How Lemonade braids work at Studio 818 in Sherman Oaks

$$MultiPurposeText$$

A clear overview of process, timing, hair purchasing, and available length add-ons for shoulder-length Lemonade braids.

What Lemonade Braids Involve

Lemonade braids at Studio 818 are offered as a shoulder-length service; the quoted starting price is $220 and the session duration is 240 MINUTES. The appointment covers the stylist’s time and technique—hair is not included. Clients choose the finished length and style direction during consultation so the braiding pattern and parting suit their preferences.

Expect an installation process that focuses on neat sectioning and secure braiding to achieve the chosen shoulder-length look. Because Sherman Oaks clients often fit appointments around commuting or errands on Ventura Boulevard, we plan the session time to complete the full install within the allotted 240 minutes unless add-ons or unusual hair requirements extend it.

Booking, hair, and pricing

Hair is not included with the Lemonade braids base service. Please contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type, color, and quantity. If you prefer we purchase hair, the full hair cost plus a $25 shopping fee must be paid before we buy. Hair payments are nonrefundable after purchase; hair purchase cost is separate from the service price.

Optional length and styling add-ons are available: bra-strap length +$40, waist length +$80, butt length +$150, and curly/boho styling +$60. Extra-thick hair may increase total cost; send a clear photo in advance so we can confirm the final price before your appointment. The service starts at $220 and is scheduled for 240 MINUTES.

Appointment flow and timing

Appointments begin with a brief consultation to confirm parting, length, and whether you supplied hair or want us to purchase it. The installation itself is scheduled for 240 MINUTES; please arrive on time so we can complete the style within that window. If you selected add-ons or bring unusually thick hair, the appointment may require more time and an adjusted price.

Bring reference photos and any hair you’d like us to use, plus notes about products or allergies. If you live or commute near US-101 or Ventura Boulevard, we offer scheduling that fits quick after-work visits or mid-morning weekend bookings. Send a photo of very thick hair ahead of time so we can confirm materials and total cost before your appointment.

Before you purchase hair, contact Studio 818 so we can confirm the exact type, color, and quantity you need. If we buy the hair for you, pay the full hair cost and the $25 shopping fee before purchase; hair payments are nonrefundable after purchase.

Studio 818 is located on the Ventura Boulevard corridor in Sherman Oaks, convenient for commuters using US-101 and local bus connections. Plan for a 240 MINUTES appointment starting at $220; reach out to schedule a consultation or to send photos so we can finalize length and pricing beforehand.
