Brews & Braids: A Dad's Guide to Mastering Daughter Hair

This laid-back, guys-only workshop gives dads hands-on practice with essential hair care and simple styles using professional mannequins. No daughter is required and no prior experience is needed. The session covers proper shampooing and conditioning, how to brush and detangle without tears, the technique for a smooth ponytail, a classic three-strand braid, and two additional braid styles. Expect practical tips that make school mornings, sports, dance events, and special occasions easier. Beer tasting and refreshments, snacks, step-by-step instruction, and all practice materials are provided. The cost is $40 per person, and participants leave with real-world skills and confidence.
