You will start with a consultation to chat through your hair history, your goals, and how you normally style day to day. We will assess condition and suitability, then carry out the service carefully and finish with styling and aftercare advice. You will know what to do at home and what to expect as it settles. How long do perming results usually last? A perm typically lasts for several months, depending on your hair type, how you care for it, and how quickly it grows. The look will soften over time and grow out gradually. We can advise on a maintenance plan that keeps it looking tidy and easy to manage. Is perming suitable for my hair? Perming can work for many hair types, but condition and previous chemical services matter. We will be honest about what is realistic and what will keep your hair in good shape. If needed, we may suggest an alternative plan or a consultation first. What aftercare should I follow after perming? Plan to be gentle with your hair at first, and follow the advice you are given on washing and styling in the first couple of days. Ongoing, a moisturising routine and careful heat use will help keep curls or waves looking soft and defined. We will recommend a simple home routine that suits your schedule. How should I prepare for a perm, and what should I tell you before I come in? Let us know about your recent hair history, including colour, lightening, smoothing treatments, and any changes in condition. Bring a couple of inspiration photos and be ready to chat about how much daily styling you want to do. Booking is easy online, and if you are unsure, choose a slot where we have time to talk it through properly.
