treatment and it still blow dries so much quicker than before and with absolutely no frizz. I've even had my hair styled by Diana and she's so creative and ridiculously talented (see picz). She has been specially trained in up dos and I know she can do exactly what you want done to your hair. Look at all the cool stuff she did with mine!! Best of all, she's so sweet and awesome to talk to. You will not be bored while waiting for your hair to be more beautiful than ever. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT NOW! You will not regret it :) read more

So thankful for Diana! I've entrusted her with my hair for about 4 years now and since then my hair has been so healthy. From cuts to color to styling, Diana has you covered. She has taken my hair from virgin dark brown to a beautiful ashy blonde without damaging it, and I am in love with the blonde. She knows color, she's studied and researched her products and she knows what's she doing. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is what happens when a person pursues their passion! I met Diana in a social setting via admiring her husband's hair. He called her over and introduced me -- I demanded her business card. I live in Santa Monica and have not found the right stylist here, so I made a convenient appointment and drove to Sherman Oaks. I must concur with others here, Diana's brilliance lies in pure skill and love for what she does. This is enhanced with her rare ability to really listen and be sensitive to what the client wants. She produced a gorgeous ash color in one appointment that I had been trying to get for OVER A YEAR. The cut was flawless. Her attention to detail and kindness - supreme! I've found my LA stylist. Finally. Super thanks, Diana. See you next time. :-) read more

I've been to Diana twice now, both visits to do a keratin and most recently to do color. She is so incredibly sweet and talented, she's the only one I am letting touch my hair from now on because she actually listens and gives you what you want. She didn't push me to cut my hair which is a first for me! Her salon is so inviting, she makes you feel at home. My boyfriend even hung out for a little as i finished my glass of wine! ;) She transformed my hair that hasn't been highlighted in 5 months. She's truly a hair goddess! read more

I love, love, LOVE Diana! I just had my first appointment with her this morning and she was just the sweetest and so much fun to talk to through the session! Not only was she very fast but she did an incredible and flawless job! She really pays attention to detail and truly listens to what you need. I'm over the moon, ecstatic with how my hair turned out! I'm also so grateful that Diana was able to squeeze me in at 7:30am before an important audition that just popped up. And casting even told me my hair looked amazing! Diana is my favorite and I feel like I've found my home salon! read more

It's definitely hard to find a good stylist so I am so happy that I found Diana! She is so down-to-earth, talented, and a total sweetheart. Overall good vibes! I received a keratin treatment and haircut from her and I loved how she was able to transform my hair. The first thing she did was wash my hair - and let me tell you, it is one of my biggest pet peeves when going to a salon and the stylist carelessly washes your hair! (e.g. water splashes all over you, water is too cold/hot, throws your head around like a rag doll) Diana was so gentle and great that she made it such a pleasant experience compared to what I was used to. If you found her through Groupon (like I did), definitely ask her if she could honor the same price. HIGHLY recommend her! Will not go to anyone else anymore! read more

Diana has a wonderful kind soul. She is meticulous, talented and you can just feel the love that she has for what she does. I initially went to her for color and she was very detailed and precise . I Recently had my hair cut with Diana. Her attention to detail was precise and amazing. I love my new hair style. She takes her time and styles your hair to what is most flattering to your face...;) I'm so happy to have found her! read more

I've been using Diana for 15 months and she's fantastic. When I first came to her I had recently had another hairdresser completely mess up my hair and Diana not only nailed the color correction but made my hair look exactly like the pictures I showed her. I asked for an ombre that blends the blond I wanted into my natural hair color so it would look good as it grows out. I love the work she does so much that I won't use anyone else. Diana is also a really sweet person and the time flies by when I'm sitting in her chair. Beyond color she also is an amazing hair stylist. She came and did the bridal parties hair for my best friends wedding. Everyone's hair looked amazing. I typically have issues styling my own hair but she worked magic on it. In the picture I'm including she's responsible for the color and styling. read more

I'm been coming to this hair salon for about over year now and I love it. It was important to me that it's very private so I can relax also that it is calm environment and Dianas place is exactly what I was looking for. She is so kind and nice person, listens your wishes and fulfill it perfectly. I'm very picky who I let do my hair/ beauty services but with her hands I can 100% relax. read more

Diana is amazing! I found her on Yelp after I messed my hair up at home with box dye. She thoughtfully answered all my questions, and helped me figure out how to best fix my hair. I could tell that she really cared that my hair turned out the way I was envisioning it. Her rates are so reasonable. She even included a fantastic hand massage and a blowout and style. I felt like a whole new woman when she was done working her magic! read more

Diana has been my stylist for about 3/4 years now. I am from the Sacramento area and went to her before she moved (boohoo) to Los Angeles. I will NEVER go to anyone else, even if it means waiting a few months for her to make her trip back to Sacramento. She has done an ombre on my hair, given me extensions, cut my hair, and I had a keratin treatment done with her. All have turned out amazing. Not only is she talented, but she is easy to talk to and holds a good conversation. I promise you will not be disappointed with her work! xo- Ashlyn read more

After years of never fully trusting another stylist to cut my hair I've finally found THE ONE! As a stylist myself I tend to have high expectations of other stylists performing services on me, more so when it comes to hair cuts. Diana was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked into the building. She was attentive to my concerns and took time to understand what I wanted to be achieved. read more

