Message From Alcheme Salon Inc

Magic meets science. Transformation. Creation. Artisan and technician meld into one. The vision of an environment where the rules bend at the hands of skilled professionals. Where fashion sets the margins, but human insight and creativity fill the lines between with images of elegance, punk, classic, trendy, and the avante' garde. The surroundings: open, serene, crisp. Ever present energy in the calmness. Stylists are diverse in color and tastes but united with lab coats of white. Clients feel comfortable and are treated with the utmost professionalism. The client makes a wish. The stylist is both the author of the prescription and the catalyst for change.What is Alcheme Salon about? The marriage of magic and science. The wonder of human skill and artistry. The transformation of the image.
