The Amazings.

I love making things, I really do. I also love learning things – its one of the many reasons I have spent much of the last 28 years continually doing exams (although given my time again, they probably wouldn’t have been tax exams…).

Luckily, the internet is a wonderful place and you are now able to learn incredible things from wonderful people, all from the comfort of your own sofa.

Retro Hair 1

I had heard about ‘The Amazings’ several times over the past couple of months and in fact had already signed up to their mailing list when they asked me whether I would review one of their new online classes. Given the options available, I went for the Retro Hair Dos class.

The premise of The Amazings is for ‘Elders’ to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. I absolutely love that anyone over 50 can become an Amazings teacher, they just have to be passionate about their subject – how cool is that? Think of all the information that is just sat waiting to be passed along.

Retro Hair 3

Anyway, the class I chose offered three different hairdos – a 30s chignon, 50s Rockabilly style and a 60s Bardot. The Bardot was the instant appeal for me – I’m generally pretty terrible with hair (I spend a maximum of 2 minutes doing it in the morning, and that’s with drying it…) and I loved how simple Michael seemed to make it. Unfortunately I don’t own any rollers (see, I said I was awful..), so couldn’t try out the style on myself, but I most certainly will be in the very near future.

The online classes are priced at £8-£12 and for each class, a portion of the price goes directly to the teacher. You also get access to that class forever and you can contact the teacher directly for extra help. As well as online tutorials, if you’re in London, they have a whole selection of ‘in person’ classes, I reeeally want to learn how to make a wooden bowl!!

What a truly excellent concept.
