What You Will Learn
The session covers how to tease your hair to get the retro volume of your dreams and how to shape it into a finished style. Once you understand the technique, it gives you the ability to achieve many different types of hairstyles, from everyday lift to full vintage glamour.
You will also learn which products and tools make big hair easier and how to adapt the method to your own hair type. If you have favorite hair tools or products, bring them along and the instructor will show you how to get more out of them. Many of the items used in class are available to buy in the studio shop.
Why It Works for Groups
Few things get a room laughing like a table of friends teasing their hair to new heights. Guests work side by side, help each other with the back of the head and compare results, which makes this one of the most fun team building activities for women and mixed groups alike. With a maximum of 8 guests it is also one of the most hands-on team building activities for small groups, so the instructor can check in with every guest.
The class is a great choice for a birthday or a bachelorette party, where it doubles as retro-glam bachelorette party entertainment before the celebration. It also fits a list of christmas team bonding activities for a small team or group of friends getting ready for a holiday party, and it makes a fun gift for a mom or a friend who loves vintage style.
