Recently stopped by this location while staying at the Hilton and was pleasantly surprised. This type of stop in spa does not exist where I live and I thought it was a fun idea to try out and also to treat my daughter to her first facial as a nice way to relax during a stressful time and being busy with school. The woman at the front desk was so nice and helpful and fit us in together the same day despite it being a tight squeeze. I liked the half spa type thing they have going on, change your top but keep your pants on. The facial I received, the signature, wasn't as lux as other facials I've had but for the price I thought it was great. My only real issue was the lighting, when you're laying there trying to relax having a bright light overhead for the entire experience makes it difficult; at one point I had this lovely heavy mask on which finally darkened my eyes and was very literally in pain when it was removed due to the brightness of the lights on my eyes which had adjusted to darkness and my eyes started tearing due to the pain. Please, DIM THE LIGHTS! More spa like music would be nice too but I didn't really mind the Hozieresque music they had on. My daughter has dry, sensitive, acne prone skin and we went with the clear skin facial which is only 45 minutes but she didn't have much to say about it after other than "it was nice" so I'm not sure we got the impression and relaxation I was hoping for, she did also mention the pain of the bright lights in her face while laying on the table. Over all I really enjoyed my experience, it's a great option when you don't want to dedicate half your day to the spa, my tech Mo was very kind and skilled and I really enjoyed the time she spent working on my tight jaw muscles. Overall I would recommend this place and I would return myself. I do genuinely hope they figure out how to dim the lights because searing eye pain isn't very relaxing. read more

I went there about a couple of months ago and honestly I normally have a better experience. I would highly recommend if you are going to get a treatment to state the name of the person you want doing the treatment. They have this "alchemy lash lift apprenticeship person for a discount" thing. I normally go to one professional woman, but I did NOT ask for the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship ruined my lashes for these two months (some lashes even fell out) and for the normal 70 dollars, they charged me 65. Ouch. I think the person at the front booking my service who didn't let me know, was straight up dishonest. read more

Alchemy face bar is my go to for facials. The Alchemy signature facial is my favorite. I have tried several of the other facials which do not compare. I always leave glowing & feeling rejuvenated. The customer service is always excellent as well. Highly recommend boulder location. read more

I've been coming to Alchemy for Botox for years and I went for my regular appointment last Thursday. I woke up on Saturday morning with blurry vision and pain in my right eye, alchemy did basically nothing to calm my nerves and said this is a side affect of the Botox, I will never get Botox again because of this experience and will definitely not come to alchemy. I had to go to the optometrist this morning in order for my vision to go back to 20/20. I also now have one eyebrow that raises more than the other. I would not recommend going here for any injections. read more

Alchemy Face Bar - Eyebrow Services Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Taryn A. is the best! She has a very calming presence and explained all of the science behind the treatments she gave me. My favorite part was getting an arm/hand massage while the collagen mask sat on my face. It's like a weighted blanket for your face! read more

This review and my positive experiences is purely because of Jamie! Jamie is a literal healer. I've had many facials in my timer and she is absolutely the best!!! She is the most caring, kind, experienced facialist I've ever had by far. The minute I lay down on the table I feel so relaxed and cared for. My skin is always glowing after a facial with her. read more

Went once, here's my take: The front desk snooty. They acted as if you didn't just walk in with five of them standing there talking. We interrupted their convo --Not warm. Very cold check out with a passive aggressive remark. Clinician was way too talkative and mentioned her time in the business at least four times with an almost chip on her shoulder as to why she's not somewhere better. It has value, it's a little less expensive -however do you really want to be in a bullpen having a facial? Not worth the savings. Same cost for Botox to go to a top doc in Boulder so why go there? read more

I absolutely love going to Ayuna C. for my lash lift and lash tint. She's super sweet and great at her job! The receptionists are always very nice and accommodating. Overall they are all communicative. read more

