Take your hairstyling ability up a few notches in this small-group class for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of hair braiding. In an inspiring salon setting, you will be taught a variety of simple braids (i.e., French, Dutch, Fishtail, etc.) with easy, step-by-step instruction from a professional Hair Stylist. No experience needed — just an interest to learn and a willingness to have fun! Participants will leave armed with new hair-styling skills and a complimentary professional styling product. Notes: Participants must have hair long enough to braid and arrive with clean hair. Teenagers (14+) are welcome to register along with an adult registrant. Limited to 10.
Location: Dellaria Salon, 328 Chestnut Street
Dellaria Salons founder, John Dellaria, used to say “Fashion is the ultimate dictator. It is an outside force. But style comes from within, from individual inspiration!" When John Dellaria began his career in 1962, and opened his first small salon in Newton, MA, technical knowledge was limited. Talent and a lot of experience inspired John to produce a new method of cutting hair called the John Dellaria Pyrametrics® System -- which to this day is taught to Dellaria Salons’ inspiring team of hair stylists. The uniqueness of the John Dellaria Pyrametrics® System grants Dellaria Salon Hair Stylists a designer’s palette! It teaches stylists how to create any style or design their inspiration calls for any given client. And because the John Dellaria Pyrametrics® System is a method of cutting hair precisely, it provides stylists the ability to reproduce a particular haircut, time after time, with precision. Because of the John Dellaria Pyrametrics® cutting system, clients can actually go longer between stylings. It’s built to last!
Dellaria Salons haircuts are always customized to suit each client. The basic design is varied until it is intimately personalized into “the” precise look for the client. The visionary concept may be modified into an advanced, contemporary, or classical version, depending on what best suits the client’s lifestyle needs. And so, for nearly a century, through diligent dedication, continued education and training, and quality work, Dellaria Salons has become one of the largest groups of hair salons in the country, and a leader in the hair industry. Our success is driven by devoted individuals who work together across the company to provide tremendous value and service to each of our customers – to meet and exceed their expectations every day. It is Dellaria Salons mission to uphold and enhance John’s and our reputation for quality in styling, customer service and the products we offer.
