Popular Perm Styles We Offer

Beach Wave Perm

Achieve soft, relaxed waves that capture a natural, sun-kissed style. Ideal for medium to long hair, a beach wave perm adds effortless movement, body, and texture for a laid-back, low-maintenance look.

Body Wave Perm

If you’re looking to add gentle volume and subtle bounce, the body wave perm is a great choice. This style creates soft, loose waves that enhance fullness without tight curls, making it perfect for fine or limp hair that needs a little lift.

Root Lift Perm

Focused at the roots, this technique is designed to add volume right where you need it most. A root lift perm is ideal for short hairstyles or guests with thinning hair who want to create lift, fullness, and structure at the base.

Spiral Perm

For defined curls with maximum texture and volume, a spiral perm delivers dramatic ringlets that hold their shape. This classic option works best on longer hair and creates a bold, structured curl pattern with lots of personality.

Multi-Textured Perm

This custom option combines different rod sizes and wrapping methods to create a varied, layered curl pattern that mimics natural curls. Perfect for medium to long hair, it adds depth, shape, and a soft, lived-in texture.

Kids and Teem perms

Our kid and teen friendly perm services are designed to be gentle, age-appropriate, and easy to manage. Whether your young guest wants extra volume, soft waves, or enhanced natural curls, our stylists take special care to ensure a comfortable experience with results they’ll love.

The Perm Experience

In-Depth Consultation

Every perm appointment begins with a detailed consultation where your stylist will assess your hair’s texture, length, condition, and overall goals. We’ll help you decide if a perm is the right choice for your lifestyle and recommend the best curl pattern or technique to create results that feel natural, easy to manage, and healthy.

Expert Perm Application

Once your plan is in place, your stylist will section and wrap the hair using rods that match your desired curl size and shape. We use high-quality, professional perm solutions that are designed to deliver long-lasting texture while maintaining the strength and integrity of your hair.

Neutralization & Conditioning Treatment

After your texture is set, we apply a neutralizing solution to lock in the curl and follow with a deep conditioning treatment using L’ANZA Healing Haircare products. This step helps nourish, hydrate, and protect your hair, leaving it soft, smooth, and full of life.

Styling & Finishing Touches

Once your perm is complete, your stylist may perform a light trim or shape to define and enhance your new curl pattern. We’ll finish with a professional style so you leave the salon with bouncy, beautiful texture that looks polished and refreshed.

At-Home Care & Curl Maintenance

Before you head out, we’ll guide you through proper at-home care, including how to cleanse, style, and protect your curls using recommended L’ANZA products. Our goal is to help you maintain healthy, defined texture between salon visits with confidence.

Popular options include beach wave perms for a tousled, low-maintenance texture, body wave perms to create subtle movement, spiral perms for tight, defined curls, and root lift perms to add volume at the base. We also offer multi-textured perms that mimic natural curl patterns using varied rod sizes and wrapping techniques.

Yes, a consultation is an important part of the perm process at JJ Wright’s Salon. We begin every perm appointment with a one-on-one consultation to assess your hair’s texture, condition, length, and overall goals.

Perms are a chemical service, so it’s important for your stylist to understand your hair history and ensure that your hair is healthy enough for processing. We’ll also help you decide on the best curl pattern or style for your hair type and lifestyle, and explain what to expect before, during, and after the appointment.

If you’re unsure whether a perm is right for you, we recommend booking a consultation before committing to the full service. This gives us time to answer your questions and create a customized plan that supports both the look you want and the health of your hair.

The longevity of a perm depends on your hair type, texture, at-home care routine, and the specific type of perm you receive. On average, most perms from JJ Wright’s Salon last between three to six months.

Tighter curl patterns, like spiral perms, often last longer, while looser textures such as beach waves or body waves may relax more quickly over time. New hair growth will not be permed, so the curl may gradually shift as your natural texture grows in. Regular trims and proper home care can help preserve the look and maintain a healthy shape.

Our team will provide guidance on how to care for your hair after your service and recommend L’ANZA products that support curl definition and long-lasting results.

In many cases, yes. You can get a perm if your hair has been colored or highlighted, but it depends on the condition of your hair and the type of color treatment you’ve had. At JJ Wright’s Salon, we assess each guest’s hair during a consultation to determine if it’s healthy enough to safely handle a perm.

Because perms are a chemical service, combining them with previously color-treated or lightened hair requires careful planning. Our experienced stylists will evaluate your hair’s porosity, elasticity, and strength before proceeding. In some cases, we may recommend conditioning or bond-repair treatments beforehand to prepare your hair and reduce the risk of damage.

We use professional-grade perm solutions and restorative L’ANZA products to protect the health of your hair throughout the process. If you have concerns about damage or compatibility with previous color, we strongly recommend a consultation prior to booking a perm service.

Proper aftercare is key to keeping your perm looking fresh and healthy. At JJ Wright’s Salon, we provide detailed at-home care instructions so you can protect and maintain your curls between appointments.

In the first 48 hours after your perm, avoid shampooing, brushing, or tying your hair up to allow the curl to fully set. Once that period has passed, use sulfate-free, curl-friendly shampoos and conditioners to preserve moisture and prevent frizz.

L’ANZA offers a range of curl-enhancing and moisture-replenishing products that we recommend for daily care. Avoid heat styling as much as possible, and when using hot tools, always apply a heat protectant. Scrunching, diffusing, and air drying are great ways to maintain curl definition.

Regular trims, deep conditioning treatments, and scalp health support can also extend the life of your perm and keep your hair looking vibrant and strong.
