Perm FAQs
The cost varies from salon to salon, but in the Stepney area, you’re likely to pay between £45 and £280.
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.

Modern perms can give you soft springy curls, loose waves or added bounce and volume. There's no set look from a hair perm — most people get them to enhance their hair's natural texture.
If you fancy effortless beach waves, S-pattern curls like you've just taken braids out, or hair that always looks like it's just had a blowout, a perm is the way to go. Permanent waves cost between £45 and £280, and you'll need to set aside 50 minutes to 3 hours. Find the best stylists for perms in Stepney on Fresha and get ready to make some waves.
