Consultation and Booking Process
A consultation is required before booking this microloc installation. During the consult we review hair history, desired length and density, parting size, installation method, and total loc count so we can confirm a final price. The listed starting price is $500 and the standard booking duration is 480 minutes; the consultation confirms whether those apply to your service.
After the consult we confirm the final price and the appointment length based on the factors above. Because Studio 818 is located on the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor in Sherman Oaks, we can often schedule appointments that fit commuter and after-work windows for clients coming off the US-101.
Factors That Shape Results
Your final price and the look of the microlocs depend on length, hair density, parting size, installation method, and total loc count. Smaller parting sizes increase the number of locs and typically add time and cost. Longer lengths and denser hair also require more time and resources, and the consultation quantifies those trade-offs.
The installation method you and the loctician choose affects texture, firmness, and the initial weight of each loc. During the consult we discuss aesthetic goals and practical trade-offs—how part size, total loc count, and method balance the desired look with appointment length and final price.
Day‑of Expectations and Logistics
The standard appointment duration listed for this service is 480 minutes; your final scheduled time will be set at consultation. The consult also outlines whether any pre-appointment preparation is recommended. Studio 818 times appointments to accommodate Sherman Oaks commuters, weekday after-work slots, and weekend bookings that align with local schedules.
Plan travel around Ventura Boulevard and nearby US-101 access; the studio’s location makes it convenient for clients coming from Encino, Studio City, Van Nuys, and surrounding neighborhoods. The consultation will confirm arrival time, parking or transit tips, and what to expect on the day of installation.
