Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Perm.

Most perms last three to six months, depending on hair growth, texture, and home care. Proper maintenance, gentle products, and minimal heat styling will extend curl life. Your stylist will recommend timing for touch-ups based on your hair's behavior and desired look.

Perming uses chemicals that can cause dryness or damage if hair is compromised. Our stylists assess your color, porosity, and condition first. Often we recommend conditioning treatments or spacing services to protect integrity—ensuring safe processing and best possible curl results.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy products; avoid deep conditioning the day before. Bring photos of desired curl size and your regular styling routine. Your stylist will consult on expectations and may perform a strand test to determine optimal technique.

Appointments are scheduled for approximately 90 minutes to allow consultation, processing, and styling. Exact time can vary with hair length, thickness, or additional services like cuts or treatments. Your stylist will give a time estimate when confirming your in-person quote.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, moisturizing conditioners, and weekly deep treatments. Avoid daily heat and tight brushing; use wide-tooth combs or fingers to detangle. Sleep on a silk pillowcase and follow your stylist's styling tips to preserve curl pattern and reduce frizz.

Sometimes, but combining services depends on hair condition and desired results. Your stylist will evaluate and may recommend separating services or performing a strand test to avoid overprocessing. When safe, we coordinate timing and products for optimal color and curl integrity.
