How the stitch method works
Stitch cornrows are braided tightly along the scalp using your natural hair only—no extensions are added. The stylist interlocks each row closer to the scalp for a defined, low-profile look that follows the head shape. The technique depends on your hair's length, density, and texture to form the stitch.
Price starts at $250 for the listed six-braid service and the appointment duration is 30 MINUTES. Smaller sections, intricate design work, additional length needs, or very thick hair often require more time and may increase the total cost. Please send a clear photo ahead of booking to confirm pricing.
Styling choices and trade-offs
Your booking covers the listed six stitch braids at the starting price; changing to smaller, more numerous sections or adding detailed patterns can raise the price. Because no hair is added, the visual length and fullness come from your own hair. If you want extra length or volume, mention that when you send photos.
Complex designs or thicker sections may take longer than the 30 MINUTES listed, so we schedule accordingly. Studio 818 is on the Ventura Boulevard corridor in Sherman Oaks, convenient for commuters exiting US-101 and those seeking short after-work appointments. Send photos and preferred times so we can match availability to your schedule.
Prep and aftercare expectations
Please book a wash and blow-dry separately if you need your hair cleaned or stretched before braiding; the listed service does not include these extras. Sending a photo lets us see whether your hair length and texture will benefit from a pre-braid wash or blow-out, and lets us allocate the correct amount of time for your visit.
Aftercare varies with your hair type and the braid tension; maintenance needs will be explained during your appointment. We will advise on timelines for retouching and how to protect the stitch rows based on your lifestyle and routine, which is especially useful for Sherman Oaks clients who commute or spend time outdoors in warm, dry weather.
