Collection: Permed Hair

Permed hair in authentic vintage salon settings – sessions featuring clients who already have permanently waved or curled hair coming in for various treatments such as washing, cutting, styling, or coloring. This hair condition, resulting from a previous permanent wave, often required extra gentle handling due to its textured and more porous nature. In many cases, a fresh perm was immediately followed by a wet set on rollers to soften the tight curls and create a more natural look, while clients typically returned weekly for regular wet sets to maintain volume and style. The special appeal lies in the distinctive bounce and structure of permed strands, the detailed care needed to refresh and style the waves during routine visits, and the timeless look of permed hair in everyday salon care. These demonstrations showcase how permed hair was regularly managed and maintained in subsequent appointments, highlighting a frequent and characteristic hair state in traditional hair care from past decades.
