Alcheme Salon has been open since 2004 in a modern loft on the fourth floor of a building in Union Square, the city's shopping district. Independent stylists, called Alchemists, share the space and each has their own booking link, so the salon is as much a shared studio as a single business.
Every booking starts with a consultation. The color menu covers single process color, partial and full highlights, balayage, toners, bleach and tone, and corrective color, with tint options added to many of them. The salon states that it has a colorist on staff who is among 250 certified Wella Master Colorists worldwide.
Bloom at Alcheme Salon operates as a blowout bar that also serves as an additional site for the Bloom Blow Dry Bar locations in San Francisco and Bloom on Piedmont in Oakland. Its service list covers blowouts for hair from short to long, retro and Hollywood-style waves with a theme, a braided look centered on a single detailed braid, and blowouts for children and for men. Bridal packages are split across two appointments, and the menu also includes updos, styling for events, and fitting clip-in extensions. Appointments are made through Bloom's own online booking system.
Regular clients can join monthly VIP plans: blowout memberships in two or four visits a month, or root memberships that include two root touch-ups with a gloss and blowout. Members receive discounts on other salon services and products, and a birthday blowout. The salon is also affiliated with Salon 815 in San Francisco, and members receive a discount on hair and nail services there.
Each visit begins with a consultation with the salon, and services are listed with their own pricing and timing so clients can plan what to book.
A modern downtown loft on the fourth floor in Union Square, which the salon describes as elegant.
