Something New
Sherri Jessee takes wedding-day hair in a fresh
direction with her Bridal Nouveau collection.
Wedding season is in full swing, and when it comes to finding inspiration for new ways to
style a bride’s hair for her big day, stylist Sherri Jessee is never short on fashion-forward
ideas. Jessee’s new Bridal Nouveau collection—an American Salon exclusive—strikes
just the right balance between innovative and classic. “I chose to do textured looks taken
straight from the runway and embellish them with elegant accessories and flowers,” says
Jessee, a successful salon owner, stylist and platform artist who also did the makeup for
the shoot. “A great working spray, small irons and crimpers were essential to boosting volume and achieving the looks.” —Lotus Abrams
