Still one of my (Kristen's) very favorite hairstyles I've created for a wedding, all the way back in 2023! The vibes were so good with this couple. We have a few spots open in November & December this year, but 2026 is just about booked with us for weddings. We are booking for 2027, though!

Look at these c**n tail bangs by .hairdesigns and also the PINK. Wowza. Destiny's been with us since November, and her work is just getting better & better.

Happy first Alder anniversary to Megan! We love her as much as she loves sweet treats; her guests love her more than she loves sweet treats, and Megan probably loves sweet treats more than she loves her guests and us, but that is understandable.

HEY HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Alder was founded on inclusivity and will always be a safe space for folks who may not feel comfortable in traditional beauty spaces. The world around us right now is telling us it’s bad to be different but we’ll never ever tell you that in our chairs. Now look at these beautiful rainbows by 🌈🏳️‍🌈

🌞 We heard you like good hair. That’s good news! Mainly because we are a house of good hair and we’d like to invite you to come book in with us this summer. This GOOD hair is by 🌞

Fresh hair, fresh photo! We must feed the algorithm! But in all seriousness if we’ve ever taken your photo after doing your hair and you have never seen it posted, it’s 100% because we didn’t like the photo (an us problem). We probably think it just didn’t do your beautiful hair justice. I personally have about 300 photos of hair on my phone I really like. 😅

📍Blonding by at Alder Hair Co in Kalamazoo, MI

Hi June! The light is longer, the days are softer, and we are just balancing on the edge of summer. Wedding season is in full swing for us, and we are flying through tubs of lightener to make sure everyone's summer blonde is glowing. We still have time and space for you, though! If you're ready to get brightened up for summer, send us a text, and we'll make it happen.

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈

🥤Drink of the Month - GOTH GIRL SUMMER - a very refreshing blend of black cherry fresca & coconut.

♊️♋️ Happiest of solar returns to our Gemini & Cancer baddies. No salon birthdays this month! I'm really hoping our next hire is a Gemini. 👀

Hey, let’s talk about Medusa! She has always been floating around our salon as part of our logo suite, but let’s talk about why.

Traditionally, Medusa has been portrayed as a monster in a story centered around the male gaze, fear, punishment, and silence. But to us, she represents reclaiming beauty and setting our own standards outside of traditional expectations.

For us, Medusa is a symbol of unapologetic self-expression, transformation, and personal power. We are not here to shape your beauty to fit society’s expectations. We are here to help you discover your own identity, express yourself freely, and build confidence that feels authentic to you. What that beauty journey looks like is unique for each guest, but we're here to help, or at least provide a safe space for you to figure it out.
