What the service involves
Jumbo XL 26" (Tailbone length) are extra-large individual braids installed to reach the tailbone for a bold, dramatic silhouette. The salon schedules a full 210 MINUTES for each appointment to allow careful sectioning and consistent braid size. Clients appreciate pre-appointment communication that addresses concerns and sets expectations before arrival.
Long, very large braids require more time at installation and deliberate parting to achieve an even result. The scale of this length changes how the hair sits and moves; expect a statement look that can be styled for everyday wear or special events around Hollywood and the Bowl.
Preparation and consultation
A short consultation before your appointment helps the stylist understand desired thickness, parting and any coverage needs. Many clients value discussion of concerns — for example, using braids to conceal thinning areas — so we prioritize communication ahead of time and on the day of service to ensure you feel informed and comfortable.
Salon Daba’s Hollywood (La Brea corridor) location accommodates quick pre- or post-commute bookings via the Hollywood/Highland Metro and nearby buses, plus evening and weekend appointments for entertainment professionals. Because the service uses a 210 MINUTES appointment block, plan your travel and timing accordingly.
Styling, maintenance, and longevity
Tailbone-length jumbo braids are a high-impact style that benefits from simple maintenance: gentle scalp care, careful nighttime protection and occasional touch-ups. The Mediterranean climate in Los Angeles—warm, dry summers and mild, wetter winters—means your braids will generally hold well outdoors, but you should plan maintenance around humidity and frequent event schedules.
This style is popular in busiest months (Jun, Jul, Dec) for vacations and holiday events, so book early for those periods. The dramatic length makes it ideal for shows and photo-ready appearances, but it also requires a commitment to upkeep and occasional in-salon check-ins to preserve neatness.
