Perming / Permanent Curls
Includes consultation, curl-pattern planning and aftercare guidance. The final price depends on hair length, density and condition.
How we plan your perm
The consultation matters as much as the technique. We plan the result around your hair’s condition, your preferred level of definition and the maintenance you are comfortable with.
We review previous colour, straightening, bleaching and chemical services before deciding whether perming is suitable.
Rod size, sectioning and wrapping direction are chosen to create soft movement, bounce or stronger definition.
You leave knowing how to wash, condition, dry and refresh the curls without unnecessary complexity.



Learn before you perm
A perm uses a controlled chemical process to reshape the hair’s internal bonds while it is wrapped around rods. A neutralising step then helps set the new wave or curl pattern.
Larger rods and looser wrapping create movement and body. Smaller rods and tighter patterns create more visible curl definition. Your length and density affect the final result.
Perming works best when the hair has enough strength for a chemical texture change. Previous bleach, colour, straightening and damage must be considered before proceeding.
We consult, assess and section the hair, wrap it on selected rods, apply and monitor the perm solution, neutralise, rinse and finish the curls gently. Timing varies by hair and pattern.
The treated lengths remain textured as the hair grows, while the pattern gradually relaxes and new growth keeps its natural texture. Longevity varies with hair, curl choice and aftercare.
Avoid washing or tightly tying fresh curls for the period your stylist recommends. Afterwards, use gentle cleansing, regular conditioning and low-friction drying to support definition.

Yes. Rod size and wrapping technique influence the result, although your length, density and current condition also affect what is realistically achievable.
Sometimes, but not automatically. Previously lightened or chemically treated hair must be assessed carefully before another texture service.

Timing depends on hair length, density, condition and the chosen pattern. Your stylist can provide a more useful estimate after assessing your hair.
