My son is 8 and wanted his new found favorite hairstyle; a perm at the top and to have the perm blended into a shave underneath. Nice cut curls. Nice form. Tight bouncy curls. Big volume. Just exactly what he had at his previous appointments. His hair is luckily amazing with perms so I was not hesitant about getting it done at this new salon, even with the hairdresser telling me the curls won’t last. I kept reminding her last perm was done last February and it is the end of august now, and he still has a slight wave and volume from it. Well, I should have listened to her - it’s not the perms though, it was her horrible work!! The only good thing I have to say about this salon is she took us in when we were lost and a little late. Other than that, I would give this a -1000/5. She told me how the hair has to wrap twice around the rod. I said that was incorrect because I was in hair school not long ago (but left because it was to cliche for me) and I did and older lady’s perm whose hair did not even wrap once around the rod. Instead of it being a conversation, she rudely said ‘why don’t you do it then?’ Right then and there I knew I was making a mistake. A clearly lazy hairdresser with a very an unprofessional and immature attitude. Soon it was couple of hours later and my son’s hair looked like a 12 year old did it. The ‘curls’ - if you can even call them that - look like it is a perm that is on its way to needing to get another one done again! Most of the hair is not even PERMED at all! There is NO blending whatsoever, it is not even done properly where she shaved it! It is completely chopped up. It is absolutely the worst perm/cut hair I’ve ever seen! My son even said he could tell that the rods were sitting very loose on his head! If an 8 year old can tell the difference, then it has to be VERY noticeable!! I am even more angry about this because this is supposed to be for the beginning of school and school pictures! And she can’t even say it is because of his age because he was 7 when he got his first perm and it looked absolutely stunning! Perfection. I was hoping to find a new hairdresser for his hair since we moved out here but I won’t be risking throwing away my money again. I will drive the 2 hours to get it done properly!! I took the pictures when my son was sleeping so he doesn’t feel so bad about it! Such a disaster!!! This was JUST done and there is NO curl. She should have used the smallest rods for his WHOLE HEAD. And TIGHT! That is the most important rule about perms - make them TIGHT! The photos I posted do not even do justice as to how horrible this perm was done! It is much worse when you can see the whole thing in person! Like where are the CURLS?!! An absolute disgrace. I can not say one good thing about this perm/cut. I would not recommend this salon even if it was 0.01$ for a cut and perm! I would not even call this a ‘perm’!! It is an angry, lazy old lady that was mad at my comment and it shows in her work. My son now has to go to his new school with a hair job that he could have done 100x better, and I have to get this disaster fixed before school pictures somehow…
