Service length and pricing
Studio 818 offers a shoulder-length Marley / Kinky Twists — Small service priced starting at $375 and scheduled for 450 minutes. Hair is not included; please contact us before buying hair so we can confirm the correct type and quantity. Longer lengths are available as add-ons: bra-strap +$40, waist +$80, butt +$150. Price may increase for extra-thick hair.
Because small Marley and kinky twists use finer sectioning and more individual pieces, expect a focused installation session. The 450-minute appointment accommodates detailed work and client comfort breaks, but very thick natural hair or unusually dense extensions can extend time and affect cost. We plan around local commuting patterns and can offer evening or weekend slots for Sherman Oaks clients.
What to expect during installation
Small Marley and kinky twists create many narrow, shoulder-length twists that prioritize neat parting, consistent tension, and an even overall silhouette. Expect your stylist to discuss density, direction, and edge choices before starting so the finished look aligns with your lifestyle and face shape. Because hair is not supplied, final thickness and weight depend on the extensions you bring and the amount we confirm together.
Small-sized twists take longer per inch of hair because of the number of individual sections. That trade-off yields refined texture and more defined parting but requires the 450-minute booking to complete carefully. If you commute on the US-101 or plan errands along Ventura Boulevard after your appointment, allow extra travel time; we schedule with Sherman Oaks routines in mind.
Aftercare and local climate
After installation, maintain your twists with gentle nightly protection and minimal manipulation to extend wear. In Sherman Oaks' Mediterranean climate, warm dry summers make outdoor activities easy, but cooler wetter months can affect drying time after cleansing. We recommend discussing product choices and a routine during your appointment so aftercare fits your schedule and the local weather.
Plan follow-up visits if you want repairs, adjustments, or fresher parting; small twists show new growth at varying rates depending on your natural texture. Because appointments take 450 minutes, book in advance for weekend or post-work slots near Ventura Boulevard and the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Bring any purchased hair and contact us before purchase so we verify type and quantity.
