Come learn from the top bridal hair artists in North America, all in one room, for the first time.

Be honest

You can do beautiful hair.
But can you do the look she asked for?

  • She sends the inspo photo, and you're not 100% sure you can recreate it on the day.
  • Every masterclass shows you the pretty finished look, never how it's actually done.
  • There are techniques you want to offer — Hollywood waves, curly bridal — but you never learned how, so you turn those bookings away.
  • You've built your skills one scattered course at a time. Never from the best, all at once.

How it works

See exactly how it's done

The top bridal hair artists in North America, together in one room for two days. You watch each one work live, up close, from first section to final pin.

You ask your questions in real time. Every technique, start to finish. You leave knowing exactly how it's done, and ready to do it yourself on your next bride.

What you'll learn

Two full days of technique
from the artists who do it best

Real bridal hair skills you'll use on every booking, taught live by the artists who do them best. Here's exactly what's in each day.

November 9

Day One

The looks brides ask for by name

Maria Bonilla

Master the French Twist & Half-Up Waves

two modern glam looks

Two classic, high-demand looks, and the ones stylists most often "don't do" because they never nailed the technique.

So you canoffer two polished, in-demand looks on any hair type, and widen who you say yes to.

Kira Gunn

Master the Polished Romantic Updo

romantic, but refined, and on-trend

The elegant bride wants soft romance, but polished, not undone, and the updo everyone is asking for right now is the hardest to get right.

So you candeliver the trending romantic updo for elegant, refined brides, soft and polished without ever falling flat.

Rachel Riley

Master Hollywood Waves in Under 50 Minutes

the glamour wave every bride wants

Hollywood waves can eat your entire morning. One of the most requested looks, and one of the slowest to get right.

So you canbook more clients every working day, and charge more for the look every bride asks for.

Shannon McKee

Master the Fast Updo — for the Whole Wedding Party

quick, polished, wedding-day ready

The bride isn't the only head on the day — mothers, bridesmaids, the whole party are waiting, and the clock is against you.

So you canturn around a polished updo in minutes and take the whole party without the morning running away from you.

November 10

Day Two

Texture, curls, and the perfect finish

Charlotte Ewertz

Master Refined Texture, Straight Off Pinterest

romantic, airy, refined

Brides send you that romantic, airy, visibly textured look straight off their Pinterest board, and that refined texture is far harder to recreate than it looks.

So you cancreate Charlotte's refined, airy texture — an updo and a half-up — full of the visible, romantic texture brides pin and ask for by name.

Brittney Blake

Master Curls, Down & Up

a class for all hair textures

A curly bride books you and your stomach drops, because no one ever taught you how to work with curls without ruining them.

So you canlearn from one of the top curl artists in the country, and finally say yes to curly brides instead of turning them away.

Jillian Susten

Master the Clean, Sculpted Updo

sleek, polished, editorial-clean

The clean, sculpted updo looks effortless — but every flyaway shows, and 'polished' is the hardest finish to truly nail.

So you cancreate Jillian's signature clean, sculpted updo — the flawless, expensive-looking finish elegant brides ask for by name.

Why we made this

"For years I looked for this and couldn't find it. Every training was one artist, here and there, a piece at a time. There was never a place to learn from the best, all at once, and never a place built for us."

I'm Hadas. Before I built HOLLA, I was a bridal stylist myself, 782 brides. I know the exact feeling of watching a masterclass and still not understanding how it's really done, of wanting to offer a technique and having nowhere to learn it.

So I'm building the room I always wanted. My mission is bigger than one event: to bring bridal hairstylists together, from all over the world, into one community, and give us something made entirely for us.

Hadas · Founder, HOLLA Hair


More than a masterclass.
A community.

This is just the beginning, the start of a community for bridal stylists everywhere. A room full of people who get it, who lift each other up instead of competing. Come for the techniques, and leave with the stylists who become your people.

Leave with more than technique

You'll leave with the skills, the confidence, and the stylists who become your people.

Questions

Who is this for? Is it too advanced for me?

It's for bridal and event hairstylists at any level, from those building their bridal business to seasoned pros. Every technique is taught start to finish, so you can follow along whether you're newer or experienced. It's a room for stylists, not a general beauty expo.

Is it hands-on or watch-and-learn?

You'll watch each artist work live and up close, and ask your questions in the room. The value is seeing exactly how it's done, step by step, not a finished-look reveal.

Can I come for just one day?

Yes. Choose Day One (Nov 9) or Day Two (Nov 10), or come for both. Both days together is the best value and the full experience.

I'm traveling in. Where should I stay?

The venue is in Brooklyn, minutes from Lower Manhattan and easy to reach. Once you have your ticket, we'll send you a list of recommended hotels close to the venue.

Why Monday and Tuesday?

Because you work weekends. Weekdays keep the room clear of your own wedding bookings, so you don't turn down a bride to be here.

Where exactly is it?

Hamilton Loft, 120 Hamilton Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11231 — easy to reach by transit, with parking nearby.

Is it recorded? Can I join online?

Yes — every class is recorded, and VIP tickets include the recordings to keep and rewatch. There's no online or livestream ticket, and that's on purpose: this is an in-person room. Being there means watching each artist up close, asking your questions in real time, and meeting stylists who fly in from across the continent — and beyond. That's something a screen can't give you.

Are payment plans available?

Yes. Payment plans are available so the investment doesn't stand in your way.

What if my plans change?

Tickets are transferable, so if you can't make it you can pass your seat to another stylist — just let us know in advance. See our Event Terms for refunds, transfers and the full details.
