About

Beverly works as a freelance hairstylist at two locations: Wild Orange Salon at 1825 Encinal Ave in Alameda, California, and East Side Hair Crew at 2669 NE Twin Knolls Rd in Bend, Oregon. Alameda visits are held roughly in the second week of each month, and Bend is open Monday through Thursday and on Saturdays. Both locations run from about 10am to 9pm, by appointment.

Beverly was originally licensed in 2004 and has more than 20 years of experience. Her focus includes wild vivid colors, long hair projects, curly hair and hair health. Each season she braids hair on the Renaissance Faire circuit along the West Coast, and she also handles fantasy braiding and updos.

Haircolor appointments include Olaplex bond rebuilding in every formulation, followed by deep conditioning and written aftercare instructions. Vivid work usually needs lightening first, so most vivid appointments are a double process. The average vivid appointment runs about 5 hours before any haircut, and the salon suggests budgeting $400 to $600. Consultations can be booked through the appointment menu, and weddings are booked after a consultation.

Cancellations or reschedules in California need 48 hours notice. A missed appointment without notice is charged 100% of the booked services, though the fee is waived if the time is filled beforehand or if the client cancels before the start time because of a contagious illness. Tips are appreciated but not expected.

Explains why hair behaves the way it does and builds a simple home routine with each client.
