## Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alkaline perm?

An alkaline perm uses ammonium thioglycolate to create firm, long-lasting curls, especially effective on coarse or resistant hair types.

Who is it best for?

Men and women with thick, straight, or long hair who want a tighter curl pattern or more defined, voluminous style.

How long does it last?

Typically 3–6 months depending on your hair type, care routine, and styling habits.

Will it damage my hair?

Not when done professionally. We'll assess your hair’s condition beforehand and recommend pre- or post-care treatments if needed.
