I feel such a sense of relief having found Alchemy Hair design and Spa and Christopher who now cuts my hair. It reminds me of old- fashioned service, polite and genuine. They bring it, without the rock-star attitude and ego, and you won't need to shout to be heard above the techno-tunes. I was beginning to feel desperate after a number of not so good experiences in some of Victoria's top salons and was considering a Vancouver salon as my next step. I found Alchemy Salon on line and explored their web site and blog and that's when I realized that this was one I had to try.

He determined a cut that made my thin hair look thick and beautiful and shaped it to compliment the structure of my face. No one was rushing me through, the music was lovely, and the young lady who shampooed my hair was gentle and polite. The Cut and colour that I got that day was the best hair day of my life. I found my hair's true potential! Christopher still cuts my hair but Janet did my colour recently and she is also very experienced. They know what they're doing. I trust them both 110% because of the results and they really seem to care. No more anxiety over hair… Just joy! Barbara
