Yes. Please call before scheduling so we can review hair history, perform a brief consultation, and confirm suitability. This prevents damage, ensures the correct perm type, and allows us to reserve adequate time for your individualized service.

Typically two to six months depending on hair growth, porosity, and aftercare. Fine hair may relax sooner, while thicker hair holds shape longer. Follow maintenance tips, use sulfate-free products, and book touch-ups as roots appear to preserve curl definition.

Possibly. Colored or highlighted hair can be permed but requires a consultation and strand test. If hair is overly porous or damaged, we may recommend conditioning treatments first. We'll choose milder solutions and timing to protect color and hair integrity.

Use gentle sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners, avoid washing for two days after your perm, and limit heat styling. Sleep on a silk pillowcase, refresh curls with leave-in treatments or curl cream, and schedule regular trims to maintain shape.

Perming involves chemical processes, but trained stylists minimize damage through consultations, strand tests, and appropriate solution strength. We recommend pre-perm treatments, bond-repair products, and post-perm conditioning to restore moisture. If hair shows excess damage, we may decline to proceed for safety.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products, oils, or recent deep-conditioning. Bring information about recent chemical services and medications. Avoid coloring or harsh treatments within a recommended timeframe. We'll assess and advise any required pre-treatments during your consultation.
