What the style involves
Marley / Kinky Twists — Large are a shoulder-length installation made by adding textured extension hair to your natural hair in larger, defined sections. This service is sold without hair included — please contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type and quantity. Starting price for this service is $250 and the appointment time is 270 minutes.
The final look and weight depend on the extension hair you bring and your natural hair density. Longer lengths are available as add-ons (bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, butt +$150). Price may increase for extra-thick hair, so confirming fiber type and how much to purchase prevents delays on the day of your appointment.
Scheduling and location considerations
Appointments require a full session of 270 minutes, so plan your day accordingly. Studio 818 is on the Ventura Boulevard commercial corridor in Sherman Oaks, convenient for commuters coming off the US-101. We commonly book quick after-work slots for westbound commuters and weekend or mid-morning times that fit school drop-offs and professional schedules.
Our location sits near Sherman Oaks Galleria and Sepulveda Basin, making it easy to combine an appointment with errands, shopping, or outdoor time at the parks. We also service nearby neighborhoods — Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Toluca Lake, and Tarzana — so factor travel time during rush hours when you schedule.
What shapes care and results
How long the style looks fresh and how it feels daily depend on installation density, the extension fiber you choose, and how you care for the twists. Because Sherman Oaks has a Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters, outdoor activity and local humidity can influence how the style settles over time, so tell us about your routine when you book.
Maintenance plans vary by client. Some people return for adjustments or tightening depending on wear and personal preference. Since hair is not included with this service, confirming the correct hair type and quantity with us ahead of time ensures the stylist can deliver the planned volume and shape during your 270-minute appointment.
