💫 About the Event
For the dads, moms, grandparents, caregivers, and anyone who's ever looked at a French braid and thought, "How do people do that?" 🍻
Back by popular demand (with a little twist on our Pints & Ponytails gathering), we're bringing you Braids & Beers—a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to care for, style, and braid hair while enjoying a cold beer and some good company.
Whether you're a parent hoping to make school mornings a little easier, a dad wanting to learn how to braid his daughter's hair, a caregiver looking to build confidence with different hairstyles, or simply someone who's always wanted to learn, this one's for you.
Led by Simply Charmed, this beginner-friendly workshop will introduce you to practical hair care and braiding techniques you can actually use at home.
No experience needed. No judgment if your first braid looks a little wonky. And absolutely no requirement to be a parent.
Just good company, a little patience, and the chance to learn something new.
Because learning to do someone's hair can be about so much more than the hairstyle itself. It's also about the little moments of care, connection, and confidence that come with it. 💛
