Why are Guys choosing perms?
The biggest reason men are choosing perms? Convenience.
A perm gives your hair shape, texture and volume that lasts for months, meaning less time spent styling and more good hair days.
Clients often tell us they love having extra volume at the roots, hair that’s easier to style, natural looking waves or curls and a style that still looks great between washes!
Modern perming techniques are tailored to the look you want, so whether you’re after loose waves or more defined curls, we’ll create something that suits you.
What happens during a perm appointment?
Every perm starts with a consultation which you need to book at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. We’ll chat about the look you’d like to achieve, take a look at your hair’s condition, apply a skin test and make sure a perm is the right option for you. You’ll be required to complete a consultation form.
The treatment itself involves carefully wrapping the hair around rods before applying a professional solution that reshapes the hair into its new curl or wave pattern.
Once the process is complete, we’ll style your hair, talk you through aftercare and answer any questions you have. We’ll also give you a copy of aftercare advice to take home with you.
Most appointments take between 2-3 hours depending on your hair length and the result you’re looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most perms last around three to six months.
The exact length of time depends on your hair type, how quickly your hair grows and how you care for it at home. Over time, the curls will gradually soften and grow out naturally.

Not unless that’s what you want! Modern perms can be soft, loose and natural-looking. Your results will be tailored to you.

Usually yes, but timing is important. We recommend waiting at least 1-2 weeks after your service. We’ll advise on the safest approach during your consultation. Colouring your hair too close together with the perm you do runs the risk of excessive dryness, breakage or uneven curl formation. Always follow your barber’s advice.
-
When carried out on suitable hair by an experienced barber, a perm can be a fantastic way to add texture and volume. We always assess your hair first to ensure it’s in the right condition.