First time at the Alchemist Hair Lab and it was such a wonderful experience. Diana was so sweet and offered me a drink as soon as I arrived which made me feel very taken care of. Aside from that she was very descriptive of what she was going to do to my hair and the reason why so it made me feel included in all the decision-making. The place itself is such a cute and Zen environment and was very clean. I received a hair color and style and I couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend. read more

I started going to Diana several years ago and have had the best experience each time. She is very personable and an incredibly talented stylist. She does my cut and color, and I've never left feeling anything other than gorgeous! She also did my hair and my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding last year!! She did a stunning job - I couldn't have asked for anything more! read more

I wish I could give her a million stars, she is seriously the best. SO genuinely nice and easy to get along with, adorable little salon space, and seriously knows what she's doing. She fixed a color/cut/extension situation I was having and I can't stop looking at my hair! I have jumped around a bit with stylists but I think I found the one. so happy with her work! read more

I have been going to Diana for ALL of my hair needs for about 5 years now. She recently moved to the Los Angeles area and I could not even think about trying to find someone else (I'm in Sacramento). So I hopped on a plane the first chance I got and let her work her magic on my mane. The Alchemist Hair Lab is the perfect location to let yourself be pampered. Whether it's a trim, a new color, several colors, a keratin treatment; I've had them all and Diana does not disappoint. Not only is she one of the sweetest and most talented stylists I know, she also LISTENS to what you want, answers any questions you have, and helps you make a decision when you need it. Now give yourself the gift of beautiful hair, and make an appointment! read more

I've gotten a haircut a couple times here and I've enjoyed the experience every time. Diana is a very skilled and detail oriented stylist who is able to take my odd requests and turn it into something great. I always feel that she listens carefully to my detailed requests and will think through/give many options when I am uncertain about what I want. She also takes the time to go through with styling and hair care best practices, I always learn so much and am impressed at the quality of her work. read more

Dianna was such a sweetheart. I got a Keratin Treatment from her. Took me a good while to find a good place to get keratin treatment done. I saw her ad on Groupon and contacted her if the Groupon price is still valid. She honored the price so I just purchased it directly from her. I only use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and I do not straightened my hair or blow dried it and my Keratin Treatment lasted about a month and a half. read more

Diana is an artistic goddess and keen architect when it comes to hair. I've been seeing her for 4 1/2 years now and my hair hasn't been this healthy and flat out PRETTY in years. She listens to your needs, doesn't turn into Edward Scissorhands when trimming your hair (i.e. a long hair girl's best friend), is a master of color and leaves you feeling like you walked out of salon in the clouds. She's like Michelangelo. Your beautiful look is already in the hair you have before she starts. It's all just a trim and a foil away. read more

I'm over the moon with my hair ! Diane has brought my hair back to life. I got keratin, and highlights. She doesn't not try to offer things you don't need, she is simply excellent at hair ! You will be glad you tryed her !! read more

Diana is spectacular ! She colored my hair for the first time today and styled it better than anyone ever has. She is an alchemist! My color is perfect. Did I already say how much I love the way she styled my hair? She is a delightful person and a pleasure to spend time with; I'd spend time with her if she weren't doing my hair! I'm telling everyone I know. She is my BHF.. Best hairdresser forever :) read more

The best stylist in California! My hair is very difficult to color and takes forever but she makes it fun and I always leave feeling gorgeous!! She is also great about fitting me in with my crazy schedule. If you are looking for a change or just want to feel beautiful call and make an appointment you won't be disappointed!! read more

I am so thankful for Diana as a stylist. I have been with her for two cuts , one color now. My first cut and color, Diana spent an incredible amount of time and detail to ensure that my vivid (purple and orchid) color was stellar. I had never done a color like that before. I told her I wanted it to fade out before i had to begin my teaching job the next fall, and it did! Not only is she superb with color, but her cuts are gorgeous. I really feel like she cares about my hair ! She also gives a great scalp massage (and a hand massage! So great!), uses awesome products that smell great and leave hair looking healthy, and she is just genuinely fun and nice to talk with during the appointment. read more

Straightforward and honest, at a consultation she will tell you what to expect for the life of the style you're going for. Informative and gives you many options. Can't wait for my appointment. read more

I am extremely satisfied with Diana's work. She was able to give me a full customer consultation before the process got started. She had me come in the day before for a test strand which I have never had before. She then was able to review with me my hair sessions steps to reach my desired goals. I am so excited to have started this process with her. She has truly made me feel like she cares about the integrity of my hair and her work. What are you waiting for? Go visit her!!!!! This girl knows what she's doing!! read more

I've been seeing Diana for about a year now (every 2-3 months), and I'm so happy I found her! She listens to exactly what I want, takes her time making sure the final result is perfect (a fellow perfectionist!). One time, I wanted a really drastic change in my cut, I showed her my inspiration photos I brought, and she went conservative at first, then we worked our way to sculpting out the final shape and texture. She gives good advice on how to keep your color, keratin, and cut looking fresh as long as you can, and she is so fun to chat with the whole time I'm in her chair! Diana is my favorite! ^_^ read more

I've been coming to Diana for cut and color the past 4 years.She styled my hair for my engagement photos as well as hair for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding. They came out gorgeous! One thing about Diana is she always listens to what you want and makes me feel like a glamorous rockstar when I leave! Her suggestions alway go above and beyond what you expect. I love her special attention to detail and think she is a brilliant colorist! I also love that I'm always able to reach her and schedule an appointment quickly! read more
