Most Permanent Wave results last three to six months, depending on hair growth, texture, and maintenance. Proper aftercare and professional products extend curl life; periodic touch-ups help maintain shape as hair grows out.

Yes, often safe when performed after a thorough consultation. We assess hair condition and may perform strand tests or use gentler formulas. Additional conditioning treatments can protect color and minimize damage during the perming process.

Avoid washing for 48 hours, and use sulfate-free shampoos, moisturizing conditioners, and weekly deep treatments. Limit heat styling and detangle gently. Regular trims and recommended salon products help preserve curl shape and hair health long-term.

When applied by our trained stylists, risks are minimized. We evaluate hair strength beforehand, offer bond-repair treatments, and adjust processing. Heavily damaged hair may require restorative care before perming to avoid further breakage.

Absolutely. Curl size is customizable using different rod diameters and techniques. Your stylist will recommend options based on hair length, density, and desired result, showing examples to achieve anything from loose waves to tight curls.

Timing varies: we often recommend waiting two to four weeks between color and perm services. If hair is already colored or fragile, a strand test and consultation determine safety. Sequencing treatments may be adjusted for best results.
