Best Hair Perms near me in Croydon North, Melbourne

A hair perm (permanent wave) is a chemical treatment that restructures the hair's bonds to create long-lasting waves or curls. Modern perms range from tight spiral curls to loose beach waves, and can be tailored to your desired texture and hair type.

Digital perms are popular for softer, more relaxed curl results. Browse and book digital perm specialists near you on Fresha.

You shouldn’t stand with your head directly under the shower for 2 days, nor should you wash your hair with shampoo for 2 to 3 days (48-72 hours) after you’ve had your perm. It’s also advisable not to use swimming pools or hot tubs for a week (7 days) after perming your hair because the chemicals in the water can affect the structure of your hair follicles. Brushing your hair and using heated styling tools are also no-nos for 48 hours after you’ve had a perm; and colouring should be avoided for 3-7 days.

It depends on the length of your hair. Perms on short, frequently cut hair tend to last 3-4 months; perms on longer hair can last 6-8 months.

Not entirely. The best thing to do is to wait for it to grow out. Frequent micro trims will speed up this process, as can washing it regularly and using a deep conditioning mask to weigh your permed curls down. If you want a more immediate solution, your hairstylist can apply a creme perm to help relax and undo the curls.

The cost varies from salon to salon, but in the Croydon North area, you’re likely to pay between $80 and $420.