To start, I knew that I would not make it in time and called ahead to make sure they could accommodate me. I ended up being 7 mins late due to a tree being downed by a freak windstorm that happened within the past hour today. When I arrived, the esthetician rushed me back (understandable but a bit dramatic ). She was being a bit rude a rough. I get that she was running a little bit behind b/c I was late, but she could have rescheduled me. She put cleanser on my brows that filled my eye area and stung. I mentioned that it was getting in my eye as I wiped it away and she said nothing, but continued. So I realized that this woman was not paying attention and I did not feel safe continuing and I told her I needed to get up. I shared with the front desk that I did not feel comfortable continuing and I was met with, well you still have to pay. I did not receive a service. I got up b/c I was feeling unsafe by how the esthetician was acting. I will definitely not be returning. read more

This is one of the cutest places I have been. Although I have not used any of their facial services, everyone at this location is very courteous and professional. From making appointments to checking out, it has all been very easy. I come here strictly to get Botox from Rachel. She works at both the Boulder and Denver locations. She is one of the best injectors I have come across. Additionally, I believe the pricing is very competitive and she does take Brilliant Distinctions. Because she does a lot of Botox, the vials are always fresh. read more

Had an amazing Basic facial + Microderm with Morgan. She spoke in a soft and relaxing voice the moment she greeted me--which is key because the facial setting is pretty open. You will be like 4 feet away from another station, but they keep it so quiet and play soothing music. I changed into a towel and Morgan placed a warm blanket over me and asked if I wanted steam. She asked if I had any questions and whether I understood what microderm was. She took the time to walk me through the process, and even show me the instrument to soothe any concerns I had. I generally have pretty oily skin, with some dry areas. Other than some dark spots, I didn't have any major skin concerns, so I just wanted a refresher. My face was glowing afterwards, and I could notice details that I hadn't before. A few days later, my skin still looks good and my dark spots are still lighter. Definitely coming back next month! read more

Sheila is awesome! I haven't been for a facial in years and after having some skin issues I decided to check them out. Sheila did a great job making me feel comfortable and suggesting what my next service should be. She suggested a facial oil that has saved my life in the winter! read more

I think this is a wonderful place but I had a bad experience and I want others to avoid my mistake. I went to Alchemy for my first time getting waxed. I use topical acne medication daily that I would later find out would make my skin not suitable for waxing (even though I obviously do not apply the products under my eyebrows). Before my appointment, I signed the waiver and filled out the standard forms that are required. On these forms, I clearly indicated the medications I use. IF ONLY someone had actually looked at the form before I got waxed, maybe I wouldn't be in this position. I also wish I would have done more research. I'm really disappointed. I had a great experience but now I look ridiculous, and this could have been easily avoided. I learned my lesson, but better communication and attention to detail is needed on Alchemy's part. read more

***note I never leave reviews, but this situation was particularly irritating. I've come here once and didn't experience this. Went in for a full set of lashes. My esthetician Sarah was quite sweet and mentioned experiencing difficulty with attaching lashes due to the previous lash perm. (Booked preciously at the Boulder Alchemy Face Bar location) Noted that I should have been told to wait for the lashes to straighten naturally before booking the appointment. Offered to rectify the situation by charging a 1/2 set. Guess the front desk manager Bethany didn't agree so got discounted 15% instead. I wasn't thrilled walking out with lashes that weren't filled as much as I've received from other salons. I appreciate Sarah's candor + willingness to touch up, but I only have 48 hrs to see. Which I thought was short given that the lashes should last 3-4 weeks so if I saw them fall out with a week... feels like that would be enough to come back and get fixed. What was uncomfortable was getting a call immediately after my appointment from Bethany insisting that it wasn't the salon's fault for the unsatisfactory service. It felt so uncomfortable to receive an unprompted call to deflect blame onto a customer. read more

Today I had my first Alchemy Signature facial at the Boulder location with Chelsea. Best facial I've ever had!! Chelsea was so gentle and purposeful with all her movements, I felt so relaxed. Chelsea took great care of me and I am already looking forward to my next facial! Highly recommend this location if you are thinking about treating yourself (or others) to a world-class facial. read more

