  • If accepted into the program, your deposit will be applied toward your total tuition.

  • If accepted into the program but unable to attend your assigned cohort, your deposit can be applied to a future round - however, it is non-refundable once your spot has been confirmed.

  • If for any reason you’re not accepted, your deposit is fully refundable.

Because each round is limited to 10 stylists for maximum individual support, enrollment is by application only.


If more than 10 qualified stylists apply, we’ll open an additional cohort - but class sizes will always remain small to ensure personalized attention and feedback.

Education Testimonials

Coming in and knowing how to dutch braid previously, and then being able to enhance that and take it to a new level was so much fun and so rewarding!!

Jullia

Hairstylist

The [Hailee] method. I really thought I could braid and braid well… after learning that method it was alarming how easily it became muscle memory! It’s like I can Dutch braid in my sleep

Audrey

Mom

I think my biggest takeaway is how simplified the course made braiding. I've always overcomplicated any type of updo or style. Having the camera follow along, as a visual learner, did wonders.

Jillian

Hairstylist

Even though i would consider myself a somewhat advanced braider, i learned a few things anyway and it felt like a great refresher.

Russow

Hairstylist

This course is amazing. I would encourage anyone with an interest or passion for braiding, to invest in their knowledge and complete MFB.
Each section is detailed and I felt the amount of work that has been put into creating the modules.

Clare

DIYer

I ended the course with new tools in my tool belt that i’ll be applying to my every day practice. This course was thorough and easy to navigate!

Shelagh

Braider

The way this made me want to grow in the industry while also being able to apply things like the braiding tips and tricks to my everyday client styles is so nice! Definitely worth the price and time it takes!

Julian

Hairstylist

Very great course for beginners : I really wish I had this when I first started, a year ago!! It's still a very nice course for people who already braids.
I'd recommend this course to anyone who'd like to level up their festival braiding game :)

Gaby

Festival-Goer

I started with bare minimal experience in Dutch braiding and zero experience in festival braiding. I was looking at various braiding schools and courses but most of them felt like not enough time was given or they were out of my price range.
