Everything from hair length, perm style, and even the amount of hair you want to perm can impact the final price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The perming process involves your hairstylist applying some chemicals to your hair, using perm rods and heat to create the curl, then applying another chemical to help your hair hold its new shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds simple, but the skill and knowledge needed to safely perm your hair comes at a cost. Not to mention the many other methods out there that vary in results and price. The big hair you might remember from the \u201870s and \u201880s aren\u2019t the only looks you can get from a perm. Modern perms can create loose waves and different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/perm-rod-sizes\/?utm_campaign=how_much_is_perm&amp;utm_content=curl_sizes&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=wordpress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">curl sizes<\/a> for a more natural look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This all raises two big questions: How much is a perm supposed to cost and how will you know if you\u2019re getting the most value out of your appointment? With our guide, we\u2019ll walk you through everything there is to know about perms, cost, and what you can expect before you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=home&amp;utm_content=book_your_perm_appointment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book your perm appointment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-are-perms-for-different-hair-lengths\">How much are perms for different hair lengths?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perms for short hair can cost $30 to $150, medium-length hair can cost $60 to $200, and perms for long hair can cost $80 to $400. Short hair is the least expensive since it uses the least amount of product and the least amount of time to prep and install the perm rods. On the other hand, long hair requires more time, product, and attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Hair length<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Perm cost<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Short<\/td><td>$30 to $150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Medium<\/td><td>$60 to $200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Long<\/td><td>$80 to $400<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-your-hair-need-to-be-for-a-perm\">How long does your hair need to be for a perm?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perms need a couple of inches of hair so it can wrap around the perm rods to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/what-is-the-curly-girl-method\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=curly_girl&amp;utm_content=form_your_curls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">form your curls<\/a>. Really short hair can limit the styles you can achieve. For example, long hair is best if you want waves since you\u2019ll have more hair to create them. It\u2019s not easy to create soft waves with short hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-you-a-good-candidate-for-a-perm\">Are you a good candidate for a perm?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best candidates for perms have some length and healthy hair. The ideal hair length and healthiness depends on your desired style. Other factors, like your lifestyle, can also help you decide if a perm can work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few questions to answer to see if you\u2019re a good perm candidate:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How often do you swim in chlorinated water? <\/strong>Chlorine can damage permed hair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How often do you bleach or color your hair?<\/strong> Your hair may not be able to handle the chemicals from a perm if you\u2019ve recently treated it with other chemicals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you have layers?<\/strong> You may need to grow out your hair or pay more for the extra effort needed to perm your different hair lengths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What\u2019s your hair texture and length?<\/strong> Some hair lengths and textures may need additional services before a stylist can give you a perm.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, ask your stylist beforehand so they can take a closer look at your hair and determine what they can realistically achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip.jpg\" alt=\"person with brown curly hair wearing a denim jacket and striped shirt, graphic tip explaining a person should get a stylist consultation to see if they\u2019re a good candidate for a perm\" class=\"wp-image-10889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-856x543.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-1140x723.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-1536x975.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-600x381.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-appointment-tip-1024x650.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-different-perming-methods\">What are the different perming methods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perming methods include acid, alkaline, digital, exothermic, dual action, and organic. These methods differ based on the types of chemicals used (if any), when they\u2019re applied, and how they affect hair to create a curl. The complexity, technique, and tools needed for these methods also impact the cost. We\u2019ll cover these methods more in-depth below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Acid or hot perms<\/strong> use the acidic chemical glyceryl monothioglycolate to break down the disulfide bonds in your hair. Heat is then used to create your curls\u2019 shape. This method takes longer to set and is gentler on hair than other methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alkaline or cold perms<\/strong> use a lotion or solution with ammonium thioglycolate to form your curls without using heat. Curls last longer with this method but aren\u2019t recommended for weak or thinning hair.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myhairdressers.com\/blog\/digital-perm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Digital perms<\/strong><\/a> rely on digital perm rods that allow stylists to control the heat level. These are great for tight and defined curls, but the rods are expensive and come with a high appointment cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sallybeauty.com\/FAQ_PERMS_03.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Exothermic perms<\/strong><\/a> use acid or alkaline to create chemical heat. This opens the hair shaft and allows your stylist to curl your hair. This method is great for hair that\u2019s resistant to other methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dual-action perms<\/strong> first soften and smooth hair before perm rods are applied. Your stylist will then use a weak alkaline solution to help with the curling process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplyorganicbeauty.com\/organic-salon-products\/oway\/organic-perm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Organic perms<\/strong><\/a> use natural oils and other non-chemical solutions to create curls.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-are-different-perm-styles\">How much are different perm styles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perm styles can range from $40 to $800. This wide range is thanks to the many different techniques and looks available. Styles like a spiral perm, beach wave, and stacked perm all require different techniques and come at very different costs. We\u2019ve recapped the cost ranges of common perm styles below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Perm style<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Root<\/td><td>$30-$80<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spot or partial<\/td><td>$30-$100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Volumizing<\/td><td>$40-$150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Body wave<\/td><td>$40-$200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beach wave<\/td><td>$40-$200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stacked or multi-textured<\/td><td>$40-$250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/permanent-hair-straightening-cost\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=permanent_hair_straight_cost&amp;utm_content=straight\">Straight<\/a><\/td><td>$30-$400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spiral<\/td><td>$45-$200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weave perm<\/td><td>$70-$110<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/types-of-perms\/?utm_campaign=how_much_is_a_perm&amp;utm_content=types_of_perms&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=wordpress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of perms<\/a>, and some stylists use different names for the same type of perm. We\u2019ll go over popular styles below so you can get an idea of what you might like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Straight perms <\/strong>will permanently straighten your hair instead of curling it. This is sometimes called a reverse perm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/beauty-skin-care\/japanese-hair-straightening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese straight perm<\/a>, or a Korean magic perm. Your stylist will apply a solution to break down the bonds in your hair, flat iron it, then apply a neutralizer to help your hair hold its new shape. If you&#8217;d rather nix the chemicals, you can consider alternatives. