Be open to traveling outside of your neighborhood if the local hairstylists are not up to your standard.
Start your salon or hairdresser search by asking around for word-of-mouth recommendations.
If you like what you see, book a consultation to further the discussion before making a commitment.
If you already have a stylist you trust, initiate the conversation at your next haircut appointment.
The condition of your hair prior to beginning will determine the success of your end result.
The more specific you are about your hair goals and desires, the better.
Show your stylist photos, and ask if the results are achievable with a perm.
Good perms take a few hours.
A qualified salon stylist will take the time to properly prep, process, and finish the service.
Curly hair requires different products and care than straight hair and understanding your new texture will take time.
Ask your stylist for product recommendations and styling tips to get the most out of your new look.
