Texture and Curl for Modern Adult's Styles

Faded Barbershop provides professional perm services for adults in Lincoln.

You walk in with straight or flat hair and leave with curls, waves, or added volume that changes how your hair sits and moves. Perms are not just for dramatic transformations—they work for adults in Lincoln who want more body on top, easier styling in the morning, or a textured look that holds without constant product use.

The service is customized based on your hair type, current length, and the level of curl or wave you want to achieve. Your barber applies a chemical solution that restructures the hair, then sets it using rods or wraps sized to match your desired outcome. The results last for weeks or months depending on hair growth and maintenance, and the process is popular among clients looking for a style change or added dimension without frequent upkeep.

Consult with a barber today to talk through your options and see if a perm fits your hair and routine.

How the Perm Process Works From Start to Finish

Your barber starts with a consultation to assess your hair texture, length, and condition, then recommends a perm type and rod size that will produce the curl or wave pattern you are after. The hair is washed, sectioned, and wrapped around rods or rollers, then treated with a solution that breaks down and reforms the structure of each strand.

Once the solution processes, your barber rinses it out, applies a neutralizer to lock in the new shape, and removes the rods. Your hair will have visible curl, wave, or volume depending on the method used, and the texture should feel natural once it is dried and styled. The perm typically lasts several weeks to a few months before growing out or loosening as your hair regenerates.

This service requires healthy hair and does not work well on severely damaged, chemically treated, or very short hair. Your barber will evaluate your hair during the consultation and let you know if a perm is the right choice or if another option would produce better results.

Common Questions About Getting a Perm

Most adults want to know how long the appointment takes, what their hair will look like after, and whether the perm will damage their hair or feel unnatural.

How long does the perm appointment take?
Most perm services take between two and three hours depending on your hair length, texture, and the type of perm being applied. You should plan for a longer appointment than a standard haircut.
What does my hair look like right after the perm?
Your hair will have visible curl or wave and may feel slightly different in texture compared to before. The look settles over the next few days as you wash and style it, and the curl pattern becomes more natural as your hair adjusts.
Will the perm damage my hair?
A professionally applied perm should not damage healthy hair, but the chemical process does alter the structure of your hair, so it requires proper care afterward. Your barber will walk you through maintenance to keep your hair in good condition while the perm grows out.
How long does the perm last?
Most perms last between two and four months depending on how fast your hair grows and how you care for it. The curl or wave will gradually loosen as new hair grows in, and you can choose to get another perm or let it grow out naturally.
Can I get a perm if my hair is short?
Perm results depend on having enough length to wrap around rods, so very short hair may not hold a visible curl. Your barber will evaluate your current length during the consultation and let you know if you need to grow it out before scheduling the service.
