I got a perm about a week ago. After a few hours the curls dropped. I went back the next day and she said I probably slept on it funny. She noted she used a waving solution to try keep my hair soft. And, I felt like she was rushing through the rollers.
I have had my hair permed before and usually get nice curls. My hair was always longer and more processed than it is now. Half of the hair is wavy some of it is curly and the curly parts are too tight. I showed her a picture and she said because my hair wasn't layered it would not look like that. So 3 days later I got a cut to make sure it wasn't heavy. And the curls still don't stay.
I called her to re-perm and she said I need a cut and it will be fine. She will book me and charge me for cut only. When I told her I got one already and I am scared my hair will burn she said I should wait longer. She said she could re-do only the back because that's the part where half the shaft isn't curled.
I told her 1 side of my head is wavy. The other side is kinda curly. The curls are too tight and the back is half wavy half straight. She apologized and said she was an expert and was not sure why this happened. I told her I didn't think it was enough solution and she said no. It's short hair there was enough.
I feel like she is giving me too many excuses. I want her to fix it, which she will for free, but I am questioning her competence.
Should I trust her to re-do it or fight her for a refund to get it done elsewhere? I hate waiting because I am a doctor and need to look processional. But, I also don't want to be bald.

I've been a hairdresser for 35 year. You need some deep conditioning treatments and then let your hair rest. Another perm right now is gonna make it worse and really dry.
I would insist on a refund and go elsewhere. As you note, your stylist is giving too many excuses.
I used to be a stylist, and it sounds like she does have quite a few excuses. Really, she should have just agreed to re-do the perm, including any treatment or pre-treatment you might need to keep your hair from overprocessing. In your shoes, if she won't just redo it and stop excuses, I'd request a refund and go elsewhere.
Hello. I had a curly perm but my problem is excessive shedding. ( i wish my problem was a curl drop. ) are my hair follicles permanently damaged? Will this continue until it all falls? Ive been so stressed! Regreting every day that i did this. Any expert advice from hair stylist appreciated
Hell No! Don't trust her! The same thing happened to me. It's been one year and my hair won't get any longer. It does grow but it keeps breaking off. If, I could turn back the time I would in a heartbeat.
I got a perm on Oct. 10th - I waited two days to wash my hair so the perm would hold then washed it again after 2 more days and 75% of the perm is gone.
Of course, I was upset! My stylist recommended the Shielo Intensive Hair Mask - its a deep conditioning treatment because my hair was dry. My hair looks 100 times better! It made the perm come back a little more, it's not perfect but it looks a whole lot better and I feel a lot better too. I will always have this Shielo product around next time i get a perm - its a saver!
