Men’s Perms FAQ – Perth
Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Perms
At Dale James & Co we are seeing more men than ever embracing modern perms for texture, movement and easy styling.
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about men’s perms.

What Is A Men’s Perm?
How Long Does A Men’s Perm Last?
They can range from loose movement and body through to stronger curls and textured styles.

Are Men’s Perms Popular Again?
Yes — men’s perms have made a huge comeback worldwide.
Modern textured hairstyles, Korean-inspired hair trends and social media have all helped bring perms back into fashion for men wanting fuller, more stylish hair.

What Does A Modern Men’s Perm Look Like?
Modern men’s perms are far softer and more natural looking than perms from the past.
Today’s techniques focus on:
•    movement
•    texture
•    volume
•    natural-looking curls
•    effortless styling
Every perm is customised depending on the haircut, hair type and desired result.

How Long Does A Men’s Perm Last?
Most men’s perms last approximately 3 to 5 months depending on:
•    hair type
•    haircut
•    home care
•    hair growth
•    styling routine
The curl will gradually soften over time rather than suddenly disappear.

Will A Perm Damage My Hair?
When performed professionally and combined with the correct home care, modern perms can maintain healthy-looking hair.
At Dale James & Co we always assess the condition of the hair before perming and customise the service to protect the integrity of the hair as much as possible.

Can Fine Hair Have A Perm?
Absolutely.
Perms are often excellent for fine or flat hair because they can create:
•    body
•    fullness
•    texture
•    movement
Many men find their hair appears thicker and easier to style after a perm.

How Long Does A Men’s Perm Appointment Take?
Most men’s perm appointments take approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on:
•    hair length
•    haircut
•    perm style
•    hair thickness

Can I Still Style My Hair After A Perm?
Yes.
A modern perm is designed to make styling easier, not harder.
Many clients find they need less styling time because the hair already has movement and texture built into it.

Do You Cut The Hair Before The Perm?
In most cases, yes.
The haircut is extremely important because it helps shape the final result of the perm.
At Dale James & Co we customise both the haircut and perm together to create a balanced, wearable look.

•    texture perms
•    body perms
