Lots of fun - It was so much fun. The teacher was fantastic and had a good sense of humor. He also helped everyone who ran into trouble with their hats and we were all able to complete something to our satisfaction.

Fabulous Hat-Making Experience - Our group, consisting of a 45-year-old couple and two 18-year-old girls, had an extraordinary experience crafting unique souvenir hats with Lady Gaga’s renowned hatmaker. This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. The hatmaker was not only incredibly talented but also engaging and patient, guiding us through each step of the hat-making process - in translated french! . We learned so much about the art and craftsmanship involved in creating these fabulous pieces. The atmosphere was creative and inspiring, making the experience even more enjoyable. Each of us walked away with a beautifully crafted hat that we will cherish as a special memento from our trip. This activity was a perfect blend of creativity, learning, and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a unique and stylish souvenir

So Much Fun - This was one of our favorite things we did in Paris. After this class we wanted to do all their other classes. If I can recommend anything it would be this!!! Run don’t walk!

Fun Class - Fun and fashionable. I'm not sure what the other reviews meant when they said she spoke no English. In our group, Mary the instructor spoke English just fine with us as well as French with the others. She gave us each the individual attention we needed, and my hat came out great. I got a couple of compliments the following day when I wore it as I went out.

Pricey but so fun - What a wonderful experience! My daughter and I had a fantastic time. The instructor only spoke French but used a translator ap, which we all know are not very accurate, and even comical. However with the help of a bilingual, fellow classmate we understood pretty well what we were asked to do. After making the tough decision of which color and style of hat we were going to make, we were given a wooden shape to use for our specific head size. Then we stretched, steamed and pulled our own hats. After making the hat we were able to choose items to decorate the hat with. I would caution the price of the event only covered the cost of a few add ons/decorative pieces. They had a wide variety of trinkets, feathers, charms, scarves which cost extra. They even had designer buttons (channel, YSL) for over $100 each!

Fun experience with a beautiful souvenir of Paris. - Such a fun experience. Hat maker did not speak English but had an Ipad that would translate everything he said. There was so many options of colors, fabrics, ribbons, and embellishments was hard to narrow it down. It is a long processes so make sure you plan accordingly. Does get really hot due to the equipment so my suggestion bring a mini fan or dress in layers if it's cold outside. Would do it again if I returned. Was a short walk from the metro station.

Fun Experience! - Even though we were the only ones in group that didn’t speak French, our teacher and the group made it work. Was really fun experience, however, when you go to add the decoration to your hat, only the ribbon and a feather included. All the buttons and pins you add are for a price. Other than that, I’d recommend this…hats came out cute!

Fun! - The class was a lot a fun. It was much longer than we expected. The teacher was great but didn’t know English. That made it harder and longer. But overall I would highly recommend the class it was fun and educational.
