Teaching a paint and sip at XtraSuite Salon Studios is a unique and rewarding experience

At XtraSuite Salon Studios, we work with local artists to not only promote the event but the artists, too.

When you teach a paint and sip at our studio, you have the opportunity to:

• Expand your audience and build your brand
• Teach in a relaxing environment right in the heart of Ashland, Virginia
• Get promoted through our marketing and social media

Now for the 'M' in PMS Party!

Our paint and sip events come with added enjoyment! Not only do attendees get to unwind with painting and refreshments, but we add access to all of our therapeutic massage chairs; hence the 'M' in 'PMS' for paint, massage, and sip. And that has been such a hit with our attendees! In fact, when surveyed, 100% of attendees said that their time in the massage chair was one of the best activies of the event.

Don't forget to smile!

To top off all of the other fun activies during the event, we've added our selfie photo booth located in our green room that we call Studio 14.

Attendees can take photos with their finished project, with other attendees, and with the instructor if they so choose.
