What Is Perm and Wave Services?
A perm uses an alkaline or acidic waving solution to break and reform the hair's internal bonds around a rod, permanently reshaping the strand into a curl, wave, or body pattern.
Why Choose Bloom Hair Studio for Perm and Wave Services
Why Choose Us
At Bloom Hair Studio, we do a thorough pre-perm assessment of your hair's elasticity and porosity - both critical in Savannah's humid environment - to select the right solution strength and processing time. This prevents over-processing and ensures your curl pattern behaves predictably as humidity levels change throughout the year.
Common Perm and Wave Services Scenarios
Fine Hair Volume
Clients with fine, limp hair that loses body by midday use a body wave to add lasting lift and movement without committing to defined ringlets or tight curls.
Beachy Wave Look
Savannah residents wanting an effortless, salt-spray wave aesthetic that holds through humidity choose a loose wrap perm using larger rods for a relaxed result.
Curl Pattern Refresh
Clients with a natural curl pattern that has relaxed or lost definition over time use a perm to restore consistent, uniform curl structure throughout their hair.
Our Perm and Wave Services Process
Elasticity and Porosity Check
Before any chemical is applied, we test a small section of hair for stretch and moisture absorption - two factors that determine which waving solution strength is appropriate for your hair.
Rod Wrapping
Hair is wrapped around rods selected by size based on your desired curl pattern - smaller rods for tighter curls, larger rods for waves and body - then the waving solution is applied.
Processing and Neutralizing
The solution processes for 15 to 25 minutes, then we rinse and apply a neutralizer to lock the new curl shape into place and stop the chemical reaction within the hair strand.
Post-Perm Conditioning
We apply a protein-based conditioner to restore moisture lost during processing and give you a personalized at-home care routine to maintain curl definition between visits.
Perm and Wave Services - Frequently Asked Questions
A professionally applied perm typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your hair's growth rate, how often you shampoo, and the products you use. In Savannah's humidity, most clients find their waves hold very well once the curl is set.
It depends on the condition of your hair. Lightly colored hair can often handle a perm, but significantly bleached or heavily highlighted hair may be too fragile. We assess elasticity at your appointment and will recommend a strengthening treatment first if needed.
Humidity affects how a curl behaves. In high humidity - which Savannah sees most of the year - curls tend to tighten slightly and frizz more without moisture-sealing products. We factor this into our rod selection and recommend curl creams formulated for humid conditions.
We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before the first shampoo after a perm. During that window, avoid putting your hair in a ponytail, using bobby pins, or getting it wet in rain or humidity, as the curl bonds are still fully stabilizing.
