Installation and timeline
A photo consultation confirms your starting quote and clarifies needs before the appointment. The booked session for a full head is scheduled for 330 MINUTES. The listed starting price is Starting at $650 for standard length and density; final cost is confirmed before the appointment based on your consultation.
During the appointment the stylist completes the full-head installation and any basic shaping or finishing agreed on in the consultation. Clients should expect the time block to be used for installation and finishing; more intricate shaping or added styling can extend the appointment and may change the final price.
Pricing factors and adjustments
Starting at $650 applies only to standard length and density. Final price may increase for extra length, high density, very small locs, high loc counts, visible product buildup, repairs to existing hair, or for added styling. Every price change is discussed and confirmed before the appointment after the photo consultation.
Smaller-size locs and higher loc counts demand more time and materials, which raises the price. Prep work such as removing buildup or repairing previously installed locs also adds labor. These are practical trade-offs: more customized or corrective work gives the exact look you want but requires a higher investment.
Scheduling and local logistics
Studio 818 is located along the Sherman Oaks Ventura Boulevard corridor near the Sherman Oaks Galleria and US-101, making after-work appointments convenient for commuters. The neighborhood supports car-oriented travel and flexible appointment windows, including weekend mid-morning slots that work around school drop-offs and professional schedules.
Because a full-head service occupies a substantial 330 MINUTES block, we recommend booking in advance and sending photos for the consultation so we can confirm final price and timing. Many clients arrange visits around local destinations like Sepulveda Basin parks or shopping at the Galleria for efficient use of their day.
