Celebrating Natural Hair, Elevating Skills

The Hairitage Academy

We’re passionate about empowering the next generation to embrace their natural beauty and master the art of braiding and hair care. Our academy offers hands-on workshops for children, aspiring teenagers, and parents, teaching the essential skills to care for and style natural hair with confidence. We believe that knowledge is power, and that starts with learning how to properly care for and nurture your natural hair.

Natural Hair Excellence

Mastering the art of braiding and hair care.

Whether you’re a young learner eager to explore braiding, a teenager wanting to perfect your skills, or a parent seeking to understand how to care for your child’s curls, we’ve created a welcoming space where everyone can learn and grow together.

Our fun, interactive workshops cover everything from the basics of hair care—like moisture retention, detangling techniques, and understanding hair porosity—to more advanced braiding styles, including box braids, cornrows, twists, and intricate designs. Each session is led by experienced instructors (Marla Mae Hair and Jo Ferrage- owner of Hairitage Care) who are passionate about teaching and supporting all ages on their hair journey.
