More information

What's Included

Everything is customised to your hair length, texture and goals.

  • Pre-service consultation to understand your goals and hair history.
  • Integrity check and strand test if needed.
  • Custom curl design: rod sizes, wrap technique and placement for long hair.
  • Protective prep and modern perm solution matched to your hair type.
  • Neutralising, rinse and hydration to lock in shape and shine.
  • Personalised finish and styling guidance for your new texture.

Who It's For

Ideal if your long hair struggles to hold a curl, feels flat at the roots, or you want a soft body wave through the lengths. Suits a range of looks from subtle movement to defined spiral texture.

Best for healthy hair past shoulder length. If hair is heavily highlighted, very fragile or recently straightened chemically, we will assess suitability and may suggest strengthening first.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 3 to 3.5 hours for the service, including finish and style. Long hair needs precise sectioning and careful processing for an even result.

If it is your first perm here, we will book a consultation before your appointment to check hair health and plan your curl pattern. This ensures realistic results and the right technique for you.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Do not wash for 48 hours after your perm. Use sulphate-free, moisturising shampoo and conditioner, and apply a weekly mask. Comb gently with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, then diffuse on low heat or air dry with curl cream or mousse.

Sleep on silk or satin, and avoid tight bands for the first week. Expect the shape to last around 3 to 6 months depending on hair type and care. We recommend trims every 8 to 10 weeks and a refresh when the curl relaxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a consultation before booking?
If you have not had a perm here before, yes. We assess hair history, condition and your desired result, and may carry out a strand test. This ensures the technique and timing are right for your hair.
What results can I expect on long hair?
Options range from a soft body wave to a defined curl or spiral. Your stylist designs the wrap and rod sizes to suit your length and layers, so the shape falls and moves naturally.
Will a perm damage my hair?
We use modern formulations and protective steps to respect hair integrity. Suitability is checked in consultation, and we may recommend strengthening treatments or adjust the technique for fragile hair.
How long will the perm last on long hair?
Most long hair perms last 3 to 6 months, softening gradually. Longevity depends on hair type, home care and heat use. We can refresh or reshape when the curl relaxes.
Can I colour my hair with a perm?
Yes, but timing matters to protect condition. We plan colour and perm in the right order, with a safe gap between services. Your stylist will advise what to book and when based on your hair.
