Advice About First Perm?

A woman taking a picture in a mirror.Help me please please please! This is my first ever perm, and I am so sad and disappointed. I got my perm yesterday and it started to look like this just a few hours after leaving the salon. I'm thinking about going in today and asking her about it but it's appointment only and I don't think I want her to redo it. Heavily on my mind: washing it out before the 48 hours and getting a refund? What do yall think. Also the first three are the morning after pictures and the blue T-shirt ones are a few hours later.

First: If you have not followed the directions provided by the salon, I do not believe they will have any responsibility to redo/fix your failed perm and certainly not to give you a refund.
You need to call the manager of the salon and provide information about your perm and make an appointment for them to see the problem.

They should be able to look at your hair and review what was done; what products were used and decide what best course to take to hopefully correct the problem.

Do not wait - make an appointment as soon as possible.

I think that in such cases, you certainly need to go back the hairdresser who permed you as soon as possible. If you don't want her to fix it, then at least get refund. But informing the hairdresser is important so that she understands that she is doing something wrong. Then, I hope, this will not happen again with another client.
I can imagine how upset you were. You can read a lot of tips here: www.thriftyfun.com/Permed-Hair-Not-Curly-Enough-1.html

Marianalove your name,a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Being that this thread was posted more than two weeks ago, I'm curious of what action you took and the results. For anyone that may come to experience, a similar issue, here's my advice. First and foremost, it appears that you received a simple perm. I'm not sure if you had the spiral or traditional perm rod. It appears to be the spiral,but I'm just guessing. Waiting a few days before doing anything to your hair ,especially not washing it, is crucial. At this stage, your hair is in shock.To help you hair to take to the perm you need to do a rinse of apple cider vinegar mixed with an equal part of water, and leave it alone.After your hair has had a few days to chill out & recover ,and you go to style it, you should not brush it with a brush, rather you should use a wide hair pick and pick it, to prevent it from being too frizzy. You'll need a good styling mousse dedicated for curly hair and and apply by scrunching it into your hair, helping to train your hair and only using a diffuser hair dryer, if any. Also avoid over-washing and just use a leave in conditioner spray for refreshing and eliminating frizz.If you're looking for more curly or fuller look for your hair, you would need to have your hair cut in layers prior to perming or using traditional perm rods that are rolled in a piggyback style fashion before applying permanent solution.

If you have hard to perm hair, which many people do, after your perm solution is applied and rinsed out, adding a last step of rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar and water solution does wonders for helping your hair adhere to the perm. After some time, receiving a second perm would help to convince your hair, it's curly now. Along with a little more insight on how you want your hair to turn out, with more detailed instructions understood by your stylist, just may promote a more desirable result. So to the beautiful Mariana, and one's that may be facing the perm nightmare, try not to be discouraged and don't try to wash it out , you'll just have more of a frizzy mess with no direction. You really can't undo a perm; hence that's why it's called... a permanent. Just takes alot of time and patience.--Niki

You should call and tell the owner of the salon what is going on. Either they fix it, or they will give you a refund. Please do not try to fix it yourself.

If you aren't satisfied w/ your perm, you should definitely call and let your hair stylist know. It may be that your hair just needs a slight trim.

Sometimes it takes getting used to it, when you've never had a perm before.
