What to expect in-studio
Your appointment begins with a short consultation so the loctician can assess length, thickness and density. Men’s Comb Twists are created on natural hair; the standard session is quoted at 120 minutes and starts at $120. Final price may increase for longer, thicker, or very dense hair once the scope is confirmed.
Arrive with hair clean, detangled, and free of product to keep the appointment on schedule. Studio 818 sits on the Ventura Boulevard corridor in Sherman Oaks, which makes quick after-work or weekend times practical for commuters using US-101 and nearby Ventura Boulevard.
How comb twists are created
Comb twists are formed by sectioning hair and twisting the natural strands to create defined, rope-like twists. The stylist chooses parting size and twist thickness to match your desired look, and tension is adjusted to balance longevity and scalp comfort without altering the hair's natural texture.
Hair length, thickness and density are the main factors that shape the twists and the time required. Larger sections create chunkier twists and take less time per area, while very dense or long hair increases both time and material needs, which can affect the final price.
Maintenance and local factors
Aftercare varies with activity and climate. Sherman Oaks' Mediterranean weather—warm, dry summers and mild wetter winters—affects scalp perspiration and how often twists need attention. Commuter lifestyles or frequent exercise will typically require more frequent gentle upkeep compared with a mostly sedentary schedule.
For smooth appointments and predictable results, come product-free and detangled. Studio 818's location near Sherman Oaks Galleria and Sepulveda Basin makes scheduling around errands or outdoor plans convenient, and the team will advise on realistic refresh timelines based on your daily routine.
