Tress Hair Studio

🏆 WE WON!!! 🏆

I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude to announce that Tress Hair Studio has been voted the 2026 Rhode Island Community’s Choice Award WINNER for Hair Salon!!!🖤✨

What makes this award so incredibly special is that it came from YOU … our community. Every vote, every appointment, every referral, every share, every kind word and every person who has supported our little salon helped get us here.

When I opened Tress 5 1/2 years ago, I could only hope that it would become more than just a place to get your hair done. I wanted it to feel welcoming, personal and like a little family… our Tress Fam. To stand here tonight as the WINNER is something I will never forget.

We are so incredibly thankful to every single person who sits in our chairs and trusts us with their hair. You allow us to do what we love every day, and we truly could not have done this without you.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!! 🥹

We did it, Tress Fam!!! 🏆🖤

After months of nominations, voting, and so much incredible support, tonight we are heading to the RI Community Choice Awards Gala! 🖤🥂

Just being named a Top 3 Finalist is something I’m incredibly proud of. Tress Hair Studio would not be here without our amazing clients, friends, family, and community who continue to support this little salon dream of mine.

💗 Supporting One of Our Own 💗

Many of you may know Connie, who I had the pleasure of working alongside years ago at Uptown Salon.

Connie and her family are currently going through an incredibly difficult time as her husband battles cancer.

A GoFundMe has been started to help their family with the financial burden that comes along with something like this, and I wanted to share it here with our Tress Fam and our community.

When someone you know is facing something this heavy, every little bit of support matters. If you are able to donate, even a small amount can make a difference. And if donating is not possible, simply sharing the fundraiser can help more than you know.

Connie, we are thinking of you, your husband, and your entire family and sending so much love, strength, and support your way. 🤍

I will leave the GoFundMe link in the comments below for anyone who would like to help. Please consider donating or sharing. 🙏🏼

✂️ This Week on The Tress Press….Let’s Talk Salon Pricing

We have heard it. We have read the comments. So let’s talk about it.

Salon pricing is NOT a random number pulled out of thin air. Behind every appointment are years of experience, continued education, professional products, tools, overhead, licensing, insurance and a whole lot more that clients never see.

You are not just paying for the time you spend in the chair. You are paying for the experience and skill behind it.

And here’s the thing…..not every salon is meant for every budget and that is perfectly okay.

This week on The Tress Press, we are breaking down what really goes into salon pricing and why knowing your worth behind the chair is not the same thing as overcharging.

✂️ A fresh new look for Jeanne DiPrete

We traded the extra length for a soft, beautifully shaped bob with plenty of movement and fullness. I love how this cut shows off all of those gorgeous, NATURAL, tones in her hair while giving her a completely refreshed style.

Sometimes a great haircut is all you need for a whole new vibe! ✨
