Alkemy by Valentina Salaris

Around a 10-minute walk from Dalston Kingsland train station in Hackney Downs, Alchemy Hair by Valentina Salaris is a super intimate salon specialising in bespoke unisex cuts and vibrant colour techniques.

Part of the creative complex of Lighthouse Studios, the Alkemy salon offer a more private space than traditional larger salons with a choice of specially selected tunes and an unrivalled one-to-one service.

Styling services range from highly tailored restyles to quick trims and blow dries designed to restore shape and volume. On the colour menu you'll find vibrant block tints, platinum blondes with toner as standard and multi-tonal highlights in sun-kissed or autumnal toes. Specialists in long, curly and difficult hair, the team at Alkemy can also manage any type of hair.

Situated along a main bus route and within walking distance of Kingsland Shopping Centre, late night opening is available until 9 pm every Tuesday.
