Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Perms.

Most perms last two to six months, depending on hair texture, growth rate, and aftercare. Proper products and professional maintenance extend curl shape; occasional touch-ups refresh roots while preserving overall hair health and style.

A properly done perm won't inherently damage hair. We assess condition, use bond-friendly solutions and strengthening treatments, and recommend tailored aftercare to minimize breakage and maintain shine. Severely compromised hair may need rehabilitation before perm services.

Yes in many cases. Your stylist will evaluate previous color or chemical work, strand integrity, and timing. Fresh color or heavy bleaching may require waiting or strengthening treatments; a patch test and bond repairs ensure safe, predictable results.

Avoid washing or harsh styling for the first 48 hours to let curls set. Use sulfate-free shampoo, hydrating conditioner, and curl-specific products. Air-dry or diffuse low heat, sleep on silk, and schedule trims and periodic conditioning treatments to maintain shape and health.

Perm appointments typically take 90 to 180 minutes, depending on hair length, density, desired curl size, and any conditioning or bond-repair treatments. Consultations and styling time are included to ensure the outcome matches your expectations.

Yes. Curl size can be adjusted at future appointments with different rods or techniques. We consider hair history, spacing between perms, and condition; gradual changes or touch-ups are recommended to protect hair while achieving new curl shapes.
