How the knotless technique works
Knotless Senegalais twists are built by gradually adding braiding hair into each natural section so the root sits soft without a bulky starter knot. This approach spreads weight more evenly along the strand, which creates more natural movement and reduces concentrated tension at the scalp compared with a traditional knotted base.
Braiding hair is included with this service to ensure consistent texture and finish; medium middle-back length is supplied for predictable coverage. The listed price is $320 and the appointment duration is 390 minutes. Color customization such as highlights or multi-color blends is available but may incur additional charges depending on complexity.
What to bring and prepare
Please arrive with hair clean, blow-dried, product-free and fully detangled; this ensures the best install and reduces time spent on prep. If additional detangling or more intensive smoothing is required at check-in, an extra service fee may be assessed to cover the added work and protect the final result.
A 15-minute grace period applies; appointments cannot be held beyond this time, so plan your travel from Marquette Road, Pulaski Road or Cicero Avenue accordingly. To keep a calm, professional workspace, no extra guests are allowed. Remaining balance is due at the appointment and may be paid by cash, Zelle or Cash App.

The full install takes up to 390 minutes, so plan your day around the appointment—clients often schedule around school, work or childcare obligations.
