Kink Hair opened in 2010 and is operated by Kink Hair, LLC. Owner Josh Nichols, listed on the site as Headmaster, leads the team. The salon describes itself as offering the full range, from cuts and color to extensions and perms, for all hair types.
The space is described as welcoming, safe and inclusive for every guest. The stated mission centers on embracing change and encouraging self-expression through education, and the team says it keeps learning and shares what it knows with one another and with the community.
Color is a major part of the menu: balayage (from $165), partial and full foils, regrowth color, color with pull-through ends, semi-permanent grey blending, and gloss or toner. Smoothing options include a full Brazilian treatment, a sensitive-formula version and an express blowout version. Corrective color, fashion color and hair extensions are priced after a consultation.
Barbering and cutting run alongside, with beard trims, deluxe shaves, barbering cuts, clipper cuts, dry and scissor cuts, curly cuts and children's haircuts for ages 10 and under. Makeup, temporary lashes and facial waxing round out the menu. Bride, groom and wedding party packages are arranged by inquiry.
Booking is online and requires an email address on file with the salon; the team can explain how to sign up. Clients are asked to call at least 24 hours ahead to cancel or reschedule, and cancellations made within 24 hours can be charged up to the full value of the services booked. Hours are Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Sundays closed. Metered street parking is around the salon, and a paid public garage is at 8000 Maryland Ave.
Built around education: the team keeps learning, shares knowledge internally and with the community, and encourages guests to try new looks and express themselves.
