Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Perm & Cut.

A typical perm and cut lasts three to six months, depending on hair type, growth rate, and care. Proper products, reduced heat styling, and periodic trims extend shape and curl integrity.

Any chemical service carries risk, but we assess hair condition first. Using modern low-damage solutions, bond-repair treatments, and custom processing minimizes harm. For heavily processed hair, we recommend strengthening treatments before perming.

Arrive with clean, unstyled hair; avoid heavy conditioners or oils that can interfere with processing. Bring photos of desired looks. If you've recently colored or chemically treated hair, email photos so we can plan safely.

Plan for two to three hours depending on hair length, thickness, and complexity. Time includes consultation, perming process, conditioning treatments, and precision cutting so we achieve the final shape and texture you want.

Yes, but timing matters. Coloring before perming requires assessment; some color processes weaken hair and affect curl. We often recommend perming first or scheduling a color service before or weeks after, based on strand tests and salon advice.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, moisturizing conditioners, and curl-preserving products. Avoid washing for 48 hours, minimize heat styling, and book regular trims and bond-repair treatments. We provide customized product recommendations and a care plan during your appointment.
