BTP in session

It’s time to be the trendsetter and create styles that set you apart from the rest. These classes will build your confidence and help elevate your business and social media presence.

Alternative half up bridal braids

We love one of the most requested bridal looks – the half up half down hairstyle with an accent braid…but let’s be honest, sometimes you need to change it up a bit!

Throughout my career, I have styled many bridal parties and taught classes that had me creating a half up look with an accent braid. Usually this hairstyle is created with either one of two braids – the dutch 3 strand or fishtail braid. Which is great, but with so many unique braids to choose from, I decided to focus on using some of my latest favs to incorporate into this beautiful look and give it a new vibe.

I knew that if I felt this way about the half up look…maybe you did too. This got me thinking about designing a class to show you 3 elevated braids to take your bridal party’s looks from good to great and ignite your creativity again. 

In this session, we will be learning the DUTCH INFINITY, DIAMOND BRAID and the FRENCH LADDER BRAID to level up your half up hairstyles. In addition to learning the mechanics of the braids, I will share my social media tips on how to market them. 

It’s time to be the trendsetter and create styles that set you apart from the rest. This class will build your confidence and elevate your social media presence in addition to pushing  your boundaries on your braiding skills.

Book your session

Get ready to learn some looks that will get you excited about elevating your half up looks. All classes are virtual and led by BTP founder Angela Cattaneo.

Purchase your 1:1 private session below and once your order is confirmed you will receive an email with a Zoom class link and date of our session.

If you are new to braiding or you’ve been doing it for 20 years, you will leave her class having not only learned something but feeling uplifted and excited. If you get the opportunity, take her class. I’m so glad I did! Thank you, Angela!

Stella Rickett

I did the Alternative Half Up Bridal Braids virtual class. This is by far the best hair class I have ever done. Angela is AMAZING! I got so much out of the class and I feel sooo much more confident in my braiding skills. Angela is very understanding and really puts her whole heart into the class. Thank you again Angela, I canĘĽt wait for the next one!