Best. Facial. Ever. Hands down. My favorite is the signature, but you really can't go wrong. It's a community setting, so you're in a big room with others, which I thought would bother me, but it's actually super comfortable and the facial is so good, you forget about your surroundings. I drive 45 minutes once a month for this facial. read more

Receive a lash lift and my lashes broke and are now short and uneven. Completely ruined my natural lashes absolutely do not recommend this service. read more

This place is heavenly. For so many reasons. Let me start with the ambiance... beautiful, natural sunlight and a friendly, professional staff. The aestheticians are well-trained and receive monthly education on services and products (I know. I asked). The music being played (yes- I'm picky about this as well) was relaxing and not too loud. This may sound silly, but there's nothing worse than getting a spa treatment and the music in the room is loud and you can't relax. Everything was perfect here at this spa. Spahhhh! I got the skin on my face dermaplaned today ($70) and my lashes curled and tinted (unsure of the cost). My aesthetician was Franny - so sweet, knowledgeable, and sincerely engaged with my skin goals. I will re-book with Franny in a few weeks for more dermaplaning and extractions. There was a fun bridal party going on during my appointment ... everyone was having a blast while they got their hair styled and make up applied. The bride was stunning, and they made her hair and make up (as well as her bridesmaids') like something out of a bridal magazine. As far as parking and location go... tons of parking. Easy to find. Coffee shop right next door. Just a few blocks away from the Pearl Street Mall. I will be scheduling more treatments in the near future at Alchemy Face Bar. I usually go to a different spa - kind of close by with higher pricing and less parking - and will be scheduling at Alchemy Face Bar from here on out. Thank you Alchemy Face Bar!! read more

Go see Morgan Higgins! I've seen a few staff members at Alchemy by booking whoever was available - had a good experience with them all and don't think you can go wrong - but Morgan has been my favorite! She is delightful, patient, knowledgeable, and kind. Extractions are always not fun, but she was as gentle and sweet as possible. She also was very detailed and communicative when she gave me a lash and brow tint. I highly, highly recommend Morgan! Overall I love Alchemy. I love how my skin has improved since I started going in for facials and got advice. The cost isn't low, but I feel it is a good value, knowledgeable staff, and an investment in better skin. The online booking process is so easy. I don't love the single open room and it was a surprise to me when I first went. It makes sense for a more cost-effective space and the services do not require privacy, but I feel like I am disturbing others when I ask questions. FIRST TIMERS: I think it is good to know you'll be in a larger room with (I think) six other stations. For a facial you'll be asked to remove your shirt, pull down your bra straps, and put on a towel smock that wraps around under your arms. This is fine! But I first went in a dress and tights. I felt very uncomfortable in just my tights and the wrap around towel and wish I had known this advance, which is why I'm including this information in the review. Now I wear high waisted leggings in the winter, and a jumpsuit or sundress with easy movable straps in the summer, so that I feel more comfortable. Just something you might want to keep in mind! read more

Amazing facial by Ashley! Excellent service by the staff. Delicious tea and chocolate. Great product selection. Will be back!!! read more

Alchemy Face Bar - Complimentary tea and chocolates - Eyebrow Services Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

ohhh myyyy goodness. How does this place not have more reviews! The booking process was easy and they even responded to a question over email promptly. I love how they offered a 10% discount on a service if you sign up for their newsletter. Prices were insanely affordable, I live in SF and for the quality of the facial it made sense. I had a wonderful facial with Annie. When I went to change into my facial robe, they had written on chalk 'welcome to your facial Helen' so cute! As soon as I walked in, I felt relaxed and was greeted by the manager. Offered tea and water. I am in love with the Eminence product line that they use. I had heard about them from a friend, and Annie did a wonderful cocktail of ingredients. My skin felt amazing after, and she did a large amount of well needed extractions. I had the Clear Skin facial - though it included light extractions, she did way more, and didn't charge extra! I added the chemical peel and Ultrasonic. Annie had talented hands, was calm and really cared about me finding the products for myself, and it not pushy. I'm going to buy 3 Eminence products now!!! I'm so sad that I don't live here. The prices are so great and it is so convenient. I like the open concept, it makes it more affordable and there are more appointments available! read more

