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.

• Beach Wave Perm → effortless, undone texture

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