Welcome in! I'm Corena and I'm super excited to begin this journey with you. My journey with hair started before even I decided to go cosmetology school! While in High School, I was part of color guard where I would do everyone's hair and make up for performances.

 

I came across Alder Hair Co. while searching for hair and make up for my own wedding in 2022. As soon as I stepped foot into the salon I knew it was somewhere I wanted to be and shortly after getting married I joined the salon as a stylist. Since being apart of Alder, I have been able to truely find where my passion lies within my career. I have really focused on perfecting the art of lived in colors, blondes, dimensional colors, shaggy and soft textured hair cuts within the salon. I have also expanded my knowledge and huge passion for bridal hair and make-up. I feel as though my work reflects my personality. I'm a soft-spoken person with a huge heart and the softness of my personality shows a lot in my color work while my heart shows in the connections I try to make with my guests. I know life can get a little hectic sometimes but I want to welcome you into my chair and give you some time to relax and unwind. When you sit with me I will give you my undivided attention in order to make sure to learn your hair as well as to learn you. I pride myself on being very personable. I feel like most of us know what it's like to sit in someone's chair to have the same conversations you had the last time you were in the salon. I try to shy away from that, I want to be able to laugh with you, talk about things that really make you happy, and to have a real connection with you.

 

Outside of the salon I stay pretty busy with a 4 year old, husband and six animals. During the summer months we try to spend as much time outside exploring with our camper and side by side , while in the cooler months we just enjoy our home and each other more. Music is one of my all time favorite things in life so making it to more concerts is on my priority list as well. I hope we are able to start your hair journey together!

KIND WORDS

Corena was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the initial communication to the hair trial to the day of, she was very responsive and truly understood what I wanted for my wedding day! I was on the fence about getting my hair done or doing it myself to cut on costs, and I didn’t regret hiring her one bit and was so grateful that I did! I would not have been able to do anything like she did for me! She went above and beyond by touching up one of my bridesmaid’s hair who she was not hired to do. I cannot recommend her enough!!

We had the best Hair and Makeup artists KayLeigh and Corena from Alder Hair Studio for our wedding! This is the dream team for making you feel beautiful on your big day. These girls were so incredibly talented, and make you feel like the best version of yourself. Not only did they get everyone's hair and makeup done in a very tight timeline but they made sure to take the time to explain what they were doing and ask what bridal party members wanted for there looks. On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!
