Beer & Braids: Basic Hair Care and Styling for Caregivers | Walnut Creek

You should not need professional styling experience to create a neat ponytail, complete a simple braid or confidently care for your child’s hair.

Beer & Braids is a relaxed, beginner-friendly class for parents, grandparents, guardians, foster parents and other caregivers who want practical hair care and styling skills they can use at home.

No previous experience is required. We start with the basics and guide you step by step.

During this 90-minute hands-on workshop, you will practice on a mannequin while learning:

• How to brush and detangle gently

• How to section and prepare the hair

• How to create a smooth, secure ponytail

• How to complete a simple beginner-friendly braid style

• How much product to use and when to use it

• Which basic tools and products are actually helpful

• How to protect the hair and make everyday styling easier

Your ticket includes:

• Hands-on professional instruction

• Mannequin practice during class

• A take-home hair care and styling toolkit

• A printed beginner guide

• Time for individual questions and support

• Access to a free live group follow-up clinic

This is a supportive, judgment-free learning experience. Our goal is for you to leave knowing exactly what to do when you style your child’s hair at home.

Only 16 caregiver seats are available. Once this class fills, Walnut Creek registration will close.

This is an adults-only workshop. Food and drinks may be purchased separately from the venue and are not included in the ticket price. The exact Walnut Creek venue and arrival instructions will be sent to registered guests.
