    I just recently took this class cause I had a great experience at Goldplaited in prior classes. I only know the basic braids but learned how to fish tail and numerous other braids. The instructors were attentive and even gave time to come by to teach specific braids that we request. I definitely feel more confident in braiding and learned so many tips from them!

    I highly recommend this class. I've taken two classes and both were great. Lots of hands on/individual attention from instructors. Think your short hair or fine hair is a problem for braids? No problem. They will teach you how to make the braids work for your hair.

    I learned the basics of braiding and defifeel more confident now. The class was fun, the instructors were great, and provided lots of personal attention, which was great! I'm glad I know about this place. I'm going to be doing a new head shot soon, and will use them for hair and make up. They are a finishing salon only. They do a great job!

    I had a great time at GoldPlaited! The class was informative, fun and useful. I've already rocked some new styles based on the techniques we covered during the class. The teachers were very patient and worked to explain and demonstrate each braid in detail. They shared some simple tricks that are easy to execute and gave me good tips on how I can practice picking up hair (French/Dutch braiding).

    I really enjoyed the class and strengthened my braiding skills. Krysta was our instructor and was very helpful and thorough. She covered products to use, tips and tricks and went thru 4-5 different braid/hair styles. I liked the structure of the class . The instructor would demonstrate on a dummy head and then allow students to practice on themselves. Instructors walked around, gave feedback and provided assistance. French braid was not covered but Krysta did show me how to do a French braid during the second half of the class, which was open format and students were encouraged to practice what was taught in class or ask about a braid they wanted to learn :) Salon was close to Brown/Purple line so getting there after work was a breeze. Would recommend this class :)

    Braids 101 was another fantastic dabble class at Goldplaited! Sydney and Krista were amazing teachers -- clear explanations, demonstrations, and individual attention. My hair isn't super long, so I appreciated that they focused on starting braids high, and then we were able to finish in a way that worked for our hair lengths and textures. We learned several different braids: underhand, Dutch, rope, and fishtail, as well as how to style braids into cute up styles. This class was so fun, and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking it!

    Had a great time at the braiding class! We learned three different braids and then how to do something called festival hair (I think that's the name - it's where you use an elastic headband around your head and tuck the hair under). They had lots of staff on hand to make sure everyone unferstood how each style worked AND the staff was super friendly and patient for hair challenged folks like myself. I've been able to duplicate all of the braids outside of class and have been getting compliments! I would definitely take another class.

    This class was so fun and Mal and her team were so helpful. I went in with little confidence in my braiding abilities, but the instructors broke it down step-by-step. We had plenty of time to sip wine, practice on our own, follow along with the instructors, and work and with the teachers one-on-one. I left knowing how to do a Dutch braid, a fishtail braid and a French braid, plus two alternatives to ponytails. I look forward to being the envy of Instagram with my hip braids, and I look forward to more classes at goldplaited!

    This class was great! First, they offered the participants white wine upon entering, which was both unexpected and welcomed! There were only six people in my session with three teachers, so there was a lot of one on one help along the way. It was well-paced and differentiated; some people caught on faster than others, and the instructors were able to help everyone. They even stayed past the end time to teach people any braids they hadn't covered in class. They were all very kind and helpful. While most of the other participants knew each other, I went in alone. However, I never felt awkward or left out, in large part because of the instructors. I hope they offer an intermediate braiding course of some kind to keep going!

I am hopeless when it comes to doing my hair for special occasions, but after the braided upstyles class not only was I able to recreate everything later at home, but I had several people ask if I had my hair professionally done!

    This class was fun and insightful, though I probably wouldn't rate it a beginners' class. If you already know how to braid and french braid well, then this class is probably great for your skill level. I unfortunately didn't have enough of a base level of braid knowledge and skill to take much away from the class. In addition, most of the class is demonstration - there isn't a ton of hands-on learning.

Krysta was our instructor and was very helpful and thorough. She covered products to use, tips and tricks and went thru 4-5 different braid/hair styles. I liked the structure of the class . The instructor would demonstrate on a dummy head and then allow students to practice on themselves. Instructors walked around, gave feedback and provided assistance. French braid was not covered but Krysta did show me how to do a French braid during the second half of the class, which was open format and students were encouraged to practice what was taught in class or ask about a braid they wanted to learn :) Salon was close to Brown/Purple line so getting there after work was a breeze. Would recommend this class :)","teacher_response":null}
