VIVID
HAIR COLOR
Vivid color is bold, expressive, and unforgettable, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood services in the salon world. Common issues with vivids include muddy tones, uneven lift, premature fading, staining, and damage from improper lightening. Without a thoughtful plan and the right at-home care, those vibrant reds, pinks, blues, and coppers can quickly lose their magic.
​
​
At Alder, we approach vivid color as both art and science. Every transformation starts with an in-depth consultation, a customized lightening strategy to protect the integrity of your hair, and intentional color placement designed to fade beautifully. If your hair isn’t strong enough to safely achieve your goal, we won’t move forward—we’ll create a plan to get you there the right way.
​
We prioritize hair health, realistic maintenance plans, and professional product guidance utilizing K18 and Davines Beautiful Things, so your color stays luminous long after you leave our chair.
​
Consultations are required for all vivid color services. During this appointment, we’ll assess your hair’s current condition, discuss your inspiration and lifestyle, and outline a clear roadmap to achieve your goal. We believe in complete transparency—so you’ll receive upfront pricing for your initial service as well as realistic maintenance pricing and scheduling recommendations. No surprises, no guesswork—just a clear plan.
Bold doesn’t have to mean brittle, and vibrant should never mean compromised.
KIND WORDS
I just had my first experience at Alder and am still practically squealing. I did a vivid hair color by Makaila and it turned out SO GOOD! I'm blown away by how amazing it turned out! The roads were rough the day of my appointment and Makaila reached out to me personally and let me know she'd be a couple minutes late due to the roads, and told me to drive safe, which I thought was really kind. When I walked into the salon, I was greeted with warmth and kindness. Makaila worked on my hair for 6 hours, asking me multiple times if I needed anything to eat or drink. She also let me know what she was doing every step of the way. I can't express how much I appreciate the ladies that work at this salon. If you're looking for a sign to give them a try, this is it!

Though I primarily see Ann for *vibrant color* I have brought my kiddos in with other folks and have always had a relaxed experience in this truly beautiful and well appointed experience. Sharing my latest inspiration and after snap - Ann does an amazing job of taking my crazy ideas and translating them professionally and pragmatically into beautiful, headwearable, art!
