Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Relaxers/Perms.

Results vary with hair type, maintenance, and products used. Generally, perm or relaxer effects last between three to six months, with touch-ups recommended for new growth and to maintain consistent texture. Proper aftercare extends longevity.

We assess condition before service. For color-treated or damaged hair, our stylists recommend strengthening treatments, strand tests, and gentler formulas. In some cases, we may delay service until hair recovers or suggest alternative styling to prevent further damage.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy product buildup. Avoid chemical services two weeks prior. Bring photos of desired results. Our stylist may perform a consultation and strand test to customize technique and ensure safe, predictable results.

Minimal downtime—most clients resume normal activities immediately. Avoid washing hair for 48-72 hours if advised, use sulfate-free shampoos, deep condition weekly, and limit heat styling. Follow salon's tailored aftercare plan and book follow-up trims or touch-ups as recommended.

Relaxers typically permanently alter curl structure until new growth appears, while perms reshape hair semi-permanently. Results depend on technique and hair health. Our stylists explain expected permanence and maintenance during consultation to match your long-term styling goals.

If applied improperly or on overly weakened hair, chemical processes can cause breakage. Our gentle, non-harsh approach, thorough consultations, and conditioning protocols minimize risk. We may recommend pre-treatment strengthening and regular maintenance to protect hair integrity.
