More information

Perming is a great choice if you want reliable texture and shape that makes everyday styling easier. Your appointment starts with a consultation to check hair condition, talk through the look you want, and set realistic expectations for feel, finish and maintenance. The perming process is carried out with care to support softness and shine, then styled to show your new curl pattern. You will also get practical guidance on washing, drying, product choice and refreshing curls, so your results stay consistent as your hair grows out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect at a perming appointment?
Your visit begins with a consultation to discuss your goal and assess your hair’s condition. We then create your curl or wave pattern, rinse and neutralise, and finish with styling so you can see the result. You will leave with clear advice on how to maintain your new texture.
How long will perming results last?
Perming is designed to be long-lasting, with results gradually changing as your hair grows. How long it looks its best depends on your hair type, home care routine, and how you style day to day. We will help you understand what to expect for your hair.
Is perming suitable for all hair types and conditions?
Perming can suit many hair types, but hair condition matters. Chemically treated, very dry, or fragile hair may need a different approach or a recovery plan first. A consultation helps confirm whether perming is appropriate and what outcome is realistic.
How should I look after my hair after perming?
Use a moisturising routine and gentle handling to help keep curls defined and reduce frizz. We will recommend when to wash, how to dry, and what styling habits support your curl pattern. Regular conditioning and the right products make a noticeable difference.
Can I colour my hair before or after perming?
Perming and colouring can be compatible, but timing and hair condition are important to protect strength and shine. Let us know about recent or planned colour so we can advise a safe schedule. When in doubt, a consultation is the best place to start.
