Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Perms.

Yes — many hair types can be permed with proper assessment. Our stylists evaluate hair history, condition, porosity and previous chemical treatments before recommending a perm type or alternative. We tailor the technique to preserve health and achieve your desired curl pattern.

Perms are a chemical process that can weaken hair if misapplied, but not necessarily cause permanent damage. Our stylists assess hair strength and use protective treatments, recommending trims or conditioning programs to restore integrity and prevent long-term harm.

Most perms last between two to six months depending on hair type, curl size, and aftercare. Fine hair may loosen sooner while stronger or drier hair keeps shape longer. Follow our recommended products and maintenance to extend curl longevity.

Use sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, avoid daily heat styling, and apply leave-in treatments or oils. Sleep on a silk pillowcase, refresh with curl-friendly products, and book periodic trims and salon deep-conditioning to maintain shape and hair health.

Color and bleach affect hair strength; we recommend full consultation. Typically avoid lightening within several weeks before or after a perm. If coloring is desired, our stylists will schedule treatments safely, use bond-repair products, and recommend timing to minimize damage.

Appointments range from two to four hours depending on hair length, density, chosen curl size, and additional services like color or treatments. Your stylist will provide an accurate time estimate during consultation and schedule accordingly to ensure careful, unrushed results.
