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.
