Got a perm done here. Spent 2 weeks making my hair in good enough condition for it to take the perm. The stylist, after doing the cold perm, brushed my hair with a regular brush(!), blow dried it(!!), and then took a hot curling iron to it(!!!). These are three big no-nos for curly or permed hair. I asked if this should be done, as my hair was showing signs of breakage from just the perm chemical treatment.
After voicing these concerns to the stylist, she countered that I didn't know how perms worked, and they don't make hair curly at all(???), but rather just add body, and she "tried to talk you out of it a couple of weeks ago."
Perhaps this stylist assumed that since I wasn't alive in the 70's and 80's, I wouldn't understand how perms work.
If my hair was still too unhealthy for a perm, please just say no. If the perm didn't "take" and just damaged my hair, please just let me know. Don't insult your customer for being unhappy with their hair after asking if they like it or not.
Overall I am very disappointed in my hair and the experience I had at this salon. Perhaps if I just needed a simple cut or styling done, this would be my go-to place. I believe this website should stop advertising that they do perms at all, when it's clear that their staff is at best, ignorant of how permed hair is to be taken care of. I still have not seen one curly hair on my head. Read Less
