Perming

Spiral Perm

£90
3 hrs

A Spiral Perm creates defined, springy curls that hold their shape day to day, giving you more texture, volume and movement without relying on heat styling. The hair is wrapped in spiral rods, processed, then neutralised to set the curl pattern for a long-lasting, wearable finish.

More information

Spiral Perm results and what’s included

A Spiral Perm is designed to create a consistent curl pattern from roots through to ends, with a finish that can be styled more polished or more lived-in.

  • Curl consultation to agree the size, direction and overall look of the spiral curl.
  • Hair and scalp check to confirm your hair is suitable for a perm service.
  • Cleanse and prep to remove build-up so the perm solution processes evenly.
  • Sectioning and spiral rod set to form corkscrew-style curls.
  • Timed processing and careful monitoring to protect the condition of the hair.
  • Neutralising step to lock in the new curl pattern.
  • Finish and styling to show the curl definition and reduce frizz.
  • Aftercare guidance on washing, drying and product choice for better curl longevity.

Who Spiral Perm curls suit best

A Spiral Perm is a good choice if you want visible curl definition and more volume through the lengths.

  • Naturally straight or loosely wavy hair that struggles to hold a curl.
  • Fine hair that needs lift and texture for easier styling.
  • Medium to longer lengths where spiral curls can drop and bounce naturally.
  • Clients who want a wash-and-go curl routine, with simple refresh styling between washes.

If your hair is heavily bleached, very fragile, or recently chemically straightened, you may be advised to improve condition first or choose a different approach.

How the Spiral Perm appointment works

The service starts with a consultation and suitability check, then the hair is cleansed and wrapped into spiral rods to create the curl shape. The perm solution is applied and processed for a set time, then neutralised to fix the curl pattern. Your curls are then dried and styled so you can see the final shape and how to manage it at home.

Looking after your Spiral Perm at home

Spiral curls last best when you focus on moisture and gentle handling.

  • Avoid washing or tying the hair tightly straight after your perm, to let the curl set properly.
  • Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner and add a weekly mask to reduce dryness.
  • Detangle with a wide-tooth comb when damp, not when dry.
  • Style with a curl cream or gel, then air dry or diffuse to keep definition.
  • Sleep with minimal friction, and refresh curls with water and a light leave-in on non-wash days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will a Spiral Perm last?
Most Spiral Perms last for several weeks to a few months, depending on hair type, length and your home routine. Heat, frequent washing and dryness can make curls drop sooner.
Will a Spiral Perm damage my hair?
Perming is a chemical service, so some dryness is possible. A suitability check, correct processing times and good aftercare help keep hair feeling softer and looking healthy.
Can I have a Spiral Perm on coloured or highlighted hair?
Often yes, but it depends on the condition of your hair and what colour services you have had. If the hair is very lightened or fragile, you may be advised to strengthen it first.
How should I prepare for a Spiral Perm?
Arrive with your hair in its usual condition and be ready to discuss your daily styling routine and goals. Avoid heavy oils or thick styling build-up beforehand so the hair can be prepped properly.
How do I keep Spiral Perm curls defined and not frizzy?
Use moisturising products, avoid rough towel-drying, and scrunch in curl cream or gel on damp hair. Diffuse on a low setting or air dry, and refresh with water and a small amount of leave-in between washes.
