Permanent wavy or curly style
I, Dianne am a Perm Specialist. I have been perming for over 40 years, and know exactly how to achieve perfect curls on any hair. I only use the best quality perm solution, and do everything precisely and with purpose. This means that all of my perm clients walk out loving their stunning hair. Perming has evolved so much over my years in the industry and the results speak for themselves. Our clients are constantly getting compliments on their “naturally curly hair” because my perming results are so perfect. I can do all styles of perms, all perms, anything from tiny spirals to beautiful beachy waves.
Perming is a permanent chemical process that changes the texture of your hair. It works by, breaking down the bonds in your hair strand, and resealing them in a new form. While this is so, your perm will start to relax over time. Depending on the length of your hair and the desired result, our perms can last anywhere from 3 months, to a year!
Because I use the best quality solution out there, and time everything exactly, you can expect there to be no damage to your hair. Meaning your new body and curls will be hydrated, bouncy, and so shiny!
What can you expect when you come in for a perm service? We will have a detailed consultation with you first thing, make sure to bring some photos of the kind of curls you are wanting, as this helps me to know exactly what you are after. Once we have chatted thoroughly about what we are going to do, I will take you over to the basin for two shampoos. This will ensure that your hair is properly cleansed and prepared for our solution.
Now that your hair is clean and damp, I will cut your hair into shape. Curly hair needs to be shaped properly in order for it to sit and style properly, so I will give you a beautiful curly cut, as I am also a curly cutting expert. Now, I will start applying the solution and putting in your rollers. I may use different sizes, depending on the look we are after. My sectioning and placement is meticulous and individualised for the result you are after. Once I am finished, we will leave your hair to process.
After we rinse your hair thoroughly, we will press each roller with a towel, to remove any dampness we can. And apply the final solution.
Once we have washed everything out of your hair and bring you back to your chair, Di might go back in and make any adjustments to your haircut. Then Di, being the curl specialist, will show you the best products for your hair, and teach you how to use them! And lastly we will diffuse your hair, so you are ready to go out and rock your new curls!
A good rule of thumb is that perms start to lose their effect after 3 to 6 months however, the longevity of a perm can be dependent on several factors. For example, if your hair is thick, it will hold a curl for longer than if it is thin or fine. Likewise, if you wash and style your hair every day, more stress will be placed on the curls and therefore their lifespan will be shorter.
The cost of a perm usually depends on your hair length, so the longer your hair the more expensive it will be. Here at Olivia’s Secret, a short-haired perm costs $250+, a medium-haired perm $300+, and a long-haired perm $350+. For more information on perms get in contact with us at 07 5444 4377 or book your appointment online today.
The perm procedure itself typically takes around 45 minutes however this can vary depending on your hair type and thickness. For example, if your hair is coarse and long, the process of getting a perm will be longer, often taking around 2 hours to get the perfect look. You can also get different types of curls to make your natural curl pattern wavier than it naturally would be, so this will also affect how long the process takes when getting your new do.
