I decided for a new style and colour. today with Sam… she completely understood the ideas of the cut I had in mind. I was not sure of colour, but I can trust Sam as she is a master in colour, she gave me a beautiful “raspberry latte” balayage colour. I’m delighted with the results! Feel refreshed! As always it’s a relaxing and chatty experience at Sams salon. Thank you very much !!!

Thank you for a lovely refresh of my colour and cut & finish yesterday. Diane discussed options with me and explained everything. I’m really pleased with the colour and how glossy and soft my hair is - see you again soon!

Emma & Holly were very friendly & welcoming. The salon decor is new, clean & tastefully done. This was my first in salon experience in many years & I immediately felt comfortable & at ease. Even the basins, which I was dreading, were comfortable to lean back into, with no after aches which I’ve always had at other salons. I’m very happy with the actual (3) colours & the overall blend of fine, evenly spaced, warm but bright highlights. Would highly recommend

Perm FAQs
The cost varies from salon to salon, but in the Reading area, you’re likely to pay between £53 and £120.
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.
Book your next perm appointment in Reading with Fresha
Getting an appointment at a hair salon in Reading has never been so easy. With Fresha you can discover top-rated salons and clinics without breaking a sweat. Simply browse by location, price or review, then book yourself in. Voila. No need to make any phone calls, since booking online with Fresha is instant. Fill your diary with those self-care treatments you've been meaning to make. We'll send you appointment reminders, so you can spend more time doing your thing.
No matter if you're in Parkside or Midgham, you're likely not too far from a recommended hair place. Reading is looking good for your next hair, nails and health fix. Fresha has made it so easy to see what's on offer. So come and see what's available. Take a look at the businesses nearby that have average 5.0 star ratings and reviews left by customers just like you.
Modern perms are all about enhancing the natural beauty and texture of your hair. Think beach babe waves, curvy coils, or slinky spirals rather than the stiff curls of old.
A permanent wave is low maintenance and can give fine hair body and bounce for months to come. The perming process isn't a quick fix, so set aside around 1 hour 30 minutes for your transformation. Search the Fresha app to find highly-rated salons near you and expect to pay up to £120 for a permanent wave in Reading.
We're excited to be the number one platform for top-rated salons, spas and clinics. Fresha has scheduled 600 million appointments worldwide. Yup, that's right. We're active in 120 countries, including the UK. One of the 80,000 businesses already using Fresha's free booking system to take bookings like yours could turn out to be your new local favourite.
