to your new hair home
Welcome to Alder! We're absolutely thrilled to have you here! We understand that stepping into a new salon and working with a new stylist can sometimes feel a bit daunting, but rest assured, we're here to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
​
From the moment you walk in, expect to be greeted with a warm smile and offered a selection of snacks, sweet treats, or a refreshing cup of coffee or tea. We want you to feel right at home from the start, so don't worry about finding a receptionist – just come right in, and one of our stylists will take care of you and ensure you feel welcome.
​
At our salon, we believe that communication is key to providing exceptional service. During your consultation, we'll take the time to discuss your hair goals, preferences, and budget. Feel free to share any inspirational photos you have, so we can collaborate on a plan to bring your hair dreams to life! And don't worry if you're not sure about styling or products – we're here to share our expertise and provide you with helpful tips tailored to your needs.
​
We love connecting with our guests, but we also understand that some prefer a more tranquil experience. Whether you want to engage in conversation, catch up on your reading, work on your laptop, or simply relax in silence, the choice is yours. Just let us know your preference, and we'll ensure you have a quiet and enjoyable appointment.
At Alder, inclusivity is incredibly important to us. We proudly support the LGBTQIA+ community, and we're committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone, including those in the neurodivergent community. If you have specific name or pronoun preferences, please don't hesitate to share them with us – we want to honor your identity and make you feel respected and valued.
Ready to book your appointment? You can easily schedule online through our stylist profiles, or if you're unsure about which service to choose, feel free to reach out to us via call or text. We're here to help and eager to learn more about your goals!
We're genuinely excited to have the opportunity to welcome you to our salon. Can't wait to see you soon!
