Learn how our gentle braiding process works, what to send before booking, and how scheduling and pricing are confirmed.

What this service includes

Kids braids at Studio 818 are gentle, child-focused braiding appointments performed in our Sherman Oaks location. Hair is not included in the quoted price, and we style to each child's comfort and scalp sensitivity. We prioritize gentle handling and shorter session pacing when needed so children remain calm throughout the process.

Please send a style photo before booking so we can confirm the total cost and any extra time required. Our starting price is $110 and typical appointments are 150 MINUTES. We offer quick after-work and weekend slots that fit school drop-offs and commuter schedules along Ventura Boulevard and the US‑101 corridor near Sherman Oaks.

How we prepare and protect

Our braiders work in small sections and use gentle tension to avoid pulling sensitive scalps. Because children have different tolerance, we balance neatness with comfort: tighter tension can hold longer but may be uncomfortable, while a softer tension prioritizes immediate comfort over longevity. Parents are consulted during styling so the child's needs shape the final choice.

Because Sherman Oaks has a Mediterranean climate and many outdoor activities, we consider clients' upcoming plans when creating a style. If you'll be visiting Sepulveda Basin parks or the Sherman Oaks Galleria after the appointment, tell us so we can adjust timing and finishing touches to suit outdoor plans and transit schedules for families using the Metro G Line or driving via US‑101.

Booking, photos and timing

To book, send a clear style photo so we can confirm time and price before you reserve. Hair is not included in the service charge and any extensions must be discussed in advance. We serve Sherman Oaks and nearby neighborhoods — Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Toluca Lake and Tarzana — with options for flexible appointment times.

Typical sessions run 150 MINUTES and start at $110; we confirm total after reviewing your photo. Plan arrival a few minutes early to check in. Short-notice commuters using Ventura Boulevard and US‑101 often prefer our after-work or weekend slots, so tell us which times fit your school or commute schedule.

Send your style photo before booking so we can confirm the total and make any timing adjustments. Remember: starting price is $110, appointments are 150 MINUTES, and hair is not included. Early photo review helps us give an accurate estimate and reserve the right length of time.
