Alchemist

"I couldn’t be happier with my haircut. I got my hair cut by Shelley and explained to her what I wanted, she walked me through her thoughts and how to achieve the look I wanted at home at well. She was more than helpful in helping me understand my hair and was super friendly. I’ve been scared to get my hair cut again after a few bad ones in the past, now I feel at ease and happy to know if found the place and person I want to do my hair. The salon is absolutely stunning and the staff is very friendly. I’ve already booked my next appointment and can’t wait to go back!"

"Today was my first visit to Alchemist Salon on Charlotte Avenue, and it was a genuinely excellent one. It's not often that when I walk in the door of a new salon, the first words that spring to mind are "warm and inviting". It's lovely inside and decorated with many MANY gorgeous plants. Jess the receptionist greeted me warmly, and after my appointment we had a great chat. Right on the dot of the appointment time I had booked Mark greeted me, and we proceeded with me receiving one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I've had my hair cut every six weeks for the last 40 years. I know when I've had an excellent haircut, because I have had so few. I wear my hair very short, and because I've had so many haircuts over my lifetime, I know exactly what I want. It's been difficult finding someone who's really good at short precision cuts, because long flowing (cookie cutter) locks is The Nashville Way. Public Service Announcement for the women of Nashville: Change it up! Do something different! Don't look like every single other woman with long hair out there! Be brave and Try. A. New. Style! Mark and I saw my hair, my style, and my hairstyle from the same perspective. He did such a great job cutting it, and I finally feel completely self-confident with the way my hair looks for the first time in quite a while. I would highly recommend him and his salon in general to anyone who wants a great haircut! Go book an appointment!"

"Getting your hair done surrounded by books, natural light, and plants, what could be better? I love the atmosphere at Alchemist, and Glory is a fantastic stylist. She’s a wiz with coarse, thick, textured hair and a master of subtle color. I always leave feeling happy and with an extra boost of confidence!"

"The Alchemist is a relaxing, plant-lovers dream, with amazing stylists + positive energy. I so look forward each time I get my hair cut with Laura Beth because I know it's ME time to relax, unwind and have a good laugh. Laura Beth always listens to what style I want and is flexible when scheduling. They offer early morning and evening appointments which works for my busy schedule. Plenty of parking and good pricing."

"The Alchemist located in Nashville's L & L Market is not at all your typical salon. Paint a picture of an old chemistry professor’s lab, filled with natural lighting for what appears to be more rainforest conservatory than styling salon. The shop itself is filled with plants stretching from floor to ceiling, endless stacks of books surrounding you & self care products. As if that wasn’t a utopia by itself, located in the midst of all that wonder is where their stylists are given the freedom to transform client’s hair. A Salon Paradise? They certainly think so. That’s them in a nutshell. Oh, we didn't say nutty professor. Expect to see hair, plants, books and a local celebrity anytime you stop in. I'm not at liberty to discuss which one they were transforming when I was there. Too bad I didn't have the time to revamp my Phyllis Dillar Hair design, but make an appointment and you won't be disappointed. Stop by & visit them to see for yourself! The only thing you have to lose is that same tired old look."
