The menu
Prices start at the number shown. Long or very thick hair can run more, and your stylist tells you the full price at the consult, before anything starts.
Three chairs and a long consult.
Maya opened Studio Alder in 2018 after ten years behind other people's chairs. The idea was simple: fewer clients a day, more time at the start of each one. Every appointment opens with a real conversation about your routine, your budget and how often you want to come back. Then we cut and color for that, so the result holds up between visits.
- You hear the full price before any color goes on.
- One stylist from consult to finish, every visit.
- Late chairs on Thursday until 9pm for people who work days.

Reviews
Maya spent fifteen minutes asking how I style my hair before she touched it. My balayage grew out so softly I went four months between appointments.
Lena is the first person who has cut my curls dry and understood them. I left with a shape that works without a diffuser.
Thursday night slot after work, in and out with a sharp cut and no upsell. That is all I wanted.
Before your visit
How do I book?
Call or text the salon number. We answer between clients and confirm your stylist, time and starting price by text.
How long does color take?
A gloss is about forty-five minutes, single-process color around two hours, and balayage about three. We tell you at booking.
Where do I park?
Metered parking on Sunset and free two-hour street parking on Hyperion after the first block. The Sunset Junction lot is a short walk.
What if I need to cancel?
Let us know 24 hours ahead and there is no charge. Later than that, color appointments carry a $40 fee.
