Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Perm / Bodywave – Master Artist.

We assess hair condition, porosity, and previous chemical history during a consultation. Most hair types can be permed with the Master Artist's approach, though severely damaged or overly porous hair may require rebuilding treatments or a patch test first.

Typical results last three to six months depending on hair growth, texture, and aftercare. Regular trims, sulfate-free products, and bond-strengthening treatments extend curl life. Touch-up appointments can refresh roots or reshape the pattern as hair grows.

A full appointment includes consultation, strand test, perm solution application, rod placement, processing, neutralizing, and conditioning. Timing varies by length and hair condition but typically takes two to three hours for a full-body perm with Master Artist precision.

Yes, often possible after a professional assessment. Recent bleaching or compromised hair may require waiting four to six weeks or rebuilding treatments first. We perform strand and elasticity tests to determine safety and recommend the gentlest approach.

Avoid washing for 48 hours, use sulfate-free cleansers, and apply bond-repair treatments as recommended. Sleep on silk, diffuse dry on low heat, and schedule periodic maintenance to preserve curl definition and prevent premature loosening.

Master Artists can create tighter curls, but results depend on hair length, elasticity, and prior chemical services. Tighter textures may require stronger rods or staged services to protect integrity. A consultation and test curl will confirm an achievable, healthy outcome.
