How the crochet service works
Human-hair crochet at Studio 818 installs client-supplied human hair into a finished protective style using the crochet approach. Hair is not included; please contact us before purchasing hair so we can confirm the correct texture, quantity, and color. That confirmation step helps avoid buying the wrong material and reduces delays on the day of service.
The final look is shaped by your hair choice, requested fullness, length, and finishing detail; extra fullness, length, or detailed finishing may increase the price. Our installation is listed as Starting at $300 and typical appointments are scheduled for 240 minutes. We’ll review options and any adjustments during the pre-service consult so you know cost and time expectations.
Preparing for your crochet appointment
Before you buy hair, contact Studio 818 so we can confirm texture, quantity, and color. Because hair is not included, early confirmation avoids mismatched textures or insufficient bundles and reduces the chance of rescheduling. We’ll advise whether your planned length and texture suit the chosen style and whether additional hair will be needed for the desired fullness.
Our Sherman Oaks location on Ventura Boulevard is convenient for commuters exiting US-101 and for weekday evening or weekend mid-morning schedules. Bookings can be timed around visits to Sherman Oaks Galleria or trips to Sepulveda Basin parks. Tell us your preferred arrival window so we can fit the 240 minutes into your day with minimal disruption.
Aftercare and maintenance expectations
Longevity and appearance depend on the hair used, the amount of fullness, and the finishing detail you choose. Regular upkeep appointments are common for protective styles, and more detailed finishing can improve the immediate look while increasing cost. We’ll explain realistic maintenance planning during consultation so you can match upkeep to your lifestyle and schedule.
Sherman Oaks’ Mediterranean climate — warm, dry summers and mild winters — influences styling choices; lighter, breathable finishes often suit local conditions. Many clients who commute via Ventura Boulevard or US-101 prefer styles that require minimal daily adjustment. We won’t promise specific outcomes, but we will outline how climate and routine shape care needs for your selected hair and finish.
