What the style involves
This hybrid service combines half cornrow-style, double-stranded twists across the front of the head with individual, loose double-stranded twists in the back. The appointment includes added hair so your stylist can create consistent twist size and fullness, and a nourishing cleanse plus deep conditioning are performed as part of the session.
Because the front is secured in a cornrow-like pattern and the back is left as individual twists, the result balances a sleek hairline with softer texture behind. Tell your stylist about tangles up front or in the crown: if excessive detangling is required, that will be added to your appointment so we can protect hair integrity.
Appointment process and timing
Book this service for 195 minutes; pricing is listed as Starting at $355. That time covers the consultation, the nourishing cleanse and deep conditioner, and the installation with added hair. Note that an extra service will be required and charged if excessive detangling is necessary prior to installing twists.
Studio Chique is located in Langdon, Washington, with easy access for commuters using Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood and Brookland-CUA Metro stations. We offer flexible early-morning and evening booking options to accommodate parents and shift workers who need appointments outside standard business hours.
Care and local considerations
Local climate and lifestyle affect how you choose this style: Washington’s humid summers can influence texture and frizz, while cooler seasons may keep twists neater. Many clients who commute or juggle family schedules find the hybrid approach gives a controlled front hairline with looser, lower-maintenance twists in back, but individual results depend on hair type and daily routine.
If you plan a weekend visit to the U.S. National Arboretum or Union Market, consider pairing this service with a self-care package before or after your outing. Also remember to mention any severe tangling before booking so we can add the appropriate detangling time and avoid unexpected delays.
