Modern perms are nothing like the tight, crunchy curls of the past. Instead, at The Refinery Hair Lounge, we create soft, natural curls that fit your style. Want beachy waves, more body, or defined spirals? We can do that.
Today’s perms use gentler formulas and new wrapping methods. As a result, the look is lived-in and easy. Plus, we use pro products that keep curls soft, bouncy, and hydrated.
First, our stylists look at your hair type and goals. Then we pick the rod size, wrap style, and timing just for you. The result feels like you.
Perms work great for fine or flat hair that needs volume. They also cut daily heat styling. In fact, men can get perms too!
Good results start with a consult. We set real goals and give you clear care tips. So whether you want subtle waves or bold curls, we guide you through it all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Perms last 3-6 months. However, curls relax slowly over time. Also, as your hair grows, roots stay straight. Root perms or touch-ups can fix that. Plus, sulfate-free products and deep conditioning help your curls last longer.
Modern perms are gentler than old ones, but perming is still a chemical process. That’s why we use pro products and custom timing to protect your hair. If your hair is already damaged, we’ll tell you if a perm is a good fit—or suggest another option.
Plan for 2-4 hours. However, it depends on your hair length, thickness, and perm type. For example, beach waves on short hair take less time. On the other hand, spiral perms on long, thick hair take more. We’ll give you a time estimate at your consult.
We don’t suggest it because two chemical processes can stress your hair. Instead, color first, then wait at least two weeks before perming. If you need both, we’ll plan a timeline that keeps your hair healthy.
Beach wave perms give soft, tousled waves. Body perms add volume and are great for fine hair. Spiral perms create corkscrew curls. Root perms lift only at the crown. Finally, digital perms use heat for shinier curls. We’ll help you pick the right one.
First, wait 48 hours to shampoo. Then use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Also, deep condition weekly. Skip heat tools when you can, but use protectant if you must. Finally, scrunch in curl cream while damp, then air dry or diffuse. Sleep on satin to cut frizz.
Yes! Men’s perms are popular for adding texture or beachy waves. For example, short hair uses smaller rods. Meanwhile, medium hair has more options. It’s the same process as women’s perms—just tailored to your hair.
