Pints & Ponytails:
Building confidence, connection and community in Bournemouth
Pints & Ponytails: Building Confidence, Connection & Community in Bournemouth
At Holmes of Beauty, we are always looking for ways to bring people together, and our very first Pints & Ponytails event at our Wallisdown branch was nothing short of incredible.
Hosted by Chris, this special evening welcomed dads from across Bournemouth for something a little different — a chance to learn how to style their daughters’ hair, all while enjoying a relaxed, friendly atmosphere (and yes… a pint or two 🍻).
Hands on experience for dads
The session focused on teaching five easy and practical hairstyles, designed to help dads feel more confident when it comes to everyday hair routines.
From ponytails to braids, Chris guided the group step-by-step, ensuring everyone felt supported — no matter their starting skill level. With small group sizes, each attendee had the opportunity for 1:1 guidance, making the experience both personal and relaxed.
But it wasn’t just about hair…
Adam
“I attended a ‘Pints and Ponytails’ event at Holmes of Beauty in Wallisdown. What a fantastic idea and brilliantly organised. I’m yet to try the hairstyles on my daughter but I really feel like I learnt from the experience. The staff were great and I will definitely be recommending the salon to my family and friends. Thanks!”
Dave
“I attended the Pints and Ponytails event for dads tonight and I cannot tell you how fantastic it was. The event was great fun, a good laugh, very very educational and Chris and the team were fantastic. Made me feel very comfortable and it was super enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.”
Tom
“I went for a Pint & Ponytails hair tutorial class with Chris. It was great! Perfect amount of attendees to be able to get 1:1 help when needed, and I left a lot more confident than before I started! Nice to meet other like minded dads with a range of skills and Chris moved at an appropriate pace for us all. Thank you!”
More than a class- a community
What made this event truly special was the atmosphere. It was a space where dads could come together, share a laugh, learn something new, and connect with others in the local Bournemouth community.
We’re incredibly proud to create an environment that feels welcoming, supportive, and inclusive — something that aligns perfectly with our mission at Holmes of Beauty.
Big Ideas, Real Impact
We are so thankful to be creating a space where dads can come together, enjoy a beer, build confidence, and strengthen those everyday moments with their children.
Due to the amazing feedback, Pints & Ponytails will now be a regular event at our Wallisdown branch — and spaces are limited every time.
If you’d like to be part of the next one, keep an eye on our socials or get in touch to reserve your spot.
Because sometimes, it’s the little things — like doing your daughter’s hair — that create the biggest memories. 💛
