I was referred here by a friend and I couldn’t be happier to have found my new go-to stylist :) Kristen gave me my favorite haircut I’ve ever had in my life. I have incredibly fine hair and it’s always difficult to make it look full and sexy and fun because it’s so easy to weigh it down, but I finally have a look where it’s been impossible for me to have a bad hair day. It’s so easy to style and still looks great when I don’t do anything to it at all. I gave her the vibe I was after and what vibe I DIDNT want anymore, and she understood the assignment! Gave me EXACTLY the shape I had in my mind but couldn’t articulate. She also walked up my dark box color to a gorgeous dusty and chocolaty red (that we’re going to lighten up over time) without damaging my already at-home color treated hair. Everything uniquely blends really well and there’s a ton of room for the colors and shape to transform over time while still keeping a style that’s very “me.” I’m excited to see how both myself, and my hair changes together over time and I trust Kristen fully while I try new things (as I do frequently haha). Go with the flow! This studio definitely won’t let you leave looking bad! The atmosphere in the studio itself is also very comforting and inclusive feeling. <3

Best of the best in Kalamazoo! This salon doesn’t “provide services,” rather, they provide a unique, exquisite experience. So grateful for their outstanding work and unmatched customer service. Thank you!

Corena gave me the most beautiful blonde hair ever! I had such a great time with her and felt like she did exactly what I asked for, I couldn’t recommend her more to future clients! I have received so many compliments on my new hair all thanks to her! Alder Hair Studio is such a lovely place to be and I can’t wait for my next appointment!!! (:

No , not going back. I will pay $$$$ for a professional next time .... I'll have to wait for it to grow out . I asked for layers and she started point cutting and I kept waiting for her to start measuring for layer length as she point cut and at some point I became horrified with the realization that she had no idea what I meant by layering even though I had shown her my own previous hair and it was way to late to stop the damage that had been point cut away... the owner graciously shored up the cut a few days later on the house which is why they get 3 stars

I can’t speak highly enough about Kristen. I walked in the salon looking like a hot mess and left looking and feeling like a movie star! Had a transformation cut and color. It is by far, THE prettiest color I’ve ever gotten. Kristen took the time to explain my options during my consultation appointment and explained exactly how to style my new cut, in a way I could easily understand (I’m not very good at hair stuff). I was also quoted a certain amount and even though it took a little longer than expected, she didn’t charge me more. While there, I heard other stylists giving amazing tips to other customers so you cannot go wrong with who you pick at this salon. Absolutely wonderful experience!!

KayLeigh was amazing to work with from start to finish. At our bridal trials she not only made us feel very comfortable, but I got a haircut as well (and it was quite possibly one of the best haircuts I've ever had). She did an amazing job with the hair for both brides and our entire bridal party. The whole bridal party was raving about how not only were the hairstyles secure, but also comfortable! She is a hair wizard, and we loved working with her.Services: Updos

Extremely happy with the service and knowledge that was shared with me during my appointment. Love my curly hair and will be recommending KayLeigh to everyone I know. She took the time to make sure I knew exactly what she was doing and had me run my fingers through the hair so I know what everything should feel like while doing the process at home.Service: Curly hair

Amazing experience! Corena gave me a haircut and added in an accent color. She texted me before to get an idea of what I wanted. Walking into the studio, she was nothing but kind and professional. She gave me her own opinion on my hair while completely keeping the decision up to me, but I will say SHE ABSOLUTELY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! I am so happy with the way it turned out and I will 100% be going back to see her again.

Kristen & Ann were THE best ladies to work with for bridal hair and makeup. The communication and response time was quick, always pleasant, and very helpful.My trial for both hair and makeup went beautifully, they both really aimed to understand what I wanted and weren’t offended if I didn’t like something, they just wanted to adjust to make sure I loved it.They then recreated and perfected on the big day and everyone looked so beautiful! My bridesmaids aren’t big on makeup along with both moms, so they were a little hesitant to get their makeup done. At the end they were so thrilled with the results and appreciated that they still felt like themselves versus caked in makeup.Kristen was also very helpful in recommending clip in extensions as I was wearing my hair down and wanted a little more length. No one knew I had extensions in, they blended seamlessly with my hair. I was obsessed.10/10 would recommend these ladies to anyone that wants to feel like an elevated version of themselves. They made it so easy and stress free.Photo credit: Aly DenBesten Photography
