Have you ever wondered if there is MORE for you to do in life?
That there’s something BIG out there waiting for you or you have something burning inside of you to inspire and make an impact? You see I started doing hair on my front porch when I was 11 years old as a hair braider.  Since that time I have been an entrepreneur in the beauty business.  After graduating from high school my mother told me that I needed to get a "REAL JOB" with benefits;  I was a teenage parent and I needed security for him."  I tried it... And even during that time I still operated my own business part-time and continued to attend beauty school.   I did all three for about five years until I graduated from beauty school.  Then I decided my security would be what, I WANT IT TO BE... That I'm a true ENTREPRENEUR and that's all I want to dedicate my life to.  I quit my permanent/full-time jobs with Hershey Foods and the U.S. Postal Service and opened my first REAL beauty salon in 1991.  I was 25 yrs old. Since that time "I've NEVER LOOKED BACK! I've been in the beauty business and became a natural hair/braid expert,  licensed cosmetologist, cosmetology teacher, beauty school owner, beauty school evaluator, continuing education provider and salon/school consultant. Currently, I sill hold all those roles.  LEARN MORE ABOUT AMANDA (​https://www.blackgirlbeautyinc.com/about-amanda.html)

I didn't know how to do anything with braids prior to this workshop.  The fact that I learned how to do basic braids, all the way to two and three strand twists back to learning sew- in weaves, it was just good to learn so much in one day.  But the teamwork and confidence built was amazing as well!  I'm now confident enough to braid hair after taking this class.  Now that I've learned from  best "Ms. Amanda" I  feel like I AM THE BEST!

I've been a hair braider for some time now.  But I learned a new braid technique on how to start my hair braids when adding extensions!  I love Ms. Amanda's technique.
​Thank You Ms.  Amanda!

My name is Neishta  and I'm from Los Angeles California. My mother was a hairstylist so I was raised in the beauty industry.   I enjoyed Ms. Amanda's LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop.  I loved how everything tied in, we started with
​the basic corn rolling and  ended up working all the way to create the foundation for our sew-in weave.  I learned crochet braids, and how to  achieve different looks using different textures of hair.  It was a great class.  I enjoyed every moment of it!

The best money spent on my business so far! I travelled almost 300 miles from Sumter, SC to Atlanta, GA for this workshop.  I learned 2 strand twist, sew-ins, cornrows, interlocking, knotless braids and feed-ins.  I'm a certified sister locks consultant and I will now be able to add another service to my business.

I really enjoyed Ms. Amanda's Learn How To Braid Workshop.  I was excited to learn how to do feed-in braids.  I have been a hair braider for a while but I was struggling with feed-ins until I took Ms.  Amanda's class. Now I'm ready to go make plenty of money!

I came to Ms. Amanda's LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop not knowing how to do anything but plat hair.  Now I know how to cornrow, I know how to do feed-ins and sew-ins.  And I now have confidence in my hair braiding.  
                                       
  Thank you Ms. Amanda!

I'm only 16 yrs old, but I've been braiding hair for a while.  I came to the LEARN HOW TO BRAID workshop so I can learn how to perfect my braiding skills.  Today I learned how to do that and I also learned Ms. Amanda' technique on starting my braids with extensions as well as her knotless
 technique for individuals.  It came out  very well for my first time and I Thank Ms. Amanda for helping me to improve my skills as a hair braider!

I absolutely enjoyed my experience with Ms. Amanda.  I can say her energy/personality is amazing! Her teaching ability/skills are impeccable and I actually learned a whole lot, especially with braid techniques I absolutely had no confidence in.  (And if you know me, I'm very confident 101) I thank you Ms.  Amanda!
