What the style involves
Fulani braids combine defined scalp braids with narrower, face-framing braids to create a balanced pattern and distinct outline. At Studio 818 we size each braid for shoulder-length proportions, choosing parting, thickness, and edge placement that shape the finished silhouette while managing scalp tension and overall comfort during the service.
For clients this means a clear visual plan before we begin: placement and thickness choices determine how the style sits, how much natural hair is needed, and whether added hair is required. We discuss those details during booking so the final look matches your preferences and everyday routine in Sherman Oaks.
Timing and appointment logistics
This Fulani braids service is scheduled for 210 MINUTES and starts at $240. The session length covers consultation, parting, braiding, and finishing.
