What to expect during appointment
Large knotless braids at Studio 818 are a shoulder-length service priced starting at $220 and scheduled for 255 MINUTES. The quoted price covers styling only; hair is not included. Because installations are time-intensive, arriving on time ensures the stylist can complete your requested size and finishes within the scheduled window.
Please contact Studio 818 before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type, color, and quantity. If you prefer we purchase the hair, the full hair cost plus a $25 shopping fee must be paid before purchase. Hair payments are nonrefundable after purchase; we will confirm totals before buying.
Length and add-on options
The base service produces shoulder-length knotless braids; longer lengths are available as add-ons. Bra-strap length adds +$40, waist length adds +$80, and butt length adds +$150 to the service cost. These fees reflect the extra installation time and additional hair required; hair purchase cost itself is billed separately.
Curly or boho styling is offered as an optional finish for +$60. If you want studio staff to purchase hair, that cost is charged separately and is nonrefundable after purchase. Extra-thick or specialty hair may increase the hair cost; please send a photo so we can confirm total pricing before your appointment.
Local scheduling and travel
Studio 818 is located in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Boulevard, convenient for clients commuting from Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Toluca Lake, and Tarzana. The 255 MINUTES service length means you’ll want to schedule either after-work time off the freeway or a weekend or mid-morning slot to avoid rush-hour travel.
Many clients time appointments around errands and activities near the Sherman Oaks Galleria, Metro G Line stops, or visits to Sepulveda Basin parks and bike paths. Because the service takes several hours, plan transit and parking accordingly if you’re driving from the US-101 corridor and the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor.
