Hiya Parents! With the massive, sell-out success of our debut Pints &amp; Ponytails at Patina event - we kept getting asked for when the next one would be :) We also received innumerable messages from the MOMS asking for their own Pints &amp; Ponytails session!&nbsp; So here goes! It&#39;s time to level up your hairstyling game!&nbsp; Practice braids, ponytails and simple updos on mannequin heads &mdash; pint in hand &mdash; at Patina Brewery. For MOMS - 4pm to 5:30pm - take your braiding and hairstyling game to the next level - if you&#39;re a dance mom, cheerleader mom, just a mom who loves fancy hairdos and want to try them on your kiddos - this is for you!&nbsp; For DADS - 6pm to 8pm - a hands-on basic hair styling workshop designed specifically for dads and caregivers of all backgrounds and skill levels.
