What is a Perm?

Picture of a woman with a perm A perm is a chemical hair treatment that creates long-lasting texture and waves in the hair. It works by breaking down the bonds in your hair structure, allowing the hair to be permanently reshaped. Our stylists will typically apply a chemical solution to your hair, wrap it around rods of different sizes, and then apply heat to set the new shape. After the perm is complete, we will shampoo and condition your hair to add moisture and protect it from damage. Perms are great for adding volume, texture, and movement to your hair, and they can be tailored to your individual style. Whether you want tight curls, loose waves, or something in between, one of our talented stylists can create the perfect perm for you. With regular trims and maintenance, a perm can last up to six months. At Salon Essential, our trained stylists can help you choose the perfect perm for your hair type and lifestyle. From traditional perms to specialty treatments, our stylists are here to help you create the perfect look.

Different Types of Perms

The Classic Perm

This is a traditional perm that produces tight, uniform curls. It is the most popular type of perm and is the easiest to maintain. Soft perms are a type of perm that creates loose waves and curls. This type of perm is best for those who want to add body and volume to their hair. The root perm produces curls and waves that start at the scalp and move downwards. This type of perm is great for adding volume and defining the hairline.

The Body Wave Perm

This is a gentle perm that creates soft, natural-looking waves. This type of perm is perfect for those who want to add body and movement to their hair without the tight curls. The multi-textured perm is a perm that creates different textures and curls throughout the hair. This type of perm is perfect for those who want to add texture and depth to their hair.

The New Age Perm

This perm creates loose, natural-looking curls that last for several months. This type of perm is perfect for those who want to add texture and movement to their hair without having to use styling products.

How long do perms last?

Picture of hair dryers Perms are a great way to add texture, body, and curl to your hair, but how long do they last? Generally, perms can last for up to six months, depending on the type of hair you have, and how well you care for your perm. If you have fine, thin hair, it can tend to lose its curl faster than thicker, coarser hair. Additionally, how often you use heat styling tools, such as curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers can also reduce the longevity of your perm. To make your perm last as long as possible, use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and try to use heat styling tools only when necessary. Additionally, adding a curl-enhancing product or spray to your hair can help keep the curl for longer.
