WHY BRAID STOP SHOP?

More than braiding. A pathway into the industry.

Learning to braid is only one part of becoming a successful braider.

A professional braiding career requires skill, consistency, professionalism, confidence, client awareness and business knowledge.

This programme has been designed around that bigger picture.

Throughout the 12 weeks, you will work through a progressive curriculum that encourages you to develop your technique while also beginning to think like a professional service provider.

OUR APPROACH

LEARN → PRACTISE → REFLECT → DEVELOP → PROFESSIONALISE

You won’t simply consume information.

You will be expected to study, practise, complete assignments and reflect on your development, creating a learning experience that feels closer to a professional academy programme than a casual online class.
