The live event series helping fathers learn practical hairstyling skills.
Published:Created by Matthew Carter and Lawrence Price, hosts of The Secret Life of Dads podcast, Pints & Ponytails combines hands-on hairstyling tuition with informal discussions around fatherhood. The events were developed to encourage dads to spend more quality time with their daughters while building confidence in everyday hair styling.
Following growing demand for the events, the organisers approached Pivot Point to supply professional training mannequins that could be used repeatedly at workshops across the UK.
Pivot Point is providing a range of human hair mannequins featuring different hair types and textures, allowing attendees to practise techniques on hair that reflects a variety of clients.
Commenting on the partnership, Jan Laan, Vice President of International Business Development at Pivot Point, said: “The project is incredibly inspiring, and it was clear Matthew and Lawrence needed mannequins that offered the most realistic training experience possible. Providing different hair types and textures allows participants to build practical skills and confidence they can take home.”
“We want dads to have the most realistic experience possible during our events so they leave feeling confident styling their daughters’ hair. Pivot Point has been instrumental in helping us deliver that.”
Pints & Ponytails has gained widespread attention through social media, media coverage and community events, as the organisers continue to expand the initiative to reach more fathers.
