Perming

Perming gives you lasting curl, wave and volume with a finish shaped to suit your cut and daily routine. Expect a careful consultation, comfortable processing, and clear aftercare so your new texture stays defined and manageable.

More information

Perming is ideal if you want reliable texture without daily heat styling. We begin with a consultation to check hair condition, discuss the curl or wave you want, and agree realistic results. Your appointment includes precise wrapping, timed processing, and a finished style that shows your new shape. You will also get straightforward aftercare guidance to protect moisture, reduce frizz, and keep definition as your hair grows out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect at a perming appointment?
You will start with a consultation to discuss your goal and assess hair condition. The hair is then wrapped and processed in timed stages before being finished and styled. We will explain what to expect on the day and how to care for your new texture afterwards.
How long do perming results usually last?
Most perms last for several weeks to a few months, depending on hair type, condition, and your home routine. The curl or wave will soften over time and grow out gradually. We can advise how often to refresh to keep your style looking consistent.
Is perming suitable for all hair types?
Perming can work well on many hair types, but suitability depends on current condition, previous colouring, and overall strength. If hair is fragile or very dry, we may recommend adjusting your plan or improving condition first. A thorough consultation helps ensure safe, wearable results.
What aftercare helps a perm stay defined and healthy?
Follow the guidance you are given on washing, brushing, and styling in the first couple of days. Using gentle, moisturising products and minimising high heat helps maintain curl pattern and shine. Regular conditioning also supports softness and manageability.
How should I prepare before getting a perm?
Arrive with your hair in its usual state and be ready to talk through your daily routine, styling time, and the look you want to achieve. Avoid heavy product build-up where possible, as it can affect how the hair processes. If you are unsure about timing or maintenance, ask during booking so expectations are clear.
