What the retwist does
A regular retwist concentrates on the base of each loc to manage new growth and maintain a clean part surface; the service is designed to refresh the foundation rather than recreate the entire style. Results depend on hair density, loc size and condition, so what you see immediately after will reflect those starting factors.
Because this is a maintenance service, the stylist evaluates buildup, weak areas that need repair, and any previous styling that could affect the result. Those observations guide decisions made during the appointment and can change the time required and final pricing compared with the standard starting assumption of length and density.
Pricing and photo consultation
Starting at $135, the listed price applies to locs of 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. The photo consult is the moment we identify variable factors.
The photo consultation helps the stylist estimate work and communicate any additional charges up front, which means you’ll know the confirmed price before you arrive. Scheduling is flexible to fit Sherman Oaks commuters and neighborhood routines, so the estimate also informs the appointment length and timing for your convenience.
What to expect at appointment
Plan for an appointment duration of 105 MINUTES for this service; that exact timing is our standard estimate but can extend if repairs, heavy buildup, or added styling are required. The stylist will assess each loc on arrival, confirm the photo consult notes, and proceed with the agreed scope so there are no surprise changes mid-service.
Studio 818 Locs & Braids sits in the Sherman Oaks Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor, so many clients book quick after-work slots or weekend mid-morning times that fit school drop-offs and commuting patterns. Local climate—warm, dry summers and mild winters—can influence scalp and loc condition, and the stylist may discuss simple care adjustments during the visit.
