Alder Hair Co

We're approaching a year in our new space on Westnedge in Kalamazoo. Time really does fly!

Happy Birthday, Makaila! Our very own bb goth who now has her very own little bb! Makaila is a creative powerhouse with color and has been since the day she arrived! Vivids and alt styles are her fav, but she's also amazing with curly hair! She's an integral part of our community, so let's all wish her the happiest birthday!

We love a black and white bridal shot at Alder. This vineyard was just outside Traverse City and so gorgeous! Thanks Kara for brining us up north last summer! 📸

The perfect spring blonde by Corena. If you're looking for a blonding specialist in Kalamazoo Corena is your girl!

Happy Birthday to KayLeigh our queen of curly, our sultan of spirals, our mistress of mousse! Our space wouldn't be the same without her and her laugh, so let's all wish her the happiest of days!

Hello, May. We’ve been waiting for you!

It’s the perfect time to refresh your hair. Softer blondes, richer brunettes, lived in color, or something bold and vivid. Whatever your version of “it's finally spring” looks like, we’re here for it.

🥤Drink of the Month is our dirty soda Purple Spritz - a dreamy mix of Sprite & lavender syrup.

♉♊ Happy Birthday to our Ta**us & Gemini babes. We have two of our own! Both KayLeigh & Makaila have birthdays this month!

Meet Kay!

Kay joined us last July and has been such a joy to have on our team ever since. Her growth has been incredible to watch. In less than a year she has already moved beyond our new talent stylist level and stepped confidently into her role as a stylist.

Kay is known for her love of all things red and her talent for creating bold, vivid hair color. From rich brunettes to bright, creative color combinations, she’s all about bringing your dream hair to life with hair color that stands out.

If you’re looking for a stylist who specializes in vivid hair color, creative color transformations, and personalized hair services, Kay is your girl.

Head to our website to explore her full stylist profile, view her work, and book your appointment online.

Shaggy textured hair & baby bangs by Her books fill up fast, but the right alt cut is worth the wait. If you’re thinking s**g, mullet, or something a little unexpected, now’s the time to claim your spot.

Really cool split dye by .hairdesigns! What two colors would you choose for this combo? I'm hoping someone goes for acid green and neon pink, but thus far I have remained unfufilled.
