what others are saying...
I didn’t know how to do anything with braids prior to this workshop. The fact that I learned how to do basic braids, all the way to two and three strand twists back to learning sew- in weaves, it was just good to learn so much in one day. But the teamwork and confidence built was amazing as well! I’m now confident enough to braid hair after taking this class. Now that I’ve learned from best “Ms. Amanda” I feel like I AM THE BEST!

I really enjoyed Ms. Amanda’s Learn How To Braid Workshop. I was excited to learn how to do feed-in braids. I have been a hair braider for a while but I was struggling with feed-ins until I took Ms. Amanda’s class. Now I’m ready to go make plenty of money!

I came to Ms. Amanda’s LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop not knowing how to do anything but plat hair. Now I know how to cornrow, I know how to do feed-ins and sew-ins. And I now have confidence in my hair braiding.
Thank you Ms. Amanda!

I’ve been a hair braider for some time now. But I learned a new braid technique on how to start my hair braids when adding extensions! I love Ms. Amanda’s technique.
Thank You Ms. Amanda!

I’m only 16 yrs old, but I’ve been braiding hair for a while. I came to the LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop so I can learn how to perfect my braiding skills. Today I learned how to do that and I also learned Ms. Amanda’ technique on starting my braids with extensions as well as her knotless
technique for individuals. It came out very well for my first time and I Thank Ms. Amanda for helping me to improve my skills as a hair braider!

My name is Neishta and I’m from Los Angeles California. My mother was a hairstylist so I was raised in the beauty industry. I enjoyed Ms. Amanda’s LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop. I loved how everything tied in, we started with
the basic corn rolling and ended up working all the way to create the foundation for our sew-in weave. I learned crochet braids, and how to achieve different looks using different textures of hair. It was a great class. I enjoyed every moment of it!

I learned how to do senegalese twists, feed-in braids and I improved my overall braiding skills. Awesome Class! Ms. Amanda did a great job!

The best money spent on my business so far! I travelled almost 300 miles from Sumter, SC to Atlanta, GA for this workshop. I learned 2 strand twist, sew-ins, cornrows, interlocking, knotless braids and feed-ins. I’m a certified sister locks consultant and I will now be able to add another service to my business.

Braiding is Amazing when you take Ms. Amanda’s class! We did everything from sew-ins to weaving, braiding, networking, collaborating, positivity, feed-in braids and senegalese twists.
Ms. Amanda is Amazing!

I absolutely enjoyed my experience with Ms. Amanda. I can say her energy/personality is amazing! Her teaching ability/skills are impeccable, and I actually learned a whole lot, especially with braid techniques I absolutely had no confidence in. (And if you know me, I’m very confident 101)
I thank you Ms. Amanda!
