Permanent Wave

A permanent wave creates lasting movement, curl and volume, helping your style hold its shape with less daily effort. Expect a thorough consultation, a hair and scalp check, a tailored curl pattern, and a polished finish with clear aftercare guidance.

More information

Permanent waving is a great choice if you want defined texture, more body, or a style that stays put between washes. We focus on hair condition first, then tailor the curl size and placement to suit your length, natural pattern and styling routine. You will leave with a balanced shape and practical guidance on washing, drying and products to keep curls springy and reduce frizz. Results grow out gradually, and we can advise on how often to refresh your look while keeping hair feeling healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a permanent wave appointment?
Your appointment starts with a consultation about your hair goals, daily routine, and the finish you want. We then assess hair and scalp condition before creating a curl pattern that suits you. You will leave with styling advice and aftercare guidance to help the result last.
Who is a permanent wave best suited for?
Permanent waving suits anyone wanting longer-lasting curl, texture, or added volume. The best results depend on your hair’s condition, length, and previous chemical history. We will recommend the most suitable approach during your consultation.
How long do permanent wave results last?
Results typically last several weeks to a few months, depending on hair type, growth rate, and home care. The curl will soften over time and grow out gradually. Using the right products and drying methods can help maintain definition for longer.
How should I prepare for a permanent wave?
Arrive with hair that is easy to assess, and avoid heavy oils or product build-up beforehand. If your hair has been coloured, lightened, or chemically treated, share this during booking so we can plan safely. Bring inspiration photos if you have a specific curl look in mind.
What aftercare helps maintain a permanent wave?
Avoid washing or soaking your hair for the first 48 hours to help the curl set properly. After that, use moisturising, curl-supporting products and minimise heat where possible. Gentle drying, regular conditioning, and careful brushing habits help keep curls defined and reduce frizz.
