Who It's For
Ideal for cropped styles, pixies, and bobs above the shoulder seeking lift, wave, or defined curl. Suitable for most hair types that are in good condition. Not recommended for severely compromised or heavily bleached hair. We will assess and advise the safest route.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow up to 150 minutes for consultation, wrapping, processing, and finishing. Processing varies by density and curl goal. If you'd like a haircut, book it as an add-on. Arrive with dry, detangled hair and minimal product to keep timings on track.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Keep hair dry and avoid tight bands for 48 hours.
- Use sulphate-free shampoo and a moisturising conditioner.
- Blot dry with a microfibre towel. Do not rub.
- Apply curl cream or light mousse to define.
- Limit heat. If diffusing, use low heat with a heat protectant.
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce frizz.
- Book trims every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain shape.
- Expect to refresh your perm every 3 to 6 months, depending on growth.
