Love this adorable salon and especially the owner Imogene! I started seeing her for cuts after I went WAY too long without one during COVID. She's personable, efficient, and I always walk away with a style I love. Convenient location right on Post Road as well. Highly recommend!

Alchemy is such a great salon and Ashley Colica is an amazing stylist! I am so happy I started to see her earlier this year because I have been super happy each time I left the salon. I just went in for a balayage the other day and as she was drying my hair, instead of just letting me leave with a product she wasnt 100% confident in, she took me back to the sink for a root smudge. And I have to say I. Am. Obsessed. And so is everyone who has seen me with my new color!!!!
Ashleys passion and talent shines through effortlessly as she works and Im so happy to have found a stylist who

I saw Ashley for the first time last week and she did a cut and highlight for me. I could not be happier with her service. Her color is perfect and so is the cut. All of the people at the salon were very friendly and I am so glad I found Ashley! I will definitely be going to her from now on!
