Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of hair courses are available?

  +

  Our hair courses cover a range of specializations including braiding techniques (French, Dutch, Fishtail, and Waterfall braids), vintage styling from the 1950s, color theory and application through the CPR Colour system, barbering and men's hairdressing, texture and curls cutting, balayage and blonde techniques, and creative to commercial styling. Courses range from foundation level for beginners to advanced masterclasses for experienced stylists.

• Do I need prior experience to attend hair and makeup courses?

  +

  No. Most courses are beginner-friendly. For example, Hair Braiding 101 states 'Even if you've never braided before (or only know how to do a plait), you'll easily learn.' Similarly, makeup workshops and skincare courses specify 'No prior experience in makeup required' and 'completely beginner-friendly.' Some advanced courses like TONI & GUY Advanced Barbering are designed for experienced stylists, but this is clearly indicated in course descriptions.

• What should I bring to makeup and hairstyling workshops?

  +

  Workshop materials vary by course. For makeup workshops, bring any makeup and brushes you already own—instructors recommend against purchasing new products beforehand as they'll help you choose suitable items based on your skin type. For hairstyling workshops, bring your existing hairstyling brushes, tools, and accessories. Skincare making workshops typically provide all ingredients and equipment. Check your specific course details, as some workshops state 'all equipment and ingredients are provided.'

• How long are the typical hair and makeup courses?

  +

  Course duration varies. Short workshops range from 1.5 to 2 hours (such as Natural Skin Care workshops and Face Painting classes), while half-day events typically run 3-4 hours (like the 1950s Vintage Hair & Make-up course). Foundation and creative courses often span full days. Online courses like 'Starting with CPR Colour' are self-paced. Check individual course listings for exact timing.

• What makeup and skincare products will I create in workshops?

  +

  Skincare workshops focus on natural, organic products. Participants typically make 3-4 items per session, such as face serums, lip balms, body oils, face moisturizers, makeup removers, face scrubs, deodorants, and bath bombs. Makeup courses focus on application techniques rather than product creation, covering contouring, highlighting, winged eyeliner, and foundation application. Some advanced workshops like perfume-making allow you to create 3 custom fragrance blends.

• Are there courses specifically for teens and younger participants?

  +

  Yes. The 'Natural Body & Skincare Workshop • Teens & Tween' is designed for younger participants and covers formulating and creating natural skincare products. The Hairstyling Workshop by DASH and Makeup Workshop by DASH are suitable for ages 16 and above, with special requests considered for ages 13-16. Catwalk and Deportment classes teach posture and runway techniques. Check individual course prerequisites for specific age requirements.
