Braiding with Miss Suzy:
Learn to braid (and create up-do’s) with confidence! Braiding, one of the oldest known hairstyles in history in almost every continent, has always been about art. We pair this art with laughter, practice, a cup of tea and delightful treats. Learning something new should be celebrated!
Guests create a lasting memory with their models and leave feeling more comfortable and confident with styling hair for every-day occasions.
Seats are limited so each student will have one-on-one time to work through the troubling areas of basic or advanced braids and other lovely hairstyles with our instructors.
Please bring your own brush (we have plenty of elastics). You may also bring something for your model to do while seated.
