What the takedown involves
Removal is done strand by strand to lift box braids, knotless braids, Senegalese twists, passion twists, individual braids and crochet styles. Pricing starts at $80 and is based on braid size, length, density, buildup and time required; the final charge can increase up to $350 for very time‑intensive removals.
A standard appointment is scheduled for 90 minutes, but actual removal often takes longer when styles are dense or very long. Hair detangling and wash are not included unless you select those services separately; add‑ons can be discussed at booking so you leave with no buildup or loose ends.
Time and pricing factors
Size of braids, hair length, scalp and product buildup, and overall density determine how much time removal requires. Because time drives cost, we set a clear starting point at $80 and communicate when a session approaches higher tiers toward the $350 ceiling.
Estimates provided at booking reflect the information you share about braid type and length, but the final price may change when removal reveals unexpected tangling or buildup. We accommodate quick after‑work appointments for commuters and weekend or mid‑morning bookings for families in Sherman Oaks and nearby neighborhoods.
Preparing and what to expect
On arrival we confirm which protective style is being removed and review time expectations based on size and density. The stylist will section hair and remove pieces methodically; if you need detangling or a wash, select those add‑on services to include them in the appointment.
Our Sherman Oaks location sits on Ventura Boulevard’s commercial corridor near the Sherman Oaks Galleria and US‑101, making quick appointments practical for commuters. Bring your schedule details and style photos when booking so we can estimate time and recommend necessary add‑ons before your visit.
