Amazing experience with Team Alchemic Beauty! Curly hair is difficult to style. But Isha is a true artist. My hair has never looked better! Isha also explained about the products that are right for my hair. And she and her team make one feel at home right away — they are so warm and friendly!
Nourin Rahman
Just amazed… totally worth it so happy with the result. Loving my curls 😊 never felt this way before 😊 Isha had the patience to understand what exactly i was looking for and deliver. During our conversation, she gave me a lot of information about my hair, care, and products I should use, which I had no clue about. It’s nice to understand your own hair 😊. She suggested a hair cut and color according to my skin tone and my hair density, texture & curls. The end result was amazing 🤩 A note of thanks to Isha, Riya, and the team who were very helpful and loved the spirit. Thanks to all of you 😊🤗 for making me feel soooo beautiful 💝😊

I got my mother here for a hair revamp, and I am so glad that I did. Akshata did a fab fab fab job right from the go. If you are looking to start your curly hair journey – I strongly recommend booking the consultation, cut, and conditioning package here. Mom was taught all the tips and tricks to start looking after her beautiful curly hair from wash to style. Thank you team for an amazing experience.

Alchemic beauty is the best place to get your hair cut and coloured. I’ve been visiting them for hair cuts since a year – Akshata and Akanksha have always done a great job!!
Also, I recently got my hair coloured from them and it was an amazing experience. Jinal did a wonderful job! She was calm and understood what I had in mind and I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Their entire process is super organised. They will not waste your time at all 🙂
I have been and will be recommending Alchemic beauty to everyone because their team is amazing! ✨
PS: this salon has a vibe which you won’t find anywhere else 😊
