More information

What's Included

A focused, technique-led perm for short hair, designed for a natural, manageable finish.

  • Personal consultation to choose your curl type, volume and maintenance level.
  • Cleanse and prep for even results.
  • Custom wrap for short hair using rod sizes and placement to suit your cut and root lift goals.
  • Protective products to care for scalp and lengths.
  • Controlled processing with regular checks.
  • Rinse, neutralise and condition to lock in shape.
  • Diffuse or smooth finish, with styling tips and product recommendations.

Who It's For

Perfect if your short hair feels flat and needs lasting lift, body or texture. Ideal for bobs, crops and pixie cuts where you want more movement and easier styling.

A strong choice for fine or straight hair that drops quickly after blow-drying. Also suits busy routines, gym or yoga lifestyles, and anyone wanting an effortless, professionally finished look.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 45 minutes for a short hair perm, including consultation and finish. Very dense hair or a highly defined curl may need a little longer.

If you are adding a cut, please book extra time. If your hair is previously coloured or delicate, your stylist may suggest a strand test before proceeding. Arrive with clean, product-light hair and bring inspiration photos.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Do not wash for 48 hours after your perm. Avoid tight clips or bands, and let the new curl settle.

At home, use sulphate-free shampoo, a hydrating conditioner and a weekly mask. Blot dry, detangle with a wide-tooth comb, then apply a light curl cream or mousse. Air-dry or diffuse on low heat with a heat protector.

Book trims every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the shape fresh. Most clients refresh their perm around 8 to 12 weeks, depending on hair type and finish. If you plan colour, keep it at least a week away from your perm to protect condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my short hair perm last?
Most short hair perms last 8 to 12 weeks, depending on hair type, cut and home care. As your hair grows, the texture softens, so your stylist will choose rod size and wrap to keep the result balanced.
Will a perm damage my hair?
Modern formulas and care-focused techniques help protect your hair. Your stylist will assess suitability and may recommend a strand test if hair is coloured or fragile.
Can I choose between soft waves and tighter curls?
Yes. Your curl pattern is customised through rod size, wrap and processing time. Bring photos of your ideal finish and we will match it to your haircut.
How should I prepare before the appointment?
Arrive with clean, product-light hair and avoid heavy masks 24 hours before. Skip tight bands or clips on the day, and tell us about any recent colour or chemical services.
How do I look after my perm at home?
Wait 48 hours before washing. Use sulphate-free shampoo, hydrating conditioner and a curl cream or mousse, and diffuse on low heat. Book trims every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain shape.
