Our Story
Thank you for your inquiry. My name is Emily Henning Woods and I am the owner of Northern Waves, on site wedding services. Additionally, I am co-owner of MI Salon in Traverse City, MI. This is where I provide cuts, colors, waxing, hair extensions…and pretty much anything else that pertains to hair. I launched Northern Waves about 6 years ago because of my many years of experience working in a high end salon in beautiful downtown Traverse City where on a normal Saturday anything less then 5 wedding parties- that day was considered a “slow day”. I decided to branch off on my own so I can spread my love of hair, my fondness for learning and my desire to bring one’s inner beauty out.
So, what do I have to offer? I have 15 years experience in this industry and 5 consecutive awards for top overall performance. I absolutely can say that I love my job and could never see myself retiring. I keep up to date with wedding trends while keeping knowledgeable on vintage flare. I have been trained by some of the leading names from coast to coast in all areas of hair. I am now able to offer my passion in a convenient location, especially for your wedding day!
