FAQ
Wave perm questions, answered
What wave perm styles can I choose?
Trending options include the natural wave, layered wave, glam wave, beach wave, face-framing wave and volume wave perm. Each is tailored to your haircut and personal preference.
What is the difference between a wave perm and a C-curl / S-curl perm?
A wave perm creates looser, relaxed waves through the length, while a C-curl or S-curl perm focuses on a specific curl shape, such as inward ends or S-shaped flow. Your stylist can help you choose.
Should I get a digital perm for waves?
A digital (heat) perm gives defined waves that look best when dry. We recommend the technique after checking your hair condition.
Does a wave perm work with layers?
Yes — a layered cut adds dimension and helps waves move naturally, so many guests combine the two.
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
It depends on hair length and condition, and advance booking is recommended. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current price and time.
