Types of Perms Offered

Linda offers a range of modern perm styles to suit every hair type and goal.

Body Wave Perm

Delivers gentle curls with flexibility and shine. Ideal for medium to long hair that benefits from texture and movement.

Spiral Perm

Uses long rods to produce defined, cascading curls with dimension and drama. Works beautifully for longer lengths.

Root Lift Perm

Focuses on the crown area to add volume and height at the roots, great for shorter styles or flat roots.

Customized Perm Services

Linda adjusts the wrapping pattern, rod size, and solution strength to your specific needs. Whether you prefer loose waves or tighter curls, every perm is personalized for comfort, style, and hair health.

Why Choose a Professional Perm

Perms are both technical and artistic. Achieving even curl formation while maintaining healthy, shiny hair requires knowledge and precision.



At Chic Cuts By Linda, every perm is approached with care:


  • Customized formulas suited to your hair’s texture and previous color history.
  • Controlled processing to avoid overexposure or dryness.
  • Protective treatments to rebuild strength and prevent frizz.
  • Styling and maintenance guidance to help you enjoy your new texture long-term.


Linda’s decades of experience ensure safe, reliable results every time.

Maintaining Your Perm

Proper care is key to keeping your curls or waves soft and defined.



Aftercare recommendations:


  • Avoid shampooing for 48 hours after your perm to allow the new pattern to set.
  • Use sulfate-free, moisture-rich shampoo and conditioner.
  • Apply curl-enhancing or hydrating products to define shape and reduce frizz.
  • Limit excessive heat styling and always use a diffuser when blow-drying.
  • Schedule trims every 6–8 weeks to keep ends healthy and prevent tangling.


Linda also provides product suggestions to help preserve bounce, elasticity, and shine between appointments.

Who Can Benefit from a Perm?

Perms are not just for one hair type or age group — they’re ideal for anyone who wants more movement and texture.



A perm might be right for you if:


  • Your hair is fine or lacks volume.
  • You want soft, beachy waves or defined curls.
  • You struggle to hold curl with traditional styling tools.
  • You’re seeking a lower-maintenance styling routine.


Linda will evaluate your hair’s condition to ensure it’s strong enough for chemical restructuring. She may recommend treatments or conditioning sessions beforehand to prepare your hair for the best results.

What Is a Perm and How Does It Work?

A perm, short for “permanent wave,” reshapes your hair’s natural structure using professional solutions and specialized rods or wraps. When performed correctly, it gives lasting curl, wave, or volume while maintaining hair health and manageability.



At Chic Cuts By Linda, the process is carefully controlled and customized to your hair’s texture and condition. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty — not overpower it.

Consultation and hair analysis

Assessing strength, elasticity, and previous chemical services.

Wrapping technique

Hair is sectioned and wrapped using rods chosen for the desired curl size.

Solution application

A gentle waving lotion softens the hair’s structure for reshaping.

Processing and rinsing

Hair is monitored carefully to ensure even curl formation.

Neutralization

This step locks the new curl pattern in place.

Finishing and styling

The new texture is styled and shaped to highlight movement and shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a perm last?

    Most perms last between three and six months, depending on hair type and aftercare.

    Yes, in many cases. Linda uses gentle, professional solutions designed for color-treated hair, but an assessment is done first to ensure safety.

  • Will a perm make my hair frizzy?

    When done properly and cared for with moisturizing products, a perm should enhance texture and shine, not cause frizz.

  • How long does the appointment take?

    A typical perm appointment lasts two to three hours, depending on length and density.

  • Can I style my hair right after getting a perm?
