Hey there! Congratulations on your big day, and thank you for visiting my site! My name is Alyssa Barry, a full-time hairstylist based in Acton, Massachusetts. I'm thrilled to offer on-site services for bridal parties, formal events, and photoshoots across all of New England. My passion for cosmetology ignited at a young age when I would break markers to color Barbie's hair. I officially began my journey as a licensed cosmetologist in 2014, and from that moment on, weddings and special events have held a special place in my heart. The incredible people I've met and the creative freedom this career offers are truly amazing gifts. I constantly strive to enhance my guests' experience and hone my skills by staying updated on the latest trends and styles.
With a style that ranges from polished and classic to boho and romantic, my goal is to make you look and feel your absolute best. I’m also excited to share that I’ve recently returned to providing makeup services after taking a break, allowing me to offer a complete beauty experience for your special day!
Below, you’ll find my inquiry form. Please feel free to fill out the information, and I’ll get back to you during business hours, Thursday through Saturday. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
Create the Wedding of your Dreams with Alyssa
warm wishes,
alyssa barry

On average the time scheduled is 45 minutes to 1 hour per guest day of the wedding. Some guests take the full hour while some take less than due to hair density, length, and desired style. The hour slot is allotted so no one feels rushed and everyone gets the experience they deserve. The goal is to finish every bridal party 60 mins to 2 hours prior to the ceremony. This time allows for any touch ups or first look photos.

This is YOUR day, do not forget that. You are allowed to ask your party to have their hair up, down, styled the same, or styled differently than yours. My suggestion would be to send them your top 3 favorite styles for them to pick from and you can all go from there. Simply search on Pinterest or Instagram “bridesmaid styles for wedding” or “#bridesmaidhair”, this will help everyone in the long run.
