What the Retie Includes
Microloc reties focus on securing new growth at the base of an existing microloc set while preserving matured locs. During a maintenance appointment we assess loc count, diameter, length, the established retie pattern and any repairs required. Pricing starts at $345 and appointments are scheduled for 240 minutes to allow careful, measured work.
The final result depends on amount of new growth, hair density and the original retie pattern. Significant repairs or replacement of several locs increase time and cost; these needs are identified during the consultation. We confirm a final quote and the appointment time before you book to avoid surprises.
Photo Consultation and Quote
A required photo consultation lets us confirm loc count, diameter and length, the existing retie pattern, new growth and any repairs needed. Send clear photos so we can evaluate how much of the service will be routine maintenance versus repair, then we provide a final quote and confirm an appropriate 240-minute appointment slot.
We always confirm the final quote and appointment time before you book. That confirmation prevents mismatched expectations about pricing or duration and helps plan travel from nearby areas like Encino, Studio City or commuters using US-101 and Ventura Boulevard.
Scheduling and Local Logistics
Studio 818 Locs & Braids is located in Sherman Oaks along the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor, offering appointment times that suit commuters and families. We accommodate quick after-work bookings for drivers exiting US-101, plus weekend and mid-morning slots that fit school drop-offs or visits to Sepulveda Basin and Sherman Oaks Galleria.
Local climate—warm, dry summers and mild winters—affects daily styling needs and may influence how often new growth needs attention. If you plan outdoor activities around Sepulveda's parks or nearby shopping, we recommend confirming your appointment time so maintenance work and travel align with your day.
