Premium Braids & Twists in Nepean

At Slayed by Davia, braids & twists in Nepean are not two items on a long service list. They are the core of what we do, and we do them well.

Every braid and twist service at our studio is built around one principle: your natural hair leaves healthier than it arrived. We work with all textures and size, length, and style every install to suit your specific hair goals.

Knotless, Boho French curl & Boro Boro braids

Senegalese, Marley, Passion & Spring twists

Luxury Twist styles

Twists and braids serve the same protective purpose but feel completely different to wear. Twists are lighter, softer on the scalp, and carry a natural, lived-in texture that braids do not. We have refined our twist services around five distinct styles, each one chosen because it delivers something different in terms of finish, texture, and wear experience. Here is what that looks like up close.

Senegalese twists

Available in small, medium, and large sizes across shoulder, mid-back, and waist lengths.

Marley twists

Available in small, medium, and large sizes across shoulder, mid-back, and waist lengths.

Braids vs Twists: Which style is right for your hair?

Clients ask this question more than almost any other and the honest answer is that it depends on three things: your scalp sensitivity, your lifestyle, and how long you want the style to last.

	Braids	Twists
Wear Time	6 – 8 weeks	4 – 6 weeks
Tension Level	Low to moderate	Very low
Texture	Crisp, structured	Soft, natural
Best For	Maximum longevity	Scalp comfort, lighter feel
Maintenance	Satin scarf, scalp oil	Satin scarf, avoid manipulation

Pro Tip

If your scalp runs sensitive or you are transitioning from a previous style, twists are the more comfortable starting point. If you want the longest possible wear and the sharpest finish, braids hold their structure better over time.
