  • Natural Hair Care and Braiding Workshop I

    Anonymous review on 7/9/2018
    Overall, I greatly appreciated this course. To learn about the history of our and to be able to be hands on with our mannequins. What I do wish for was more one on one time with the instructor, so I could have fully master the braiding technique. I also believe that environment plays a part in learning. The classroom was way too cold and the chairs were really small, so it took away from the concentrating fully on hair. I would still recommend because it was a valuable lesson taught and this is a great investment towards the person braiding! The $25 hair kit, you can definetly get at the dollar store for around $10 bucks or less!

    The teacher is not that great in conveying her art to the students. She knows her stuff but can’t teach it well. I came away disappointed. I was going to enroll in course 2 when I first started the class but now have changed my mind. In addition, she always came to class late (at least 30 minutes). I felt like I was being ripped off because she still ended class at its regular time. I wish there was more classes out there that could teach you how to braid correctly. Thumbs down on the class. The only positive aspects of the class were the students. We were able to bond together and teach each other whenever we were confused.

Studentsin the Natural Hair Care and Braiding Workshop I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the history of natural hair and have hands-on practice with mannequins. They recommended the course as a valuable lesson and a worthwhile investment for those interested in braiding. One student mentioned that the class allowed for bonding among the students and the opportunity to teach each other when confusion arose. They felt that they had mastered the skill of braiding and can now confidently braid their daughter's hair. They also found the class informative and express a desire for more classes like this. Three direct quotes from the reviews that highlight what the students learned and their insights are as follows: 1. "I mastered the skill of braiding and I can now braid my daughter's hair. The class was very helpful but not long enough. More time is needed to master the skill and additional skills as well!" 2. "The class was very informative. Wish there were more classes like this." 3.

I enjoyed the proposal of this course too much, but as I said, I'm on vacation here and, unfortunately, I do not have all this time available. It would be good if I could do these classes on an intensive schedule, for two whole days, for example. By chance, would Teacher Carla Brown be available to teach these classes to me or to a group with the same interest until September 30? I appreciate the attention Sandra Souza
