How Jumbo Box Braids Are Built in Sherman Oaks

$$MultiPurposeText$$

An honest overview of how our shoulder-length jumbo box braids are installed, priced, and prepared for Studio 818 appointments.

How Jumbo Box Braids Work

Jumbo box braids use larger hair sections to create chunkier, shoulder-length braids and typically install faster than smaller-part styles. At Studio 818 in Sherman Oaks this shoulder-length service is scheduled for 210 minutes and is priced Starting at $170. Hair is not included; the final look depends on hair amount, texture, and any length add-ons.

The thicker sections produce a bold visual and fewer individual parts, which affects how the style sits and how long it takes to remove. Optional add-ons change length and cost: bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, butt +$150, and curly/boho styling +$60. Hair purchase cost is separate and may alter the outcome.

Preparing for your appointment

Please contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type, color, and quantity for jumbo box braids. If you want Studio 818 to purchase hair, the full hair cost plus a $25 shopping fee must be paid before purchase, and hair payments are nonrefundable after purchase. Hair is not included with the service.

Studio 818 sits on the Ventura Boulevard corridor in Sherman Oaks and schedules 210-minute appointments that fit after-work and weekend windows for commuters and families. Bring reference photos and, if you have extra-thick hair, send a photo ahead so we can confirm whether additional hair or fees are needed to achieve the style.
