Who It's For
Ideal for women and men with short hair who want lasting body, curl or wave. It suits straight or fine hair that needs lift, and naturally wavy hair that benefits from more defined shape.
If hair is very fragile, heavily bleached or chemically relaxed, a perm may not be suitable. We will assess your hair and advise safe options.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow around 150 minutes for consultation, wrapping, processing and finish. Very dense hair may need a little longer and we will confirm this during consultation.
Bring reference photos if you have a specific look in mind. Book a time when you can keep hair dry and undisturbed for 48 hours after your perm.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Keep hair dry for 48 hours after your service. Avoid tight hats, clips or tucking behind ears while the shape sets.
Wash with a sulphate-free curl cleanser and a moisturising conditioner. Use a curl cream or mousse and scrunch to enhance definition. Diffuse on low heat or air dry. Avoid brushing; detangle with a wide-tooth comb.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Trim every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain the shape. Expect the curl to soften with growth; many clients refresh at around 8 to 12 weeks depending on hair type and styling routine.
