About

Studio 818 Locs & Braids is a studio in suite G at 13719 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. The salon describes its focus as intricate locs and braids done with care and precision. It is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, on Sunday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and closed on Tuesdays.

Loc work is the core of the menu. Services include regular retwists for up to 80 locs, loc detox cleanses with a deep scalp cleanse and residue removal, retwist and basic style combinations, and interlocking or crochet maintenance. Starter locs are offered in comb coils, two-strand twists, and an interlocking method, and wash is included in those services. Instant locs are available in partial and full-head versions, and microloc installation is also offered. Loc maintenance prices marked with a plus sign are starting prices, and the final price is confirmed after a photo consultation.

Braid and twist services cover knotless and box braids in several sizes and lengths, along with cornrows, feed-ins, stitch braids, men's cornrows, twists, faux locs and crochet styles. Custom cornrow designs and Pop Smoke or Fulani patterns are accepted. Wigs, weaves and braid-downs with cornrows under a wig are also offered. Hair is usually not included in braid and twist prices. The salon can buy hair for a client, but the full hair cost and a $25 shopping fee must be paid before purchase, and hair payments are nonrefundable once made.

Most visits begin with a consultation, which covers hair history, scalp health, desired styles and a plan with a price estimate.

Focuses on scalp health and loc health, using low-tension sectioning and gentle techniques, and recommends interlocking for new or tighter locs and retwists for established ones.
