What the style involves
Large kinky twist is a textured twist style created by sectioning hair into larger pieces and twisting those sections to form visible, chunky coils. We work with clients' natural hair and can add salon hair for extra length or volume; the salon can include hair for an additional $20. The half-head shaved option alters coverage and the overall silhouette.
Choosing this style is a practical trade-off: larger sections typically install faster and give a bold, low-maintenance look, while choices about length, added hair, and the half-head shaved finish change how you’ll style the hair between visits. We’ll discuss these decisions in consultation so the finished shape matches your daily routine and aesthetic goals.
Time, price, and add-ons
The listed price for Large kinky twist is $140 and appointments are scheduled for 210 MINUTES. That window covers consultation, sectioning, installation and finishing. If you want the salon to provide hair there is an additional $20 charge; note add-ons when booking so we can reserve materials and plan the layout.
Demand spikes in June, July, and December because this style installs quickly and suits summer travel and holiday plans. In Madison’s Greenway Cross area, early-morning, evening and weekend appointments fill first due to commuters and UW-linked schedules, so book early for peak months or request weekday slots when possible.
Care and local considerations
Madison’s four-season climate affects how twists wear: winter hats, snow and summer humidity all change how the style feels and settles. We don’t promise a fixed lifespan for any style, but during your appointment we’ll review straightforward maintenance steps tailored to your activity level, commute and local weather so you leave with realistic care expectations.
Our salon is located in Madison’s Greenway Cross area near East Towne and the Beltline, convenient for clients from Monona, Fitchburg, Middleton, Shorewood Hills, Maple Bluff and McFarland.
