Hello, My name is Makaila Pardee! I view hair as a colorful form of self-expression. I have a strong passion for Hair Color and Makeup. I love to explore the world of color correction from time to time! To me, beauty is key to somebody’s individuality and self-expression! I believe beauty has no gender, ethnicity, religion, weight, or sexuality! When you sit in my chair, you are in a safe and inviting environment! Whatever walk of life you may come from, you are welcome!
I grew up in a very small village in Allegan County, where the only thing keeping it on the map was a Dollar General! Growing up, I fell deeply in love with my creative side! You could always find me drawing, painting, doing makeup, or coloring my hair another crazy color! I spent a lot of my time doing makeup and fun hairstyles for friends and family! Whether it was a special event or a wedding, I was always In love with being able to help someone express themselves in a creative manner. I fell in love with helping people love themselves from not only the outside but the inside as well.
When I was in high school, I was a student helper through the Peer 2 Peer program. I got a chance to help out children with various disabilities and I even met one of my good friends through the program. I was very blessed to get a chance to work with these kids and I was able to relate to them. Every individual person is special in their own way. It's completely okay to be different because that's what makes you unique!
Outside of the salon, you can find me somewhere by the water! I love the beauty of nature and the outdoors is my happy place! In the cold months, you can find me cuddled up inside, with a cozy sweater, watching a scary movie with my three cats! I hope we can further your creative journey together!

KIND WORDS
Kristen and Makaila did my hair and my bridesmaids’ hair for my wedding and they were AMAZING.

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!