I received the Clear Skin Facial, plus dermaplaning by aesthetician Mel. My experience was just wonderful. Mel was very knowledgeable about the products she was using on my skin and made sure to tell me each step she was going to perform on my skin. I left Alchemy with my face G L O W I N G If only Mel could bring Alchemy and there magic to Dallas, TX. Alchemy is so chic/bohemian inside, and the music they play makes the atmosphere very peaceful. All the girls are so sweet there, and I highly recommend all of them for your facial, magic needs! read more

This place is the cutest! Taylor did my lash extensions and honestly it felt like we were old friends. She's a sweetie... along with everyone there. I felt so welcomed. I'm pleased with my service... (I go back next week for my first facial) so excited! The atmosphere is great, the music, and they are extremely sweet and knowledgeable. Go see them! You won't regret it! Prices are reasonable. :) read more

While Alchemynproduces amazing complexions and lashes this establishment is SO much more. Here you have a tribe of women who are kind, celebratory and genuine. Boulder is a community of financial comfort yet Alchemy is affordable yet luxurious. I have had services all over the world and can attest that Alchemy is unique. Walking into a beautiful space full of loving and gracious women is a treat itself then add expert hands and great product well, simply put, you need to be here. read more

My go-to place for facial care and lashes. I've been coming her monthly since January and am always blown away by the service. EVERY person is so welcoming, nice and knowledgeable about skincare, lashes, and overall beauty treatment. I have to shoutout Kimberly and Anya as they are my regular girls - they are amazing!!! I typically get a signature facial with either a peel or dermaplane with extractions. The lashes... are addicting! They look SO natural but still give you that "oomph"! I get so many compliments when I have extensions on from alchemy. Highly recommend Alchemy if you are ever in boulder/Denver and looking for some beauty treatments. read more

Words can not describe the amazing experience my mother and I had at Alchemy, but I'm going to try. I am a student at CU Boulder and there is no greater headache than move-in week. Between running back and forth from Target and Home Goods to the dorms (not to mention the traffic), my mom and I were in desperate need of some chill time. Lucky for us they had two facial appointments available. Upon entering I was greeted with welcoming hellos and smiles. Everything looked absolutely stunning. After speaking with the specialist and finding the right treatment for our skin, we changed into a comfy robe and got to chill-axing. Once  everything was fresh, sanitized, and clean, we both received the Alchemy Signature facial from Sarie and Taylor. They left us feeling pampered and relaxed with radiating skin!  Totally recommend and will be returning in the future! read more

I went here to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted. This place is so cute inside!! Mel did my eyebrows and they turned out amazing!! My eyebrows are super light you can barely seem them normally. I went a decent amount darker and bushy - Mel did them exactly as I asked! They are phenomenal. I'd definitely suggest going to see Mel. read more

For only $20, I got the most friendly, professional, and spot-on brow shaping of my life. I had to come on and leave a good review! When my makeup artist told me to get my eyebrows done but "keep them thick and natural" I was worried that whoever I went to would take too much off. She recommended Alchemy and I do too! Plus they give you tea and chocolate and have cute decor & products! read more

Julie was simply amazing! My eyebrows look soooooo good! She was kind, patient and took great care of me! Go visit the face bar TODAY! You'll love it! read more

I live in Denver and I drive all the way to Boulder to see Annie at Alchemy because she is the best! I absolutely love their new space on 28th street - the instant you walk in the doors you feel relaxed! I am 26 and my skin has been problematic for the past 2 years. I started seeing Annie in April and my skin has cleared up tremendously! I use the Eminence Skin Care line at home and love all of their products. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I scheduled a hydro glow go plus and an additional 10 minute facial massage. The esthetician was kind, and professional but my appointment ended at least 5 minutes earlier than it should have. Additionally, she only did one pass with they hydro-wand. It almost seemed like a 10 minute hyrdo facial with a 25 minute facial massage. read more

This was my first time to a spa of this kind and first time getting a facial. I was booked with Morgan, she was fantastic! So kind and did a great job, I will definitely be back soon. read more

