Perming

Perm - HALF HEAD/TOP SECTION

£68 – £85
30 - 45 mins

Create natural-looking lift through the crown without committing to a full perm. This half head/top section perm focuses on the top and fringe area to boost root volume, add soft texture and support the shape of your blow-dry, so day-to-day styling is quicker and holds better.

More information

What's Included

A focused service that builds volume at the roots while caring for hair health.

  • Personal consultation to define your desired lift and curl pattern.
  • Hair elasticity and porosity check for suitability.
  • Custom wrap on the top/crown section with tailored rod sizes and directions.
  • Modern, condition-focused waving lotion with precise timing.
  • Neutralising, gentle cleanse and nourishing conditioner.
  • Blow-dry and finish to refine the shape, with at-home styling tips.
  • Personalised aftercare plan and product recommendations.

Who It's For

Perfect for fine, flat or slippery hair that loses volume quickly. If you rely on a round-brush blow-dry or rollers for lift, this service helps it last with less effort.

Ideal when you want movement through the top without changing your ends. Suits bobs to longer lengths, fringes and layered cuts. A consultation confirms suitability for coloured or highlighted hair.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The perm service typically takes 30-45 minutes for the top section. Allow a little extra time on your first visit for consultation and finishing.

If you add a cut or colour, your overall appointment will be longer. We will guide you on the best order of services for your goals.

Aftercare & Maintenance

For the first 48 hours, avoid washing, tying tightly or using heavy clips. Sleep with hair loose to set the new shape.

Use a sulphate-free shampoo, a light conditioner on mid-lengths and ends, and a heat protectant. Style with a wide-tooth comb, a small amount of volumising foam and low heat or a diffuser.

Book a tidy trim every 6-8 weeks. Expect to refresh the top-section perm around 8-12 weeks, depending on hair type, growth and home care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a half head/top section perm do?
It targets the top and crown to add root lift and soft texture. Your lengths remain natural, so the result looks effortless and supports your usual blow-dry.
How long will the effect last?
Expect around 8-12 weeks on the top section, depending on hair type, home care and growth rate. We will advise a refresh plan during your appointment.
Will a perm damage my hair?
The service uses modern formulas and controlled timing. We check elasticity first, tailor the wrap to your hair, and guide you on aftercare to keep it feeling healthy.
Can I have this if my hair is coloured or highlighted?
Often yes, provided the hair is in good condition. We will assess in consultation and may adapt the technique or suggest alternatives if hair is very lightened or fragile.
How should I style it afterwards?
Wait 48 hours before washing or tying. Use a wide-tooth comb, a light volumising foam and low heat or a diffuser, and avoid heavy oils at the roots to maintain lift.
