Twist Salon

A silver journey worth celebrating! 🤍

We’ve watched Maria’s natural gray grow in, at each visit. And with this final haircut, she’s officially reached her goal!

No more growing out. Just gorgeous, natural silver curls.

Sometimes the most beautiful transformation is embracing what’s naturally yours. 🧡

This is why we cut curls visually.

The top photo was technically cut perfectly even—but her curls didn’t dry evenly. The way her curls shrink in the back created a hard, square line that almost made it look like hair was missing.

So we stopped looking at the “perfect” haircut and started looking at her curls.

We went back in dry and visually shaped each area based on how her curls naturally live, shrink and fall.

The result? A softer, rounded shape that looks balanced when she wears her hair the way she actually wears it. 🧡

Sometimes we do things in reverse. 🔄🧡

For this beauty, we discovered her curls are actually easier to shape once they’re perfectly set.

So instead of cut → style, we did:
✨ Highlights
✨ The perfect curl set
✨ THEN the Twist Cut

Once we could see exactly where every curl wanted to live, I could shape the cut around her finished curls.

Because it’s not about following a formula—it’s about paying attention to what YOUR hair needs.

And look at her. 😍 Those curls. That shape. That color.

I invested in some spiral lights… and I'm in love.

Never afraid of a little change around here.

We're keeping the fall vibes for now but slowly rolling into the season of lights. Peri

I've always wanted Twist to feel warm, welcoming, and a little special the minute you walk through the door.

After going on 15 years as a business owner in Alameda, I realized it was probably time to update my Yelp page. 😂

Reading my old bio made me realize just how much life has happened alongside Twist.

My girls grew up at Twist. They went from hanging around the salon to becoming these amazing young women. Now I’m the mom of a college graduate living her life in Southern California and a special-needs young adult who loves being part of the AUSD Adult Program.

I’m coming up on 20 years married to the love of my life. I’ve been doing hair since 1988, and somehow I’m still just as excited about curls, color, learning, and growing as I’ve ever been.

And through all of it, my mom is still my rock. I talk to her at least twice a day, see her every week, and know how lucky I am to still have that relationship with her.

I feel old sometimes, but mostly I feel wise. 😂 And very grateful.

Twist didn’t just grow alongside my family. In so many ways, it became part of our family. Looking through these photos reminds me just how much life has happened inside these walls.

Almost 15 years later, I’m still here, still growing, still learning, and still doing what I love. 🧡
