Is a Perm Right for My Hair?
Who gets great results, who should wait, and questions to ask before booking.

Good candidates
- Healthy hair with no major breakage or extreme dryness.
- Clear goal — more curl, wave, or straightness you can maintain at home.
- Realistic timing — longer hair and complex goals need longer appointments.
When to wait or consult first
- Recent bleach or heavy color in the last 2–4 weeks — hair may be too fragile.
- Severe damage, chemical straightening history, or scalp irritation.
- Uncertain which permanent service you need — book a consultation or ask on WhatsApp.
At Taper Shop we assess hair in person before any permanent service. If a treatment is needed first, we will recommend our hair treatment add-on to prep your hair.
