Morning Opportunity: The Lindy Charm School For Girls
Saturday 7th August, 9:30am-Noon
John XXIII College Building 51, Daley Road, ANU
Cost: $60 Pre-Paid NOT INCLUDED IN FULL PASS


The Lindy Charm School workshops are divided into sections which cover:
How to create hairstyles from the 30’s to 50’s, firstly the traditional way and then the newer version using modern styling tools. How to apply make-up to give a classic beautiful finish, just as they did back then. Do’s and don’ts about vintage fashions plus how/what is vintage. A generous amount of time is dedicated to assisting students to achieve their own hair and make-up style using the information they have learned. So if you’ve ever wanted to become a pin-up gal and learn how to pin curl, victory roll, set your hair in rollers, finger wave, or re-create vintage make-up, then this workshop is for you.
