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.
