Service overview and sizing
French Curl Braids — Small is a shoulder-length braid service categorized under Knotless & Box Braids. This listing is for the small braid size and the quoted starting price is $375 with a scheduled duration of 450 minutes. Hair is not included in the service price, so plan for separate hair purchase and confirmation before your appointment.
Small braid size affects installation density and finish: tighter, smaller sections create more definition and take longer to install than larger braids. That increased time is reflected in the 450-minute booking, and clients with very thick hair should expect the possibility of a price increase for additional material and chair time.
Booking and hair requirements
Hair is not included with this service. Please contact Studio 818 before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type and quantity for shoulder-length, small-size French curl braids. Early confirmation helps ensure you bring compatible hair on the day of your appointment and prevents delays or mismatched textures during installation.
Longer lengths are available as add-ons: bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, and butt +$150. The starting price is $375 and may increase for extra-thick hair. When you book, tell us about your preferred length and natural hair density so we can reserve the right amount of appointment time and materials.
Styling outcome and maintenance
The finished look emphasizes defined small braids with curled or styled ends at shoulder length, offering versatile parting and updo options. The exact fall, curl shape, and density depend on the number of small braids chosen and the hair texture you bring, so discuss your visual goal during the pre-appointment confirmation.
Sherman Oaks’ Mediterranean climate and commuter lifestyle influence maintenance choices. We recommend planning appointment times around your commute and activities, and discussing upkeep during booking so aftercare fits your routine. Studio 818 can advise on suggested follow-up timing without promising a specific longevity outcome.
