Hair Care Confidence
For anyone who wants to understand their own hair and look after it properly. We cover your hair type and what it needs, building a wash and moisture routine that works, protecting your hair at night, choosing products without wasting money, and simple protective styles you can do yourself.
Parent and Child Workshops with Kids Crowns by Rose
For mums, dads, grandparents and carers who want to feel confident doing their child's hair. You will learn gentle detangling, neat parting, plaits and cornrows, and how to keep styles tidy through the school week. Practise on a mannequin head or bring your child along as your model (ages [6+]).
Corporate, Team Building and Inclusion Workshops
A hands-on session that brings your team together while building understanding of textured hair, its cultural history and why hair matters so much to identity at work. Your team will learn basic braiding techniques, talk openly in a respectful and welcoming space, and leave with a better understanding of their colleagues. Popular for Black History Month, wellbeing days, inclusion programmes and away days.
Celebrations and Social Events
Hen parties, birthdays, Braid and Sip evenings and catch-ups with friends. Learn a new skill together, have a laugh and leave with something to show for it.

I am Rose, founder of Hair by Rose Essex. I have over eight years of experience specialising in textured hair of every type, from natural hair care to braids, and I run Kids Crowns by Rose for younger clients. Before hairdressing, I spent over seven years working with businesses as a client manager, so corporate clients can expect clear communication and a well-organised session from first enquiry to the day itself.

Do I need any experience? No. Workshops are designed for complete beginners, and confident braiders will still pick up new techniques.
Will I receive a qualification? No. These are practical learning sessions for everyday hair care, not accredited courses.
Can I bring my child to practise on? Yes, for Parent and Child workshops. Please let me know when you book.
What do I need to bring? Nothing. All tools and mannequin heads are provided.
“I can finally do my daughter’s cornrows for school without tears”
““We wanted an inclusion activity that felt genuine rather than another presentation, and Rose delivered exactly that. Our team learned about the history and care of Afro-textured hair in a way that was relaxed, respectful and fun. Several colleagues said it was the most meaningful session we have run this year.”
