How Loc Extensions (Full Head) Work in Sherman Oaks Studio 818

$$MultiPurposeText$$

A practical overview of what a full-head loc extension appointment includes and how final price and timing are determined.

What the installation involves

Loc Extensions (Full Head) at Studio 818 in Sherman Oaks are applied to build a full head of locs using client-supplied hair — hair is not included. Pricing starts at $1200 and the standard appointment time is 480 MINUTES. Final price is confirmed before the appointment following a photo consultation and can increase for extra length, high density, small locs, high loc count, buildup, repairs, or added styling.

During the 480 MINUTES appointment you'll review parting size, approximate density and target length based on your photos. Requests for smaller locs, higher loc counts, or extra-long lengths require more material and time, so those choices change both the time breakdown and the final price confirmed during the pre-appointment consultation.

How size and density matter

Parting size and loc diameter determine how many individual locs will be installed. Smaller parts and smaller-diameter locs increase the loc count and installation time; higher density styles need more hair and can increase material and labor costs. We confirm adjustments to the starting price based on these measurable choices.

If your existing scalp or hair has buildup or requires repairs before installation, that work affects how we approach attachment and may add steps to the appointment. Clients from nearby neighborhoods often plan for this when scheduling, choosing mid-morning or weekend slots that match local commuting and family routines.

Preparing for and maintaining extensions

A photo consultation before booking lets us confirm the final price and plan. Bring clear photos of your hairline, desired length and density; also bring the hair you want installed because hair is not included. Final arrangements, including any price increases for added services, are confirmed before we set the appointment.

After installation, follow-up maintenance varies by wear and activity. Sherman Oaks' Mediterranean climate — warm, dry summers with mild winters — means routine cleansing and protective nighttime care can keep locs tidy between touch-ups. Schedule maintenance appointments to suit commuter hours near Ventura Boulevard or the US-101 for convenience.

Before you book, start with a photo consultation so we can confirm the exact price and necessary time. Bring the hair you plan to use, clear photos, and any notes about preferred loc diameter or parting patterns.

Appointments are 480 MINUTES for a full head; many local clients book around commuting windows near Ventura Boulevard or on weekend mid-mornings. Final pricing is confirmed in advance so you can plan transportation and timing accordingly.
