Description

Do you know the new sneaker trend?! Vintage look-for sneakers are in, and Alex will show you how to stain your kicks! Alex will demonstrate an example of a shoe he has done himself and after do a live pair together with all attendees. A fun way for everyone to work together and meet other creatives as well. This event is for all creatives! The workshop will require you to bring your sneakers: - They must be new or in like-new condition so the stainers can apply correctly to the shoe's surface. - Only surfaces that are white are ideal for staining. - Shoe stainers, alcohol swabs, gloves, rags, and sandpaper are included with admission. * Every attendee assumes responsilbity for their own shos* Alex Vivar was born and raised in the “Capitol of the World,” Manhattan, NY. He moved to the Hudson Valley at the age of 14, leaving his barber behind. With no barber in the area to trust with his hair, Alex took it upon himself to recreate his NYC fade. While away at college, Alex gained more experience being the ”barber on campus.” He completed his Barber Apprentice in that time and was then nicknamed “Alex The Great” by his schoolmates. Alex enjoys doing modern haircuts and making the haircuts low maintenance and custom to each client. He especially loves teaching clients how to use the right products and tools to style their hair.
