Permanent Wave Christchurch
Thoughtfully placed movement for hair that needs body, shape or a new texture story.
A permanent wave can add soft body, defined curl or movement that supports the shape of your haircut. At Salon Be, our Christchurch stylists take a considered approach to permanent waving, starting with the condition of your hair and the kind of texture you want to wear every day.
A modern approach to permanent waving
The result depends on much more than roller size. Hair length, density, existing layers, previous colour and natural movement all influence the curl pattern and final silhouette. We will talk through your reference images, explain what is realistic for your hair and recommend a cut that helps the new texture sit well.
Permanent waves for short hair start from $120, while long-hair services start from $160. These are guide prices; the final quote reflects the time, product and technique required. Hair with a complex lightening or chemical history may need a different plan, which is why consultation matters.
Plan for the finished texture
Once your service is complete, your stylist will show you how to encourage the curl pattern, reduce unnecessary frizz and choose a drying approach that suits the result. We will also discuss maintenance and when the shape may need refreshing. If you are considering a perm after years of straight styling, a consultation is the best place to explore the possibilities without pressure.
