What the style involves
Flip-Over Fulani / Tribal Braids combine cornrow foundations with decorative braided arcs and accent braids to create a sculpted pattern across the scalp. At Studio 818 the standard offering is shoulder-length; hair is not included. Before purchasing extensions you must contact us so we can confirm the correct type and quantity to achieve the chosen pattern and density.
The finished look is shaped by parting size, braid thickness, placement and extension density. Because those choices alter both visual impact and appointment time, final price and the braid appearance vary by design, braid size and how much extension hair is used. Expect decisions about tension and edge styling to be made during consultation so the outcome matches your preferences.
Length and pricing choices
This shoulder-length service starts at $280 and covers the basic flip-over Fulani / tribal pattern. Longer lengths are available as add-ons: bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, butt +$150. These add-ons change the quantity of hair needed and can raise the total price, so the starting figure is a baseline rather than a guaranteed final cost for every design.
Hair is not included in the listed price. Because extension type and amount directly affect the finished weight and look, we require clients to contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type and quantity. The stylist will also review design choices that influence price, such as smaller braids, extra accents, or higher hair density.
Booking and appointment logistics
Appointments are scheduled at our Sherman Oaks studio on Ventura Boulevard, convenient for commuters exiting US-101 and customers visiting the Sherman Oaks Galleria or Sepulveda Basin. The service duration is 330 minutes; plan your travel and daily schedule accordingly. We serve nearby neighborhoods including Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Toluca Lake and Tarzana for clients who need local availability.
We offer weekday evenings and weekend or mid-morning slots that fit school drop-offs and professional schedules, but the full time block is required due to the technique’s detail work. Bring reference photos and contact us about hair before purchasing extensions; that helps ensure your appointment proceeds smoothly and your chosen design is achievable within the booked time.
