Customer Review
Underwhelming Experience, Overpriced Ego Boost
I visited Alchemy & I with high hopes, given their lavish descriptions and promise of a 'luxurious experience.' Unfortunately, my appointment felt more like a hastily assembled checklist of overpriced services rather than a genuine, personalized pampering session. The 'bespoke head massages' lasted all of 30 seconds, and the 'weighted blankets' seemed like an afterthought, tossed over my shoulders as an obligation rather than a thoughtful gesture. The Blow-Dry Bar, which I was looking forward to, was more of a chaotic, loud environment than a relaxing, indulgent treat. The blow-dry itself was nothing special, and the 'bubbles' – which I assumed would be champagne or a similar luxury drink – were merely some cheap prosecco served in a flimsy plastic cup. For a salon that prides itself on detail and community, I found the experience to be surprisingly impersonal and lacking in the very luxury it promises. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect was the price, which, despite being based on hair length rather than gender, felt exorbitant for the quality of service received. The gender-neutral pricing policy, while commendable in theory, does little to offset the overall sense of being nickel-and-dimed for every additional service or product. In a market saturated with salons offering similar, if not superior, services at more competitive prices, Alchemy & I fails to justify its premium pricing with actual value. Unless you're looking to pay a significant premium for the illusion of luxury rather than the real thing, I'd recommend exploring other options.
