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.
