You will get honest advice on what to expect as your curl settles and grows out, plus a simple routine to help with definition, shine, and manageability. Book online when it suits you, and leave with hair that behaves day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when booking a perming appointment?
You will start with a consultation about the curl or wave you want, your hair history, and your usual styling routine. We will check your hair condition and talk through what is realistic to achieve. You will leave with straightforward aftercare advice for the best results.
Who is perming best suited for?
Perming suits people who want longer lasting curl, wave, or texture that fits real life styling. It can work well for many hair types, but the best results depend on hair condition and previous treatments. If you are unsure, a quick consultation helps set clear expectations.
How long will a perm last?
Results typically last from several weeks to a few months, depending on your hair type, cut, and home care. The curl will soften over time and as your hair grows. We will explain what you can expect for your hair and how to keep the shape looking its best.
Is perming damaging to hair?
Any chemical service needs a careful approach, but perming can be done with hair health as the priority. We assess strength, condition, and recent history before going ahead, and we will be honest if it is not the right choice. Good aftercare and the right routine help protect condition.
How do I look after permed hair at home?
Be gentle with heat, choose moisture focused products, and avoid rough towel drying or over brushing when dry. A simple routine helps keep definition and reduces frizz between appointments. Regular trims help the shape stay fresh as your hair grows.
