Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Perm.

Perms generally last eight to sixteen weeks, depending on hair growth rate, texture, and aftercare. Proper maintenance and gentle products extend curl life and keep shape looking fresh between salon touch-ups.

Modern perm techniques and professional formulations minimize damage when applied correctly. A consultation and strand test identify hair strength and porosity; deep conditioning and planned treatments reduce breakage risk.

Avoid washing for 48 hours, then use sulfate-free cleansers and nourishing conditioners. Gently detangle, air-dry or diffuse on low heat, and apply leave-in or curl creams to maintain definition and moisture.

Often yes, but it depends on prior chemical services and hair condition. We perform a thorough consultation and strand test to determine timing, appropriate perm formula, and required conditioning treatments.

Appointment length varies with hair length and thickness, plus consultation, wrapping and processing time. Expect typically two to three hours to ensure precise rod placement, processing, neutralizing, and styling.

Bring reference photos to your consultation. Our stylists consider face shape, hair length, lifestyle and maintenance preferences to recommend rod sizes and techniques that achieve the desired curl pattern.
