  • I enjoyed the chance to talk ahead of time about what I wanted, it seemed much more relaxed and less stressful than going to a salon and having the next available hairdresser just begin . I am looking forward to my perm appointment.

  • This was my first visit to Absolute Hair. I originally went in to have a consult with Jamie, but after her listening to what I wanted and didn't want, I decided to just bite the bullet and chop off about 8 inches of hair. She was very informative and really understood what I was looking for. I will definitely come back and have Jamie cut my hair again. She did an amazing job. Now I just have to get use to not having my hair always pulled back in a pony tail.

Perm FAQs

The cost varies from salon to salon, but in the University Downs area, you’re likely to pay between $75 and $275.

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.

If carried out by a professional, a perm should not cause any damage to your hair.

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.

A perm is a chemical process that alters the hair follicle. They work best on healthy hair, so try to ensure your hair is in top condition before you book your perm appointment, and avoid using heated styling tools in the days leading up to your perm.

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.
