Welcome

Hi, I’m Ren Cherlet from Winnipeg, Manitoba — a professional makeup artist with 19 years of experience in TV and film, working in the industry since 2007.
 
Throughout my career, I’ve always believed that confidence, creativity, and connection go hand in hand. That belief is what inspired me to create Beers and Braids.
 
Beers and Braids was built to bring Dads together in a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment while teaching practical hair skills like ponytails, ballet buns, and braids.
 
What started as a simple idea quickly became something much bigger — a growing community focused on connection, quality time, and creating lasting memories.
 
Seeing Dads gain confidence has been the most rewarding part of this journey. Our events continue to sell out, and we’re excited to keep growing with many more classes and community events planned for the future.
 
At the heart of Beers and Braids is one simple goal: helping families connect, one braid at a time.

Happy Dads
