Why Choose Basic Perm
Transform your curl pattern for shorter hair
Built for Shorter Hair
Basic Perm is specifically designed for hair that's shoulder length or shorter. It creates a more traditional, uniform curl pattern that works beautifully on shorter lengths, giving you the curls you've always wanted.
Custom Curl Pattern
We'll work with you to determine the right curl pattern for your hair type and desired look. The rod size and technique are customized around your goal.
Long-Lasting Results
Perms typically last 3-6 months, depending on your hair type and how you care for it. The perm gradually relaxes as your hair grows, giving you months of beautiful curls.
Perm Care Tips
How to prepare for your perm appointment and protect your curls afterward
Before Your Appointment
Wait at Least 2 Weeks After Color
If you've recently colored your hair, wait at least two weeks before a perm. Double-processing hair with both chemicals close together increases the risk of damage.
Arrive with Clean, Product-Free Hair
Come to your appointment with clean hair and no heavy styling products. Product build-up can interfere with even perm solution penetration.
Share Your Full Chemical History
Let us know about any previous perms, relaxers, color, or keratin treatments. Your chemical history is critical information that helps us protect your hair during the process.
Plan for 2–3 Hours
The perm process—wrapping, processing, neutralizing, and styling—takes 2 to 3 hours depending on your hair length. Schedule accordingly.
After Your Appointment
Wait 48–72 Hours Before Washing
The neutralization process continues for up to 72 hours after your appointment. Washing too soon can disrupt the curl-setting process and loosen your results.
Don't Tie or Clip Your Hair for 24 Hours
Avoid hair ties, clips, or anything that puts pressure on your curls for the first 24 hours. Indentations from elastics can permanently distort the curl pattern.
Use Sulfate-Free, Curl-Friendly Products
Sulfate-free shampoos and curl-enhancing conditioners keep permed hair moisturized and help curls stay defined. Avoid brushing when wet—use a wide-tooth comb instead.
Minimize Heat Styling
Permed hair is more porous and can be more vulnerable to heat damage. When you do use heat, keep temperatures moderate and always use a heat protectant.

Perm Services in Denver: Colorado Climate Notes
In Denver, commute plus city exposure often means more sun, wind, and dryness accumulation through the week. These are the local factors we account for when planning perm services.
Dry climate can make fresh perms feel rougher
Use sulfate-free moisture support and avoid over-washing to preserve curl softness.
Altitude and UV can stress chemically processed hair
Protect curls with leave-in UV defense and limit high heat between reshaping visits.
Hard water can flatten curl definition
Occasional mineral-removal cleansing helps curls spring back and stay more uniform.
