MOST-ASKED

THE LOGISTICS

BOOKING & APPOINTMENTS


Two ways. Book online through our Squire booking link β€” pick your barber, your service, and a time slot, and you'll get a text confirmation within a minute. Or call us at (305) 204-6476 and we'll book you over the phone. Both go to the same calendar β€” no double-booking risk.
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome any day we're open, and we always try to seat you on the spot. That said, our barbers fill up β€” especially Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings β€” so if your time is tight, book ahead. Walk-ins are seated in arrival order with whichever barber opens up first.
For weekdays, same-day or next-day booking is usually fine. For Saturdays, book 5–7 days out. For wedding prep, special events, or a specific barber on a specific day, give us at least two weeks.
Cancel or reschedule for free up to 2 hours before your appointment, right from the Squire confirmation text or by calling us. Cancellations inside the 2-hour window or no-shows may be charged 50% of the service price to discourage chair waste β€” but if life happens (sick kid, flat tire, work emergency) just call us, we're reasonable.
Call us. We hold your chair for 10 minutes past the start of your appointment. After that, if the next client is already there, we may need to push you to the next open slot or reschedule. The earlier you call, the better β€” we can almost always work something out.
Absolutely. Pick your barber when you book on Squire, or tell us when you call. If you're new and want a recommendation, meet the team here β€” every barber has a specialty (Luis: fades and classic; Franco: modern styles and beards; Jesus: traditional barbering).
Same way you booked. From the Squire confirmation text, tap the reschedule link and pick a new time. Or call us and we'll move you in 30 seconds.

The Works ($100, ~75 minutes) is the full Alchemy experience: a haircut, a beard service (if applicable), eyebrow trim, skin exfoliation, a black charcoal mask, hot towel finish, and a complimentary drink. Our signature package β€” the cut you book the morning of a wedding, an interview, or just when you want to feel a level better.
Yes. The Alchemy House Call is $200 for ~2 hours and covers travel within Coral Gables and Greater Miami. Full barbershop experience β€” haircut, beard, hot towel finish, premium products β€” at your home, office, or hotel. Book it through Squire or call us to arrange.

BEFORE YOU PAY

PAYMENT & DISCOUNTS


Cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless. We don't take checks. Payment happens at the chair through Squire's terminal at the end of your service.
Yes β€” tips are appreciated but never expected. You can tip at the terminal when you pay (preset 15 / 20 / 25% options, or a custom amount), or in cash directly to your barber. 100% of tips go to the barber, not to the shop.
Yes β€” $5 off any standard service for first-time clients, military and veterans, law enforcement, first responders, students, and teachers. Valid ID required at the chair. One discount per visit; discounts can't be combined with package pricing. Full discount details here.
Yes β€” physical and digital gift cards in any amount. Ask at the chair, or call us at (305) 204-6476 to order. Great for Father's Day, graduations, groomsmen gifts, and birthdays.
One discount per visit. Discounts apply to any standard service but not to package pricing (Men's Haircut and Beard, The Works, Alchemy House Call). Mention your discount at the chair before service.

WHAT TO EXPECT

YOUR FIRST VISIT


You'll sit down, your barber will ask what you're trying to accomplish β€” current cut, what you like, what you don't, hair texture, lifestyle β€” and translate that into a plan before the clippers come out. The cut itself runs 30–60 minutes depending on the service. We'll show you the final result in the mirror before you leave the chair.
Doesn't matter to us. We rinse, towel, or wash depending on the service. If you're coming straight from the gym we won't blink β€” and our chairs are comfortable enough that a clean cut after a hot day is a small ritual.
Always a good idea, especially for a first visit or a style change. Even a screenshot of someone with a similar hair texture wearing the cut you want helps us calibrate exactly what you're going for. We'd rather over-communicate up front than miss the mark.
Premium professional grade only β€” pomades, clays, sea salts, beard oils, and finishing products we'd use on ourselves. Ask your barber what they're working with and they'll tell you the brand and where to find it.
Yes. Most cuts include a quick rinse and towel; the Haircut Plus, packages, and the Hot Towel Shave include the full hot-towel ritual. If you specifically want a wash-and-style, let us know when you book.
That's the consultation. Tell your barber your lifestyle (how much time you spend on hair each morning, what work expects, what you want at the gym), your hair history (what's worked, what hasn't), and what you like or dislike about your current cut. We'll narrow it from there. If you're indecisive, ask for a recommendation β€” we cut all day and have opinions.

Monday–Friday: 9 am – 8 pm. Saturday: 9 am – 7 pm. Sunday: 10 am – 4 pm. Last bookings 30 minutes before close so your barber isn't rushed.
Most holidays we're open with reduced hours. Closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Hours for Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve are posted on Squire and on our Instagram at @alchemy_hair_lab the week before.

WHO'S CUTTING

THE TEAM


Three barbers: Luis "Mo" Mosquera (Master Barber β€” fades and classic cuts), Franco Leon (modern styles and beard design), and Jesus Moreno (traditional barbering, hot towel shaves). Meet them here.
Every barber at Alchemy is Florida-licensed and continuously trained. Licensure certificates are displayed at the front desk β€” happy to walk you through if you'd like to see them.
Yes β€” pick your barber when you book online or tell us on the phone. Each barber has their own calendar inside Squire, and your booking is held with that specific person.
We'll let you know as soon as we know β€” usually via Squire text. You can either rebook with the same barber for another day or take the slot with another barber on the team. We never substitute without your say-so.
Sometimes. We're a small shop and we hire deliberately. If you're a licensed Florida barber interested in joining, email a portfolio and a short note to alchemyhairlab@gmail.com with the subject BARBER APPLICATION. Walk-in inquiries welcome any weekday afternoon.

KEEP IT SHARP

PRODUCTS & AFTERCARE


Yes β€” pomades, clays, sea salt sprays, beard oils, and our finishing products are all available at the chair after your cut. Cash, card, or added to your service charge.
Depends on the cut and your hair growth. Skin fades and tapers: every 2–3 weeks for the sharp look. Classic cuts and longer styles: every 4–6 weeks. Beards: every 2 weeks for shape, every week if you're particular about the line-up. Most regular clients book a recurring slot.
Wash with a gentle shampoo 2–3 times per week, condition longer styles, and use the product your barber recommended on dry-styled hair. For fades, the Neck Clean Up ($20, ~15 min) between full cuts keeps the lines crisp without re-cutting.
Tell us before you leave the chair. We'd much rather fix it on the spot than have you walk out unhappy. If you notice something off after you get home, call us within 7 days and we'll have you back in for a complimentary touch-up. Our satisfaction guarantee isn't fine print β€” it's how we run the shop.
