Youth Braid
Clinics.
Youth Braid Clinics are an initiative of It's Bigger Than Braids, developed and delivered in partnership with Youth Braid and Business Academy. The clinics create supervised opportunities for young people to move from learning beauty skills to applying technical and professional skills in real-world settings.
Youth build experience in customer service, communication, professionalism, sanitation, teamwork, time management, responsibility, entrepreneurship, and career exploration.
