A short hair perm gives lasting curl or wave, adding texture, lift and easier day to day styling. In one appointment, your hair is set on perm rods, processed and neutralised to lock in the new shape, then finished so you can see how the curl sits on your cut.
More information
What a short hair perm appointment includes
A short hair perm is about creating controlled movement that suits a cropped cut, bob or short layers.
- Quick consultation on the curl type you want, your current cut, and how you normally style your hair.
- Selection of rod size and placement to create the right curl pattern for short lengths.
- Sectioning and setting on rods, then applying perm solution and neutraliser to fix the curl.
- Rinse, condition and finish styling so you can see definition, bounce and shape.
- Practical aftercare guidance, including how long to leave it before washing and the best way to refresh curls.
- Product usage is based on hair length and thickness. If extra solution is needed, additional product may be charged.
Short hair perm results that work with your cut
Short hair shows shape quickly, so the goal is a curl pattern that sits neatly and grows out well. A perm can:
- Add root lift to flat short styles.
- Create a soft wave to break up a blunt bob.
- Give consistent texture through short layers so styling takes less time.
- Help curls hold their shape without daily heat styling.
How the perm is created in a 75 minute service
Timing can vary depending on hair density and how quickly your hair processes. The main stages are setting, processing, neutralising, then drying and finishing to check the curl.
Looking after your perm so it stays defined
Curls settle over the first few days. You will get the best longevity by avoiding rough towel drying, using a moisturising shampoo and conditioner, and styling with a curl cream or foam rather than heavy oils.
