Get answers to common questions about Professional Hair Perm.

Most perms last between two and six months depending on hair type, curl size, and maintenance. Regular conditioning and gentle care extend longevity; occasional touch-ups refresh shape and volume as hair grows.

Modern perm formulas and professional techniques minimize damage when performed on healthy hair. A thorough consultation and strand test assess integrity; pre-treatment or bond-building repairs may be recommended to protect fragile or previously processed hair.

Color and perm scheduling depends on your hair's condition and desired result. Typically, it's safest to color after perming or space services by several weeks; discuss timing during consultation to choose the best sequence for minimal processing stress.

Appointments vary from about ninety minutes to three hours depending on hair length, thickness, curl size, and any additional services like color or treatments. Your stylist will recommend a realistic timeframe during booking and consultation.

Post-perm care includes using gentle, sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioning weekly, and avoiding heat styling for the first 48 hours. Sleep on silk, refresh curls with leave-in products, and schedule trims to maintain shape and prevent split ends.

Perms can work on many hair types, but suitability depends on texture, health, and history. Fine, porous, or heavily damaged hair may need strengthening or alternative services. A stylist will evaluate and recommend a customized approach or safer options.
