Permanent wave
A permanent wave otherwise known as a perm, are waves in the hair made by applying chemicals. The perm involves the use of chemical products to break and reform the bonds of the hair. The hair is washed and wrapped on a perm rod and then a waving lotion is applied with a base. This solution creates a chemical reaction, which makes the inner structure of the hair pliable by breaking some of the cross-links within and between the protein chains of the hair.

The hair will swell, stretch and then soften, before molding around the shape of the perm rod. In the past, when someone would think of a perm they would reference tight, fake crimped looking curls of the 1980’s or the acrid hair solutions, and scary metal rods and rollers of old permanent techniques. The old-fashioned permanent got a bad reputation because it was damaging to hair’s condition, not to mention unrealistic style.

This isn’t your mother’s perm anymore! There are new updated types of perms that create big, loose and soft curls. The technology has now been updated and can now create volume and natural curls that are sumptuous and sexy. I have techniques to add texture and style to any hair without the frizz and tight curls of the past. Contemporary permanent waves use advanced product technology that are better for the hair with state of the art solutions and built in conditioners.

A perm can be a great way to give your straight or limp hair a beautiful wave or curl and sensual volume.

​My professional permanent wave appointment
To create the permanent wave, I will consult with you to determine the best wave or curl to compliment your face shape, hair cut color and sense of style. I will then prepare the hair with a deep cleansing or neutralizing shampoo, which will help accept the permanent products. Another solution is then placed on the hair to ensure it remains damp through the entire permanent process. Then I will apply the perm solution before wrapping the hair around rods. When the curl is set, the hair is gingerly removed from the curling rods to reveal your new luxurious hair.

Types of permanent wave
There are two main kinds of permanent waves or perms. The first are spiral perms. A spiral perm uses permanent hair products with small curling rods, which produces tighter curls. Body waves however, make use of he same technique only with larger curlers that add a wavy effect instead of twisted ringlets.
An amateur approaching the permanent process will not have the training, knowledge or professional products that an expert like myself has access to. A permanent wave done incorrectly or with over the counter products can result major issues such as hair that is no longer elastic and flexible, but instead is brittle and fragile or worse.
​

Using a trained professional will give you the peace of mind that you will soon have beautiful new lush waves or curls.
