"I attended the NASMAH period hair course with Sandra and Stephanie. I thoroughly enjoyed the four days of period hairstyling. The course was not only highly informative and creative, it was also fascinating to hear of all the experiences Stephanie and Sandra had to share. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to expand or refresh their period hairstyling skills."
