How ALCHEMY was born
It's story time!
It all started over a coffee date with local Makeup and Hair Artists in San Diego. A monthly event we lead that is now called the "San Diego Beauty Community". After getting organized and connecting over coffee one day Kimm was sharing her big picture dream she was working on when Hollie spoke up to let her know she was in the process of building something similar.
After their first coffee date with the group Kimm and Hollie went to yet another coffee shop to discuss their plans further.
ALCHEMY BEAUTY ACADEMY was born which just goes to show you how powerful a cup of coffee is with artists.
