Perm

starting from £70

The perm service begins with a consultation to determine the perfect curl type and size for your hair. After preparing the hair, the stylist wraps sections around perm rods and applies a special solution to create lasting curls or waves. The hair is then set, rinsed, and treated to ensure springy, voluminous curls that last for months. Perfect for adding texture, body, and style, a perm offers long-lasting, bouncy curls that bring a fresh, dynamic look to your hair.

A perm at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge is a chemical treatment designed to create long-lasting curls or waves in your hair. During the service, our professional stylists apply a special solution that breaks down the natural structure of your hair, allowing it to be reshaped with curlers or rods. Afterward, a neutralizer is used to lock in the new shape. Whether you’re after tight curls or soft, beachy waves, we tailor your perm to suit your hair type and your desired look.

When you get a perm at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, you can expect your new curls or waves to last anywhere from three to six months. The longevity of your perm will depend on factors like your hair type, how well you care for your hair afterward, and how often you wash it. Using sulfate-free shampoos, moisturizing treatments, and avoiding excessive heat styling can all help maintain the life and bounce of your perm for as long as possible.

At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we assess your hair’s condition and texture before recommending a perm. Generally, perms work best on healthy hair that isn’t overly processed or damaged. Fine, straight, or slightly wavy hair tends to respond well. If you have very thick, coarse, or heavily bleached hair, our stylists might suggest a different approach or recommend strengthening treatments first. We always offer a thorough consultation to ensure your hair is ready for a perm that looks amazing and feels healthy.

Before your perm at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, it’s best to come with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products. We recommend avoiding chemical treatments like coloring or relaxing for at least two weeks beforehand to prevent stress on your hair. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your hair history and desired results, ensuring your perm experience is smooth and successful. Want to start the process? Get in touch with us today.

Caring for your hair after a perm at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge is essential to maintaining beautiful curls. We recommend not washing your hair for at least 48 hours post-treatment to allow the curls to set fully. Always use moisturizing, curl-friendly products and avoid brushing your hair when it’s dry—opt for wide-tooth combs instead. Reduce heat styling and protect your hair with a silk pillowcase to minimize frizz and breakage. Our stylists will give you personalized aftercare tips during your appointment.

At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we usually advise waiting at least two to three weeks after your perm before applying any colour treatments. This gives your hair time to recover and ensures the best results for both services. If you’re planning a major colour change or lightening, it’s important to discuss it with your stylist beforehand. We’ll work with you to create a safe, tailored plan that keeps your hair healthy and vibrant.

When done professionally at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, a perm is a safe and carefully monitored process. Our stylists use high-quality solutions and advanced techniques to minimize stress on your hair. That said, any chemical service carries some risk of dryness or minor damage. We offer strengthening treatments and aftercare advice to help keep your curls soft, shiny, and manageable. Trust our expert team to prioritize the health of your hair every step of the way.