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-much-is-silk-press\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_much_silk_press&amp;utm_content=cost_of_a_silk_press\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of a silk press<\/a>, a straightening service that doesn&#8217;t use chemicals, is typically lower than a straight perm. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spiral perms <\/strong>create tight and bouncy curls of different lengths and sizes for a natural look. Stylists typically use a cold perm solution for this look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Body wave perms<\/strong> create soft waves that aren\u2019t as bouncy or high maintenance as tight curls. Big rods are placed throughout the hair to create natural-looking waves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beach wave perms <\/strong>look similar to the tousled waves you get after a beach day. This look works great on people with long hair who want something low maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelist.com\/426059\/everything-to-know-before-getting-a-stack-perm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Stack\/multi-textured perms<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>use a stack of perm rods to create your curls. This perm doesn\u2019t need much styling or maintenance and can start at the middle or ends of your hair.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Volumizing perms<\/strong> are achieved by taking the perm rods out before adding the neutralizer. This results in soft waves and more volume. This look typically lasts a couple of months at most.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/behindthechair.com\/articles\/well-this-looks-interesting-root-perms-for-volume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Root perms<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>use cold perming to perm hair at the roots and create volume. It doesn\u2019t use as much perm solution or neutralizer compared to other methods, but does require some maintenance. It works best on shorter hair since the weight from long hair can pull the roots straight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spot, partial, or plain curl perms <\/strong>are great if you have sections of thin hair or want extra volume in specific spots. It\u2019s low maintenance and can work with tight or loose curls. You can achieve this look with either a hot or cold perm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sallybeauty.com\/FAQ_PERMS_08.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Weave perms<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>give you waves and body throughout your hair to give it more volume.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still not sure about which type of perm you want, you can always bring in a few inspiration photos or select a few that you like from your stylist\u2019s portfolio. Your stylist should walk you through the process, any chemicals used, how it will affect your hair, and how much it will cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-else-can-affect-a-perm-s-price\">What else can affect a perm\u2019s price?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of hair length, perming method, and style, other factors like your location and your hair\u2019s current condition can affect your perm\u2019s final cost.

Keep in mind that one person\u2019s perm may not turn out exactly the same on your own hair. Hair history, density, texture, and health all play a role in your perm\u2019s final look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-is-a-perm-for-men-or-kids\">How much is a perm for men or kids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men\u2019s and kids\u2019 perms can also range from $30 to $800, since the cost will still vary depending on factors like hair length and desired style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-are-chemical-perms-in-different-states\">How much are chemical perms in different states?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chemical perms in particular range from $45 to $120, according to our internal appointment data.

Here are a few perks of getting a perm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saves time<\/strong> from manually curling your hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customized curls or waves<\/strong> that fit the look you want<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hair gets more volume and body<\/strong> from the extra curls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care.jpg\" alt=\"person with light brown curly hair holding head down to dry hair with a blow dryer and diffuser attachment\" class=\"wp-image-10892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perm-care-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-drawbacks-of-getting-a-perm\">What are the drawbacks of getting a perm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perms can damage your hair, take extra effort afterward to maintain, and require you to change other parts of your lifestyle to maintain your curls. Consider these cons while you\u2019re deciding whether a perm is a good move for you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perms dry out and damage hair<\/strong>, thus requiring more moisturizing and conditioning than you may already do<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Some perm styles require styling<\/strong> to look their best<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cold perm solutions <\/strong>don\u2019t smell great<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You may need to skip hair coloring and other hair treatments<\/strong> for a few months since your hair is in a damaged state<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-worth-it-to-get-a-professional-perm\">Is it worth it to get a professional perm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional perm is worth the extra cost since you\u2019re paying for your stylist\u2019s skill and expertise. A stylist can keep your hair safe since they have experience handling perming chemicals and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can even advise you on the best type of perm for your hair or give you advice if your hair isn\u2019t healthy enough for a perm. After your appointment, a stylist should also give you product and care recommendations to keep your curls intact and your hair as healthy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DIY perms can be disastrous if you don\u2019t have the right size rollers, don\u2019t know how to place them, don\u2019t have the right perming solution, or if your hair isn\u2019t strong enough to handle a perm. You\u2019ll need to do a lot of prep to understand how each method works and how you can potentially achieve your dream style. It can also be tough to curl the parts of your hair you can\u2019t easily see or reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm.jpg\" alt=\"person with light brown hair with hair rollers and clips all throughout their hair\" class=\"wp-image-10894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/perks-of-a-professional-perm-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the service to skimp out on since excessive amounts of chemicals and heat can harm your hair and scalp. You can also get stuck with a look that you don\u2019t like if you or your stylist doesn\u2019t do a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price ranges you find here can greatly differ from what you might find in your search. Perms are a customized service and cost can fluctuate based on the combination of multiple factors. It\u2019s worth taking the extra time to research different types of perms and local stylists before you sit down in anyone\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start your search, look through reviews and prices in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/search?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=search&amp;utm_content=community_of_hairstylists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">community of hairstylists<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perms are a gorgeous long-term look that can last long after your first appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10888,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,88],"tags":[89],"class_list":["post-10887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hair","category-styling","tag-womens-cut"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Much Is a Perm?
