Short hair? No problem! 🙌🏽✨
This fellow braider @sparkle_with_anouska trekked over from London to Aylesbury to sit in my chair to get festival-ready — and let me tell you, we brought the braid MAGIC 🔥

With a pop of colour, extra length, and all the vibes, she’s now ready to turn heads this weekend. 🎪🌈

At Mamas That Braid, we don’t let short hair stop the show. We elevate it. 💁🏽‍♀️💥

🧡 Festival braids, done right.

✨ Dedication. Skill. Legacy. ✨
This incredible student travelled all the way from Brighton to Aylesbury to learn how to feed in extensions to Dutch braids — something her hairdressing course doesn’t cover.

She’s an apprentice who loves to braid and wanted to take her skills to the next level. And let me tell you… she absolutely smashed it. 💪🏽🎉

To finish off our session, she braided beautiful natural silver/blonde extensions into her mum’s hair — a moment full of pride and love. 💛

This is what Mamas That Braid is all about — passing on skills, building confidence, and creating beautiful memories through hair.

🧡 Your hands have power.

Day 2 – strictly grown ups! Had so much fun bringing braid magic to the field again. Nothing better than seeing big smiles (and getting big hugs!) from the girls (& guys) loving their braids. Thank you to everyone who stopped by — what a weekend!

Thank you to big man Resh and the team @playingthefieldfestival !!!

Today was a big one — my first weekend festival! Brought some braid, tinsel, and glitter magic to the field. Huge shoutout to @playingthefield for giving a small business like mine the chance to be part of such an amazing weekend. Follow along for Day 2 tomorrow!

#mamasthatbraid

What a magical weekend at the Lambing Event at Oaklands College, St Albans!

So thrilled to have brought colourful, fabulous braids to so many little superstars — the smiles, giggles, and happy faces made my day!

From beautiful rainbow braids to tinsel highlights and cute stitch hair accessories, it was non-stop fun alongside amazing activities — live music, cute animals, dino visits, bouncy castles, and more!

Big thanks to @eventsatoaklands for putting on such a brilliant weekend and to all the lovely families who stopped by to get braided — your energy was everything!

Loved seeing the talented @facepaintingwinnie and @sparkle_with_anouska spreading even more smiles — such a fab team of creatives all round!
And a huge thank you to @stalbansholistictherapies for making the introduction and getting us down to this amazing event!

This little queen came in with a head full of beautiful, healthy hair and asked for something special — hearts braided right in. And you know we had to deliver!

Braiding isn’t just a style — it’s a form of expression, care, and confidence. Whether you’re braiding for bonding or building a business, your hands have power.

“Just say the budget and sit down!”
When your regular client tells you “I trust you—do whatever you want”… you already know it’s go time!

This look:
• 10 Mixed size straight backs
• Silver thread wrap
• Beads + cuffs for extra detail

This is what happens when skill meets trust.

Spotted a young entrepreneur in the making today on Berryfields! This little guy was running his very own gemstone sale—great prices, gorgeous crystals, and even better vibes. Love to see kids getting creative and learning the value of hard work early. Go support if you’re local! (Thursday 17th April)

“Can you do her hair for the festival?”
Absolutely—and it’s more than just braids. It’s part of the moment.

For her big dance performance at the Honeycomb Festival, we went with two classic French plaits—tight enough to last through every spin, soft enough to suit the celebration.

Styles like this are perfect for little dancers, performers, or anyone who wants to look and feel their best while moving freely.

Need festival or performance hair that holds up AND looks beautiful?

Based in Aylesbury @honeycombfestival

Braiding is more than a style—it’s a confidence booster, a bonding moment, and a crown you wear with pride.

This style is perfect for:
• Special occasions
• School styles that last
• Little ones who love fun, creative looks

Includes:
• Crown braid with gold thread
• Bubble ponytails
• Bun detailing

When your client leaves grinning from ear to ear AND drops a 5-star review… you know you nailed it.

This Viking-inspired look features clean top-of-the-head cornrows—sharp, strong, and styled to last. Whether you want a bold look or a protective style with edge, we’ve got you covered.

No matter the hair type—if it can be braided, we’ll braid it.

Client Review:
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’ve just had my hair braided for the first time by Tara and she has done such an amazing job. My partner is a hairdresser and she’s been braiding my hair for a couple of years. But we wanted to try someone who was an expert and Tara is definitely that. On top of that she’s also a lovely person. I can’t recommend her braiding enough.

Want your own transformation? DM to book your appointment or tag a friend who needs a new look.

Short hair, don’t care—because we’ve got the skills and the tools.

For this fresh cornrow look, we added black extensions to grip the hair and give it a clean, finished style that lasts longer and looks sharper.

Whether your hair’s short, thick, or fine—adding natural-toned extensions can help us create protective styles that stay neat and last longer.

No need to grow it out first—just bring what you’ve got.
We’ll handle the rest.

“Can you braid hair this short?”
We get this question all the time—and the answer is YES.
With the right technique and the right gel, even short hair can be cornrowed cleanly and comfortably.

This style was done with no extensions—just skill, precision, and a good bit of braiding gel to grip every strand.
But if you’d prefer a fuller look or need a little extra grip? We’ve got natural-coloured extensions ready to blend in seamlessly.

Whether your hair is long, short, or somewhere in between—there’s a braid for you.
Ready to try something new? DM to book or tag someone who’s been thinking about it!

She said she felt like she was in a dream! Ultimate compliment for moi!

Dads, It’s Time to Master the Art of Braiding!

We see you, dads—the ones tackling morning chaos, dance recitals, and bedtime routines. But when it comes to styling your little one’s hair? That’s where things get… tricky. If you’ve ever struggled with a simple ponytail or felt defeated by tangled strands, this workshop is for you!

At Mamas That Braid, we’re bringing you a Dads-Only Braiding Workshop—a fun, supportive space where you’ll learn to braid like a pro (yes, really). In just one session, we’ll guide you through Dutch, French, and Fishtail braids, all at your pace—no experience needed!

⭐️ No skills? No problem. One dad came in not knowing how to tie a ponytail and left mastering the Dutch braid!
⭐️ Hands-on, stress-free learning—our expert instructors break it down step by step.
⭐️ A special bonding experience—your child will love seeing you master this skill just for them.

💬 What past dads are saying:
“The hair braiding workshop for dads was an absolute delight! It was a heartwarming experience, fostering not only the art of braiding but also strengthening the bond between fathers and their children. The instructor was incredibly patient and skilled. The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive, ensuring every dad felt confident by the end. I left with new skills that I hope will impress my little one. Highly recommend this workshop to all dads looking to surprise their kids with a skill likely not expected from them!” – Justin Barriteau

Don’t let another morning battle with hairbands win! Join us and become the dad who braids with confidence.
