We are The Kink Up, the world’s first 24-hour natural hair care studio.

Born from Culture. Rooted in Excellence. Crowned in Black Brilliance.

We are not just a salon.

We are a sanctuary. A revolution. A love letter to the coils, kinks, and locs that carry our history and shape our future.

At The Kink Up, your crown is honored, your story is centered, and your culture is celebrated, in every twist, every braid, every strand.

Our space is Blackity, Black, Black:

🎶 The sound? Hip hop, soul, and Afrobeats.

🎨 The walls? Murals of our icons and ancestors.

🌿 The scents? Black-owned botanicals.

💺 The service? Deeply immersive, trauma-informed, and culturally rooted.

We believe hair is not vanity it is ancestry, identity, and power.

Every appointment is a ritual. Every style is a reclamation. Every client is a walking testimony.

We are innovators. The first to keep the doors open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because our community deserves flexibility, luxury, and access on their terms.

We are educators. Teaching parents, uplifting stylists, and guiding generations in the care of natural hair.

We are culture keepers. From our marketing to our music to our methods, every touchpoint is unapologetically us.

This is The Kink Up.

Where kinks thrive.

Where culture lives.

Where crowns rise higher.

The world’s first. The culture’s finest.
