What this twist involves
The Boho Knotless Sénégalais Twist is a knotless installation that delivers medium waist length twists with a softer, less-tensioned base. This service includes the braiding hair, so the stylist controls texture and consistency. Expect a full appointment lasting 450 minutes and priced at $380; the time covers parting, installation and finishing details needed for a clean, uniform result.
Color accents and multi-color blends are available as part of the included hair options; complex color work can add time and additional charges depending on the blend. The installation method and the amount of added color affect weight, movement and how the twists settle, so decisions about highlights should be made before the appointment begins to set expectations.
Preparing for your appointment
To get the best result, arrive with hair clean, blow-dried, product-free and fully detangled. The salon provides a 15-minute grace period; if hair requires extra detangling on arrival, an additional service fee may be charged. Arriving prepped speeds the process and protects the integrity of the twist installation during the 450-minute service.
Appointments are held to a calm, professional environment: no extra guests are allowed, and the remaining balance is due at the appointment via cash, Zelle or Cash App. Clients from nearby neighborhoods often plan these longer appointments around work, school or childcare to avoid rushed arrivals and respect the salon’s scheduling standards.
Aftercare and longevity factors
Local climate and daily routines influence how long twists look fresh: Chicago’s hot humid summers and cold, dry winters affect frizz and moisture retention differently. Commuting by car or bus, exposure to humidity or dry indoor heat, and how you sleep on the style will change its appearance over weeks, so consider local weather and routines when planning for events or trips.
Basic maintenance—protective nighttime habits, light leave-in products applied at roots, and gentle handling—helps preserve the shape and reduce frizz. Because the service includes hair and a defined installation process, consistency comes from following the stylist’s aftercare guidance and scheduling services around your family and work commitments so the style lasts according to your needs.
