What Is A Perm?

A perm (permanent wave) is a treatment that restructures the hair to create curls, waves, or added body.

At Dolce Vita, we focus on:

  • Soft waves (not tight curls unless requested)
  • Natural movement
  • Volume at the root + throughout
  • Low-maintenance, lived-in texture

Your perm is fully customized—no two are the same.

What Types Of Perms Do We Offer?

  • Body Wave Perm → soft, loose waves + volume
  • Beach Wave Perm → effortless, undone texture
  • Root Perm → lift and fullness at the base
  • Spiral / Defined Curl Perm → more structured curls
  • Men’s Perms → texture, movement, modern styling

We design your perm based on your face shape, hair type, and daily routine.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

  • Appointment time: 2–3 hours
  • Includes consultation, wrapping, processing, and styling

This is a transformational service that delivers long-lasting results.

How Long Does A Perm Last?
