Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a perm and a body wave?

A perm creates more defined, structured curls, while a body wave gives more style support with softer and more relaxed curls, adding natural-looking movement and volume. The right option depends on how much curl, texture, and lift you want in your hair. All the important things that we’ll discuss at your consultation.

Modern perming techniques are much gentler than they used to be. When done professionally, the focus is on maintaining your hair’s health while achieving your desired result. Treatments and the right aftercare will help keep your hair strong, soft, and manageable.

Most perms and body waves last between 2–4 months, depending on your hair type, length, and how well you maintain it. As your hair grows, the effect will gradually soften, giving a more natural grow-out over time.

Aftercare is key to keeping your curls or waves looking their best. This usually includes using moisture-rich shampoos and conditioners, avoiding excessive heat styling, and following any specific advice given to help maintain shape and reduce frizz.

Yes – you can still style your hair, but you’ll likely find you need less effort to achieve volume and texture. You can enhance your curls with styling products or blow-wave for a smoother look when needed.
