The step-by-step process
A Men's Full Perm at our Marietta salon follows a repeatable sequence: we begin with a shampoo, then wrap hair on Bendi rods or perm rods to set the curl pattern. A perm solution is applied and left to process for about 20 minutes, followed by a thorough rinse, application of a neutralizer, and several rinses to finish the chemical steps.
Appointments for this service are scheduled for 150 MINUTES; hair length and thickness influence actual chair time. The stylist monitors the processing and rinses carefully to protect hair condition. A $50 booking fee is collected at reservation and is applied to your final bill; the service price starts at Starting at $245.
How results are shaped
The visible curl or wave comes from the combination of rod choice (Bendi rods or perm rods), the wrapping technique, and the hair's natural length and thickness. Those factors determine curl size, uniformity and movement. Your stylist will select rod type and placement to reach a look that fits your desired curl or wave while taking hair characteristics into account.
Expect curls or waves to persist for roughly 5-6 months under normal care. Local conditions — Marietta's humid subtropical climate and outdoor, active lifestyles common here — can affect how curls settle day to day, so maintenance and styling habits will influence how the perm looks between salon visits.
Before and after care
Immediate aftercare requirement is straightforward: do not shampoo for 48 hours after the perm to allow bonds to stabilize. Beyond that, your stylist will review any routine adjustments you should make. Because the process involves chemical steps, plan to allow the full 150 MINUTES when scheduling so there’s time for consultation, processing and careful rinsing.
