Rods, wave solution and a set
Perms
A classic perm, a looser body wave or a touch-up at the roots, with a test curl first.
Rhoda does most of our perms. She starts by talking through the curl you want and checking a test curl on a few strands, then wraps the rods to your length and the shape of your cut. A perm sits in the chair for hours, so we plan the day around it.

Questions about this service
How long does a perm take?
A classic perm takes about two and a half hours, a body wave about two, and a perm and cut about two and three quarter hours.
Can I have my hair colored the same day?
Usually not. We space color and a perm apart, and we tell you how far when you book.
How do I care for it after?
Your stylist tells you when to wash it first. Our care page has what to do at night and between visits.
Do you do a perm touch-up?
Yes. If the ends still hold their curl, we wrap only the new growth.
