What Island Twists Are
Small Island Twists at Studio 818 are a shoulder-length twist installation meant to create neat, small-diameter twists across the scalp. Hair for the style is not included; please contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type and quantity for the service.
Because the twists are small, the finished look is denser and takes longer to install; that density influences texture, parting visibility, and future maintenance needs. Expect styling choices and long-term upkeep to be shaped by your natural hair thickness and the hair chosen for the installation.
Scheduling and Arrival Times
The appointment is scheduled for 390 minutes for the shoulder-length small twists; this installation time allows for careful parting and consistent small twists across the head. The base price for this service starts at $375, and the timing is planned to fit commuters and local schedules in Sherman Oaks.
We recommend contacting the studio before you purchase hair so we can verify type, amount, and color; bringing the wrong hair can affect the result and may incur additional charges. Weekend and after-work appointment slots are available to match Ventura Boulevard commuter patterns and nearby US‑101 access.
Length Options and Pricing
The standard service delivers shoulder-length small twists. Longer lengths are available as add-ons: bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, butt +$150. Hair is not included in the $375 starting price; the final cost may increase for extra-thick hair or additional time required for very dense natural hair.
Price adjustments reflect the materials and extra installation time thicker hair needs; we will confirm any likely increases during consultation so there are no surprises. For Sherman Oaks clients balancing commutes, add-on lengths let you customize volume and fall without scheduling an entirely different service.
