What the service involves
Crochet braid installation attaches extension hair to a prepared base to create a fuller, styled look. At Studio 818 we schedule the appointment for 150 MINUTES and prices start at $200. Individual perimeter braids, smaller sections, or more complex installations can increase cost, so send a reference photo before booking to confirm time and pricing.
The final shape and density depend on the hair type, color, and how sections are sized during installation. Sherman Oaks clients often book after work or on weekends, so we plan appointments around commuting from the US-101 and Ventura Boulevard corridor. Sending a clear style photo ahead helps set realistic expectations for volume and coverage.
Choosing hair and color
Hair is not included with crochet braid installation. Contact us before buying any extensions so we can confirm the correct type, color, and quantity required for your chosen style. If you prefer the studio to purchase the hair, the full hair cost plus a $25 shopping fee must be paid before purchase. Hair payments become nonrefundable after we buy them.
Always send your desired style photo before booking so we can confirm total cost and any additional time required. Prices start at $200; perimeter braids, smaller sectioning, or more complex installations may raise the final price. We confirm exact quantities if you ask Studio 818 to purchase hair on your behalf.
Appointment logistics and timing
Appointments for crochet braids are scheduled for 150 MINUTES. We offer after-work slots for commuters using US-101 or Ventura Boulevard, plus weekend and mid-morning times that fit school drop-offs and professional schedules. Booking with a clear photo lets us reserve the correct amount of time so your appointment aligns with local traffic and timing needs.
Our Sherman Oaks studio sits on the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor near Sherman Oaks Village and the Galleria, making it convenient to combine an appointment with errands or park visits at Sepulveda Basin. We serve Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Toluca Lake, and Tarzana—clients often coordinate bookings with their commute to the Westside or downtown.
