An Acid Perm is a gentler perming option, formulated closer to the hair’s natural pH level. This makes it ideal for clients with coloured, highlighted, or more delicate hair. It creates soft waves or natural springy curls with less risk of damage. Suitable for men and women, the result is subtle, flexible movement that looks and feels natural. A perfect choice for those seeking texture without the intensity of a tighter curl. (Longer or thicker hair may incur a surcharge)

Absolutely superb! From start to finish, welcoming, friendly, took time to explain options, gave advice, the skin fade cut was spot on and the perm looks incredible! Nicki and both staff took time to talk to us help out and make us feel so welcome (Team work) Lauren thank you what a happy client! My son is a fussy lad when it comes to his hair and he’s blown away! We are booked in to come back. Thank you for the added laughter too 🫶🏼

Can men have an acid perm?
Absolutely. Acid perms work well for anyone looking for a softer texture or gentle wave without tight curls.
