The Twist Cut
A Curly Haircut Method That Actually Works
Dig into our Twist Cut philosophy, why dry cuts matter for curls, and our clean beauty approach.
The Problem with Traditional Wet Cuts
Have you ever left a salon in tears because your hair was cut way too short? At Twist Salon, we know exactly why traditional wet cuts fail textured hair.
When curly hair is wet, it stretches and loses its natural spring. If a stylist cuts it in this wet, stretched-out state, the hair shrinks up unpredictably as it dries. This often results in uneven layers, the dreaded "triangle" shape, or the loss of far more length than you ever intended.
We believe you shouldn't have to fight your texture, which is why we’ve completely changed how we approach the scissors.
Why Curly Hair Needs a Specialist
Enter the Twist Cut. We cut your hair completely dry and in its natural state. This specialized dry-cutting methodology allows us to see exactly how your unique waves, curls, or coils live and move.
By focusing on customized shaping with curl-by-curl precision, we sculpt a silhouette that fits your face and lifestyle flawlessly.
But your appointment isn't just a haircut, it’s an education. We pride ourselves on offering real-time curl coaching right in the chair, walking you through every step and sending you home with a personalized Curl Care Card so you can recreate your best wash day, every single day.
Why Clean Beauty Matters for Curl Health
Healthy curls require healthy ingredients. After years of research and a personal need for cleaner salon options, our founder, Tami, found the perfect match for our clients: Innersense Organic Beauty.
We proudly use their consciously formulated, non-toxic products and curl-safe professional color to deeply hydrate and protect your texture. Because curly hair is naturally more porous and prone to dryness, avoiding harsh chemicals is essential for preventing frizz and breakage.
By using only clean beauty products, we can support the long-term health of your curls while maintaining a safe, holistic environment in our Alameda salon.
