Question 1

Why do I need a consultation before getting a perm?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is essential to evaluate your hair's condition, texture, and history. We need to ensure your hair is healthy enough for a perm and determine the best technique and rod size for your desired curl pattern. This helps us achieve the best results and protect your hair's health.

Question 2

What's the difference between a basic perm and a spiral perm?

Accepted Answer

A basic perm creates a more traditional, uniform curl pattern and works best on shorter hair (shoulder length or shorter). A spiral perm creates tighter, more defined spiral curls and works best on longer hair (shoulder length or longer).

Question 3

How long does a basic perm take?

Accepted Answer

Basic perm services typically take 2-3 hours depending on your hair length and the type of perm. The process includes wrapping, processing, neutralizing, and styling. We'll give you an accurate time estimate during your consultation.

Question 4

How long do perms last?

Accepted Answer

Perms typically last 3-6 months, depending on your hair type, how fast your hair grows, and how you care for it. The perm gradually relaxes as your hair grows and new hair comes in. We'll provide care instructions to help maintain your perm.

Question 5

Can I color my hair if I have a perm?

Accepted Answer

It's generally best to wait at least 2 weeks between a perm and color service, or vice versa. Chemical services can be hard on hair, so spacing them out helps maintain hair health. We can discuss the best timing for your specific situation during your consultation.

Question 6

How do I care for my perm at home?

Accepted Answer

We'll provide detailed care instructions, but generally: use sulfate-free shampoos, avoid brushing when wet (use a wide-tooth comb), use curl-enhancing products, and avoid heat styling when possible. Proper care helps maintain your perm and keeps your curls looking great.
