How Partial Loc Extensions Work
Partial loc extensions add length or volume only where you need it, blending new pieces with your existing locs. Hair is not included in the listed starting price of $650, and a photo consultation is used to assess your current locs and determine scope before confirming final costs.
A photo consultation clarifies where extensions are placed and whether repairs or added styling are needed. The service is scheduled as a single appointment; the listed duration for the service is 330 MINUTES. Final pricing may change based on the consultation findings, including adjustments for length, density, or repair work.
Factors That Shape Final Price
The starting price of $650 is for standard length and density only. Final cost is confirmed before the appointment after a photo consultation and can increase for extra length, high density, very small locs, a high loc count, visible buildup or required repairs, or when additional styling is requested.
Because each head presents different needs, the photo consultation helps identify how many extension pieces are needed and whether any prep or repair increases labor. Clients should expect clear pricing before booking; Studio 818 confirms the final total so commuters and busy professionals can plan their visit with confidence.
Appointment Timing and Local Convenience
Studio 818 is located in the Sherman Oaks Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor and times appointments to suit local commuters exiting or using US-101 and Ventura Boulevard. The 330 MINUTES appointment length accommodates fitting and blending; clients often book after work or on weekends to align with local travel patterns and family schedules.
Nearby landmarks like the Sherman Oaks Galleria and Sepulveda Basin make the studio convenient for quick errands before or after appointments. The photo consultation ahead of time reduces in-chair guesswork, so the actual appointment focuses on execution and finishing touches rather than pricing decisions.
