Sample Schedule
-
Meet the team + meet each other. Icebreaker activity to ease tension and set the tone — no judgment zone from the start.
-
Handout + slide presentation covering: hair porosity, scalp care, texture types, shampooing & conditioning, and the hair-health connection (diet, hydration, stress). Myth-busting included — co-washing is first up.
-
One-on-one hair and scalp discovery. Each participant learns their porosity type and gets personalized style recommendations from the 3 options: curl training, finger coils, or two-strand twists.
-
Full cleanse with provided products. Demonstrate proper technique first, then guide each participant. Covers: scalp massage, detangling under water, product application, and conditioning time with plasticap.
-
Snacks, drinks, music playlist. Open conversation time — this is where community builds. Encourage sharing without pressure.
-
Each participant works on their chosen style based on their texture consultation. Demonstrate full technique first, then guide step-by-step with individual attention. Assistant helps manage flow. Tools: detangle brush, mirror, comb, clips, water bottle, towels, ponytail holders.
-
30 minutes under dryer. Use this time to go over each person's take-home routine card and introduce their 3-product retail bag. Discuss usage order and why each product was chosen for their texture.
-
Capture before/after content (with permission). Collect reviews on the spot. Share business card + website. Introduce follow-up appointment and the Breathe Joy Community. End with encouragement — they leave confident.

-
Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little water on. We provide towels, but dressing casually makes the wash experience easier and more enjoyable.
-
Nope. Come as you are — stretched, in a puff, braided, whatever. We start fresh from the shampoo bowl.
-
This experience was designed with beginners in mind. We start from the foundation and build up. No prior knowledge needed — just show up ready to learn.
-
Sessions are intentionally small — no more than 7 participants — so that every person gets individual attention and real hands-on guidance. This is not a big group class.
-
We have an assistant on hand throughout the entire experience. No one gets left behind — that's a promise.
-
You'll leave with your routine card, your retail bag, and your stylist's contact information. You'll also have the option to book a follow-up appointment and join our ongoing community for continued support.
