Perming

The best creative styling & perming can be found at Gavin Ashley. Our skilled stylists have years of experience and can help you achieve natural looking curls and waves using the latest modern perming tools & techniques.

We start your hair journey with a detailed consultation, finding out about your current hair care routine and what you hope to achieve from your permed hairstyle. If you have coloured hair then a strand test will be carried out. We will discuss any natural curl patterns you may have and decide the most suitable technique to perm your hair to ensure the best possible results.

Can I Have My Hair Permed?

Perms are not just for creating curly hairstyles. Perms offer a great way in which to add volume and movement to your hair, you don’t always need the whole of your head permed. Often, clients who have flat or fine hair have a perm focusing on the crown area only which helps them achieve fullness & height.
There are a number of different perms available in our Bury St Edmunds salon to add texture, transform flat, fine or lifeless hair. Perms can instantly change your straight hair into beautiful tousled curls giving it movement and a much needed boost.

Protect & Strengthen Permed Hair

A popular perming question we get asked at Gavin Ashley is ‘can I have my coloured hair permed? And the answer is yes! (Subject to a strand test).

With restorative hair treatments such as Olaplex, you can protect and reinforce your hair, allowing perming services to be carried out on previously lightened, coloured or damaged hair. 

But if you do find that your colour is in need of a refresh, we offer hair colour correction services – take a look at our hair colour gallery for inspiration.
