What to expect during appointment
Appointments begin with a brief consultation to confirm size, parting pattern and styling preferences. Service details: Starting at $375. Duration: 420 MINUTES. Because this is a shoulder-length small knotless braid service, expect a multi-hour session that focuses on neat, uniform braids without added hair unless arranged in advance.
Hair is not included. We’ll discuss whether you’re bringing your own hair or want us to buy it. Small knotless braids are installed by hand, adding length and texture where requested; the process is methodical, so plan for the full appointment time and arrive with images or notes of the look you want.
Hair selection and purchases
Contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type, color, and quantity for your installation. If you want us to purchase the hair, the full hair cost plus a $25 shopping fee must be paid before purchase. Hair payments are nonrefundable after purchase, so confirmation first avoids mismatches or wasted expense.
Extra-thick hair may cost more. Please send a clear photo of your hair and the desired result so we can confirm the total cost before your appointment. We’ll verify whether additional bundles or a different hair type is required and communicate final pricing so you can decide with full information.
Length choices and add-ons
Base service covers shoulder-length small knotless braids; hair purchase cost is separate. Optional length extensions are available: bra-strap length +$40, waist length +$80, and butt length +$150. Curly or boho hair styling is an optional add-on for +$60. These add-ons change installation time and the quantity of hair required.
Studio 818 serves Sherman Oaks commuters and families, so we schedule with local routines in mind — quick after-work appointments for people using US-101 and Ventura Boulevard and weekend or mid-morning bookings that fit school drop-offs. Plan around travel time and allow the full appointment window so the stylist can finish to standard.