I'd like to give it 3.5 stars but I can't and it's not worth 4. Here are the pros and cons from my facial today. Maybe I'm picky...I don't know, I've enjoyed facials elsewhere more. Pros: tea when you arrive, nice lighting, great music, eminence facial, nice esthetician, ok facial, cute jewelry, nice people Cons: you're in an open room for your facial with everyone else so there's no privacy (getting on a table with an oversized wrap makes it also hard to hide your lady bits), you hear everyone's conversations the whole time so you can't relax, booking online is confusing, they don't put sheets on the table so you're sticking to the plastic table, she didn't move the pillow so it was under my knees, she didn't put any products on my neck/chest like you're supposed to, I was surprised by lack of face massage. read more

So impressed with the service and results! They were on time, offered tea upon arrival, and offered accommodations for my mom who attended with me. Beautiful location. I am a red head so hard to get a good tint but I was very pleased. read more

I've always gone to the Alchemy face bar in Denver which is always a pleasant experience. This time, I decided to make an appointment online for the Boulder shop. I went in at my appointment time and then they changed the price on me once I got there (said they couldn't do the 20% off deal even though the website said it was going to be valid for two more days. Receptionist was pretty short as well. The physical ambience of the spa itself is nice and the lash artist did a good job, but this experience gives me a reason to not want to go back again. read more

I come here for Botox from Heather. She is a dream. So patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I'm new to Botox and am really enjoying it as a preventative measure against forming wrinkles (I'm 25), and have noticed that my fine lines are healing a little bit from the reduced creasing that comes as a result of Botox. I've been twice now and the first time, we were very conservative with my dosing and only used 16 units. It was wonderful while it lasted, which was only about a month and a half. The second time I went for 25, and I'm going on a month and a half again but much stronger. It may take a try or two to determine how much you need for results and longevity, but I've been really impressed and will continue to trust Heather with needles in my face. They currently charge $12/unit and help you create an Allē account which gives you discounts every time you come. I will say that I wish the price was maybe closer to $10/unit, but I think you do get what you pay for as the product doesn't seem diluted and you pay for expertise since you aren't really supposed to tip on medical services. read more

Alchemy Face Bar - Not a fine line in sight. - Eyebrow Services Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Hats off to Stephanie for the best lash lift of my life. She took the time to gather and organize all of my downward-pointing, super-straight lashes, which is something no aesthetician has ever done for me before. The result was perfection, and my lashes are still curled six weeks later. (At the salon where I used to go, I'd be lucky if the curl lasted three weeks). This is my new favorite place! read more

I used Alchemy for my prom makeup in 2014. We coordinated the appointment via text message at the time, which was a huge mistake. It became pretty clear she double booked me and another girl for prom makeup/hair so I could only get one done even though I had scheduled both months earlier. She gave me a very beautiful and natural look that held up very well, while also taking into account what I wanted and what would go best with my dress. The bummer here was the scheduling. I originally was going to start getting lashes done here but after this I ended up going elsewhere. read more

Beautiful space and totally calming to walk into. I was confused on the location (didn't realize it was IN the hotel) but made it there for my appointment with Morgan. I got an eyelash lift and tint and an eyebrow tint. The whole process was great, Morgan talked me through everything and was a nice conversationalist. She constantly checked to see if anything was burning or uncomfortable (it wasn't! She was awesome). I loved the results of my eyelash lift and tint, however my eyebrow tint didn't turn out exactly to my expectations. BUT I should say, this is the third time I've gotten an eyebrow tint (all at different places) and I've never been completely satisfied with how they look; I find I still have to fill them in to get them to look how I want. So this part isn't central to my appointment with Alchemy, I think it's my eyebrows that just don't grab color! I would love to try their facials as they seem to have a multitude of fabulous services. I will be back!!!! read more

Alchemy is a dream. My facial with Ellen was so fun and I booked another immediately. The customer service is incredible and this is just a fun place to be. Everyone really seems to love working there and that makes a huge difference. I have purchased two products so far and will definitely get more. I recommend Alchemy to everyone! read more
