Soft luxury. All textures welcome.

Master braids that command higher prices — and keep clients coming back, powered by AI.
So this isn't a beginner's day.
Most talented stylists get good and stay there because nobody's ever stood behind them and said your parts are drifting on the left, or you're pulling too tight at the crown and that's why her edges go at week three. Most of us learned off YouTube at 1am with a mannequin between our knees.
The stylists who are properly booked out aren't doing anything magic — they're clean and quick, and their work still looks good at week four, which is when the client decides whether to rebook.
On this day, we'll be going into braiding like the best — and the business behind it.
Masterclass 01


Taught by Giselle
Not how to do them — how to do them flawlessly. Precise parts, consistent stitch definition, and tension that holds without pulling.
Full demo first, then you take a live model start to finish with Giselle over your shoulder.
Masterclass 02Taught by Oyin Adebayo
Grid architecture, foundation strength, and symmetry that holds across the head. Jumbo sizing, done to a standard you can charge for.
Full head, live model, beginning to end — corrected in real time as you work.
Hair and a model are booked for each technique. Nobody leaves with an unfinished head.
Braiding brilliantly and being paid properly are two different skills. Only one usually gets taught.
What to ask, how to quote, and how to close — so she rebooks before she leaves the chair.
The hooks and posting rhythm that put strangers in your diary — not just likes.
Build a price list around your skill, not the salon down the road.
Menu, availability, deposits, rebooking — set up live, on your phone.
