HAMILTON'S FIRST

BLACK HAIR BRUNCH

Spice Factory August 19, 2018

We are so excited to be able to come together as a community in celebration of the beauty of our hair.

​

Our Objective

    We are looking to provide the Hamilton community a chance to take an in-depth look at the styling, health, and conversation surrounding black hair – something that has yet to be seen in our city. Our Black Hair Event will essentially be the first of its kind in our city and it will include:

·         Vendors

·         Q&A Discussions with Panelists

·         Henna Artist

·         Make-Up Artist

·         Loonie Raffle

·         Networking Opportunities

·         Goodie Bags

·         Hair Demos

·         Food and Drinks

​

This Black Hair Brunch was created with the hopes of giving members of our community an opportunity to connect and build long-lasting relationships in addition to ties with local vendors. Many times individuals in our community are forced to travel out of town or search online for their black hair needs  - we are looking to create a platform where we can meet person to person in a comfortable space without judgment - only understanding. We invite the community to come together to learn, bond over stories and network with like-minded people who have experienced situations that we can all relate to.

​

Our panelists include:
