Ongoing Braiding Classes, Dublin 〰️
You’ve started learning. Now you want to get better.
Perhaps you taught yourself through YouTube or TikTok. You braid your own hair, your children’s hair or your friends. You can already do some techniques but struggle with others. Or you’re starting from the beginning and want someone to guide your hands properly.
You might be working on cleaner partings, stronger grip, consistent tension, adding braiding hair extensions or simply getting your fingers to move the way you want them to.
Ongoing Braiding Classes give you four weeks to work on those skills with guidance, practice and individual feedback.
Learn in class
Hands-on instruction in a maximum group of six.
Practise at home
Work on focused exercises between sessions.

Meet Angela
Hello!I'm Angela Eruba, founder of Fab Xtensions and creator of Fab Braiders Academy.
For years, I've worked with clients across Ireland, helping them achieve styles that are not only visually refined but also prioritise hair health, comfort, and long-lasting results.
Along the way, I noticed a common challenge among aspiring braiders. Many were eager to learn, but struggled with the foundations that create confidence, clean results, and consistency. Questions around clean parting, fixing loose braids, product selection, and client readiness came up again and again.
Fab Braiders Academy was created in response to that need.
Everything taught within the Academy is rooted in real client experience, practical application, and the professional standards that have shaped Fab Xtensions.
Beyond the studio, my work has included training within theatre production, contributions to screen and stage projects, cultural braiding workshops, and educational experiences designed to make professional braiding more accessible. My work has been connected to productions including Hamilton Musical and Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2, as well as corporate workshops delivered for organisations such as LinkedIn.
My goal is simple: to help aspiring and developing braiders build confidence, strengthen their technique, and develop skills they can be proud of.
Because confidence doesn't come from learning more styles. It comes from understanding the fundamentals, refining your technique, and reaching the point where you trust your own work.
Learning doesn't stop when a training session ends.
Inside the Fab Braiders Hub, you will find a growing collection of tools, guides and practical resources designed to support your progress long after training is over.
