What this style is
Small 26" (Tailbone length) knotless braids are individual, narrow braids taken to a tailbone length for a dramatic, full silhouette. The “small” size refers to the thinner sections used at the scalp and along the braid, producing denser coverage and visual volume compared with larger-braided options.
The knotless approach gives a softer start at the scalp and lets each braid flow without a bulky knot at the base. That gentle start and the extra length combine to create the long, glamorous look many clients request for vacations, events, or a striking everyday style.
Appointment flow and timing
Plan for a full-session installation: the listed duration is 570 MINUTES. Because this is a long, detailed install, clients often bring a packed lunch and expect to be seated for the majority of that time. The salon offers water; bringing snacks keeps you comfortable during the appointment.
You can speed the process by arriving with clean, blow-dried hair—this reduces prep time and helps the stylist move into the braid installation sooner. Salon Daba operates as a calm, focused space with efficient technicians who prioritize quality over frills, so expect steady, attentive work rather than luxury extras.
Location and local considerations
Salon Daba sits on the La Brea corridor in central Hollywood, convenient for clients using the Hollywood/Highland Metro station or nearby bus routes. Quick pre- or post-commute appointments are possible, and the salon accommodates evening and weekend bookings for entertainment and hospitality professionals working late.
Parking in the area can be limited and street time limits apply, so plan ahead. The salon’s proximity to Hollywood landmarks and venues makes it a practical choice for pre-show and event styling, especially during busy months when longer, dramatic braids are in high demand.
