What the appointment includes
At a practical level the Detox + Retwist Combo combines a focused detox of the scalp and locs with a root retwist to tidy and reset the direction of new growth. Appointments are timed for thorough attention to the roots and shaft; the standard session length is 150 MINUTES, which accommodates both processes without rushing.
Starting price is for standard length and density. Final price is confirmed before the appointment after a photo consultation and may increase for extra length, high density, small locs, high loc count, buildup, repairs, or added styling. Because each of those factors changes the time and materials required, we confirm the final quote once we review photos and plan the session.
Scheduling and local considerations
Studio 818’s Sherman Oaks location on Ventura Boulevard and proximity to the US‑101 make it practical for quick after‑work appointments and for commuters. Clients often choose late afternoons or weekend mid‑mornings to fit school drop‑offs, errands, or visits to Sherman Oaks Galleria and the Sepulveda Basin recreational areas.
The region’s Mediterranean climate — warm dry summers and milder wet winters — influences buildup and drying times. Seasonal dust, outdoor activity, and product use can change how much detoxing is needed, so timing and appointment length may be adjusted based on those local factors.
Pricing, timing, and photo consult
The published starting price for this service is $225 and the standard appointment length is 150 MINUTES. Those figures apply to standard length and density; the combination of detox and retwist is scheduled to allow assessment, photo review, detoxing, root work, and finishing without overlapping other clients.
Before booking, send clear photos for the required consultation so we can confirm the final price and time. On appointment day expect a full 150 MINUTES block reserved for your service; bringing reference photos and arriving on time helps us complete both detoxing and root maintenance within the session.
