How a perm reshapes hair
A perm at Epic Studio Barbers & Stylist reshapes the hair’s natural pattern to create curls or waves. Stylists begin with an assessment of hair length and texture, then select a customized curl pattern and approach that targets the specific shape you want while respecting your hair’s condition.
Expect a service that produces bouncy, long-lasting curls when appropriate. Pricing starts at $65 and appointments are scheduled for 60 MINUTES; the stylist will explain how your hair’s base texture and previous services shape the achievable result without promising exact outcomes.
Choosing curl size and shape
Curl size and pattern are decisions based on the length, thickness and texture of your hair plus the style you want. Smaller curls give more volume while larger waves read as relaxed movement. Your stylist will help you weigh the look you want against how much daily upkeep you prefer.
Season and lifestyle also matter — clients often request beachy, low-maintenance waves in spring and summer and bigger changes before holiday events in November. Hermosa clients who commute on Cicero Avenue or the CTA Blue Line often choose styles that work with evening and weekend routines.
Aftercare and styling tips
Aftercare affects how your perm settles and how long it remains lively. Your stylist will recommend products and a routine tailored to Chicago’s changing seasons — humid summers or cold winters can change how curls behave. Follow the stylist’s personalized guidance rather than general rules for the best outcome.
Clients value the attentive, detail-oriented service here; expect hands-on advice about daily styling and gentle maintenance so the curl pattern lasts. Whether you prefer a more styled look or low-effort waves, adjustments and follow-up appointments will be recommended based on how your hair responds.
