Removing Toxic Salons
Let's discuss the environmentally conscious marvel that is The Alchemist. In our pursuit of vibrant and eco-friendly color lines, we stumbled upon a game-changer. For the past century, hairdressers have been applying toxic substances to alter hair color, laden with carcinogens that have adversely affected their health over time. Add to that the irresponsible packaging and disposal practices, and the entire process is detrimental to both the environment and our well-being. Despite this, many continue with these harmful practices for the sake of straight hair and covered grays.
At our salon, we chose a different path, prioritizing our employees' health while delivering exceptional results. With the expansion of research and the rise of indie beauty brands, we now have access to top-quality products free from corporate profit concerns. These brands genuinely care about the ingredients in their bottles, benefitting both our salon and you, the consumer.

Let's introduce you to some of the brands we've partnered with and delve into their missions:
All Nutrient Hair Color:
This line caught our attention for its versatility and staying power. It’s amazing to use a low-tox permanent hair color that has incredible results that rival any main stream brand on the market today. Since 2021, we've been huge fans. What sets them apart is their use of a 100% vegetable base, a natural and petroleum-free glycol alternative. If you've experienced adverse reactions to permanent hair color, All Nutrient might just be the solution.
Innersense: If you're after the cleanest product on the market, Innersense is a must-try. Their focus on scalp health is commendable, as they understand that 90% of hair issues stem from the roots. By removing product build-up and silicone from the scalp and hair, Innersense allows your hair to thrive. This product has offered our clients with amazing hydrating results that have transformed the feel of our clients hair returning it to it’s natural glory. Check out our Innersense Shop Here.
Hair Story: Fun, cool, and simple - that's Hair Story. They've streamlined clean products remarkably, offering simplicity in a market saturated with expansive lines. One standout product is their talc-free and aerosol-free dry shampoo, also functioning as a texturizer It’s called Powder. This is the most fun product that we use on almost all of our clients extending the life of your blow dry and adding natural volume. Check out our Hair Story Shop Here.
CULT + KING
For those seeking fun and cool products, Cult + King is the go-to brand. Their glass bottles are not just visually appealing but also environmentally responsible as they are refillable and reusable. Plus, they're formaldehyde-free, addressing a significant concern in the industry. Check out our CULT + KING Shop Here
Before making the switch to all low-tox products, I struggled with reactions and breakouts on my hands, aggravated psoriasis, and discomfort while working. Ironically, I was using "moisturizing" products that didn't serve their purpose. We grew tired of big brands prioritizing profit over health and the environment. At The Alchemist, we invite you to join our movement, promoting healthier, happier salon experiences.
