Wedding Tresses  was founded by  professional hair-stylist Jacki Norrie as a way to fill a need within the community.  For seventeen years Jacki has worked with brides and noticed a stark difference between brides who travel to a salon and those who have the salon travel to them: Stress. Brides who have their beauty experts come to them are significantly more relaxed and restful than those who battle traffic, crowded salons, and short time factors. It was also noticed that the experts themselves were more relaxed and had more patience if things got harried.

There are few salons in this region who offer brides a choice.  Wedding Tresses was created for  this reason. By letting us come to you, we  help you create an atmosphere of happiness and relaxation on your wedding day, after all, this  should be the most joyous day of your life.  Wedding Tresses is the only company offering both bridal hair and makeup devoted to On Location wedding services.  We are not a salon that offers bridal beauty services as an extra; this is what we do.  Because of that, brides receive the best in the business with the most attention to detail.  Our artists skills are honed to perfection weekly with continuous exposure to the many faces and hair textures of our diverse community. We have learned tricks and techniques to ensure On Location is indeed the stress-free alternative.

The Wedding Tresses Team of Artists is made up of professional Hair Designers and Makeup Artists.  Each of the  Makeup Artists has dedicated their careers to perfecting their skill in wedding makeup application and honing their ’eye’ by training with some of the top makeup artists in the industry and  working for makeup giants Clinique, Channel, Estee Lauder and MAC on the famed Newbury Street in Boston.  Each of the Hair Designers  has dedicated a significant portion of their training throughout their careers to formal occasion hair design and have emerged as  top wedding hair designers in Boston and Newport.  They are routinely booked a year in advance with the most well known wedding planners securing their services for their brides early in the planning process. 

We love working with brides and being a small part of their special day, and it shows. We have been honored by winning the 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012 Bride's Choice Award, and chosen as the Bride's Magazine Editor's Pick for 2011,  we have been nominated for Best of Boston in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and our reputation has allowed founder, Jacki Norrie, to been chosen by Martha Stewart Weddings and Wedding Wire as a national expert in bridal beauty and health.  Our work is featured on the cover and in the pages of Seacoast Weddings 2012 and in Southern New England Wedding Guide 2009, 2010 & 2011 and has been featured in Real Simple Wedding Magazine 2010, The Knot, Cape Cod Bride Magazine and Newport Weddings. In addition, Jacki is routinely called upon to offer her thoughts by the media, most notably the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Wedding Aces.com, and the MA and RI Wedding Guides. We were invitational hair and makeup providers for the movie, Bride Wars, and are often called upon by the Fox Morning Show and The Knot.

Wedding Tresses is an on location company - In other words, we come to you.  We have Studios in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island that are used for the purposes of Trial Runs.  When it is time to practice the  bridal hair style and bridal makeup brides have the choice of which Studio she would like to come to.  Wedding Tresses Massachusetts Studio, our base of operations, is located south of Boston, north of Cape Cod near Plymouth on Main Street in Plympton. 2010 welcomes the opening of our Wedding Tresses Boston Studio located on famed Newbury Street.   Our Rhode Island Studio is located on Bellevue Avenue in historic Newport.  Brides also have the option of choosing  to have us come to them for the practice Trial Run at her location (home, hotel, venue or office).  In short, Wedding Tresses is wherever the bride needs us to be.

                                       ...Relax.  Leave the traveling to us.

I worked with Jacki Norrie at Wedding Tresses for my wedding day on Memorial Day weekend 2011, and I think every bride in the greater Boston area NEEDS to consider working with her. Jacki was incredibly delightful to work with, professional, and gave me EXACTLY the hairstyle I wanted for my wedding. I have very thin, very fine hair and I was so worried about my hair falling flat after the first half hour of my ceremony and I was petrified that in all of my photos that my hair was going to look dull and thin. After my first consultation with Jacki, I knew I was in an expert's hands! She made my hair look absolutely southern belle gorgeous the day of my wedding. All of my friends and family could not stop talking about how great it looked. Best of all, Jacki's team COMES TO YOU the day of your wedding---and trust me, there is nothing better than not having to worry about getting to places on the morning of your wedding!!

I also had a few bridesmaids who had very short hair and Jacki was able to give them all faux updo's, and they all could not believe how gorgeous their hair came out too. She also did perfect little curls on my flower girls and was excellent at working with little ones and being gentle with their hair. All in all, Jacki did about 8 heads of hair that day, ALL HERSELF, and each girl loved their hairdo, we were done with plenty of time before we had to leave, and most importantly, I was completely in LOVE with my hairstyle!

We also used Jacki's make-up artist Christopher for our makeup, and he was truly an artist and made us all look like the best version of ourselves. Our makeup was perfect, not overdone, but just right for our beachy summer wedding. My mom tends to not wear makeup at all and she really loved the job he did for her. All of us looked like we "popped" and we were all really happy with the makeup. Except for a few reapplications of lipstick, our makeup lasted well into the summer evening.

Jacki has a great personality, is incredibly diligent and professional and KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING. She's excellent at communicating and at calming nerves the day of the wedding. I would ask Jacki to do my hair again in a heartbeat. It's obvious why she's built such a successful business. Future brides, take the pressure off yourself the day of your wedding--have Wedding Tresses come to you and make you even more gorgeous than you already are!
 


Jacki and the Wedding Tresses team are one of the best in the business! Not only are they amazingly talented at what they do but they are extremely professional, creative, fun & easy to work with! Click Imagery recommends them to anyone wanting to look their absolute best on their wedding day!
