She listens, asks the right questions, and somehow turns vague ideas into great results. The work speaks for itself every time. The Alchemist Salon has a great vibe. Relaxed, cool, not pretentious. Bonus points for a salon that has dogs. That alone tells you everything you need to know. I also really love the products they use. My hair actually feels healthy after appointments, not just styled. Highly recommend Madison if you want someone talented, patient, and trustworthy.

I had a hair extension service done last year at this salon. During the consultation, I discussed…read morethe look I wanted, but the final result did not match what I expected. The color was not a proper match to my hair, and I was not given a clear opportunity to review or approve the length before installation. After the service, I noticed that some of the extension bonds were visible and the overall application did not blend naturally with my hair. At the time, I left a positive review shortly after my appointment, but I later felt it did not reflect my actual experience. I was also dealing with personal circumstances that made it difficult for me to address the issues right away. I am sharing this update so others have a more accurate picture of my experience

My hair went from flat and unstructured to soft, styled, and full of life. It genuinely changed how I feel walking out the door. John has a great eye for what works and clearly knows what he's doing. He didn't just give me a generic cut. He shaped everything in a way that actually suits my face and texture. The result feels polished but still natural, which is exactly what I wanted. On top of that, he's just a genuinely kind and easy person to talk to. The whole appointment felt relaxed and comfortable, not awkward or rushed. If you're on the fence, don't be. This was one of the best hair experiences I've had, and I'll absolutely be going back.

Updated Review: I've been seeing Kelly Viviani for the last five years, and I genuinely wouldn't…read moretrust anyone else with my hair... period. When I say she's the one blonding and color queen in Los Angeles County, I mean that with my whole chest. There is no one doing it like Kelly. Not only is she insanely talented, but she's also one of the most personal, personable, and easy-to-connect-with humans you'll ever sit in a chair with. Every appointment feels less like a salon visit and more like catching up with a friend. The conversations are effortless, the energy is always good, and the amount of laughter we share during processing time is honestly therapeutic. And this pink? Absolute perfection. She somehow found the exact shade of pink that matches my personality... bold, soft, powerful, and unapologetically me. It's not just color, it's me! Kelly doesn't just do hair; she gets people. She listens, she understands, and she creates looks that feel authentic, confident, and aligned with who you are. So, if you're looking for someone you can trust long-term, someone who delivers consistently flawless color, and someone who makes every appointment feel like a vibe: Kelly Viviani is your girl. No competition. No question. No hesitation. Just call her.

I asked a lot of questions about layers, styling, washing frequency, hair health, and he patiently answered every one of them. It's obvious that he genuinely enjoys what he does and has a great understanding of hair. He was confident with his techniques, professional, and very kind throughout the appointment. Most importantly, he fixed the face-framing pieces I had been unhappy with and gave me a haircut that feels much more flattering and intentional. I left feeling educated, listened to, and happy with the result. I would definitely return.

I found this place through Yelp and was a bit hesitant since I hadn't dyed my hair in a while, but…read moreI decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed. I paid $620 total (including a 15% tip, $540 before tip) for a balayage and haircut, which felt extremely high--especially considering the haircut alone was only $80. During the appointment, the experience itself was uncomfortable. Chemicals were dripping onto my face, leaving stains on my forehead, and when my hair was washed, the water was cold and splashed everywhere. A few days later, after washing and styling my hair the way I normally do, I noticed how off the balayage looked. My roots already appeared very grown out--almost halfway down my head. I understand balayage is meant to grow out naturally, but this looked like it had been done months ago when it had only been a week. Even my family commented that it looked grown out. I called the salon to see if they could fix the top portion, and I was told my stylist, Angel, would call me back--but I never heard from her. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Not only was the service expensive, but the results didn't meet expectations, and there was no follow-up or effort to make it right.
