✦In depth

Everything about this service.

Where can I get a women's perm in Athens? At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier, Irakleitou 80, Patima Chalandriou, Athens, a women's perm starts from €80, all-inclusive with a consultation. Before every perm we assess your hair, your colour history and the result you want, so we can choose the curl type and technique that suit your hair.

The perm is back — but not as you remember it

The modern perm gives soft, natural waves and volume, not the tight, "puffy" curl of past decades. Today's trends are moving towards beach waves, soft perms and body waves, as well as root perms for volume without a visible curl. The secret lies in the size of the rods, the wrapping technique and the careful choice and use of the solution — all adapted to your texture.

Types of women's perm we offer

Beach waves / soft perm. Loose, irregular waves that recall hair after a day at the beach. Ideal if you want movement and texture with minimal styling in the morning.

Body wave. Large, soft waves that add body and volume to straight or "limp" hair. It does not read as a curl, but as hair with more life.

Spiral / classic curls. More defined, corkscrew curls, usually on medium or long hair. The curl size is chosen with you so it suits your face and haircut.

Root perm for volume. Applied only to the first few centimetres from the scalp, for lift and volume in fine or flat hair, without changing the rest of the length. See our detailed guide to the root perm (in Greek).

Who is a perm for?

A perm suits anyone with straight or slightly wavy hair who wants lasting texture, volume or curl without daily styling. It is also a good solution for fine hair that falls flat quickly and for anyone tired of the blow-dryer and the straightener. It is not recommended for hair that is already very sensitive, broken or recently lightened to a high level, without first strengthening the hair.

Consultation and strand test: why we start there

Every perm at the atelier starts with a hair consultation and, where needed, a strand test. We check elasticity, porosity, the thickness of the hair and your history of colour and chemical services. The strand test — a trial on a small, hidden section — shows us how your hair will react before we apply the technique to the whole head. This way we choose the right solution and decide honestly whether a perm is the right choice for you today.

Perms on coloured or lightened hair

A perm on coloured hair is usually possible, while on lightened hair it is done only with caution and after a consultation. Colour on its own is rarely an obstacle, provided the hair is in good condition. On lightened hair, balayage or highlights, the hair is more vulnerable, so we may suggest a gentler approach, applying it to only part of the hair, or a strengthening treatment first. If your hair cannot take it, we will tell you.

Care in the first 48 hours

For the first 48 hours after your perm, avoid washing, hair ties, clips and grips. During this time the curl shape "sets". After that, choose a gentle sulphate-free shampoo, a rich conditioner and styling with your fingers or a diffuser instead of a brush. Avoid straighteners, which cancel out the wave, and limit heat.

How long does a perm last?

A women's perm usually lasts 3–6 months, depending on your hair type, length, curl type and care. The curl does not "drop" suddenly; it relaxes gradually and, as your hair grows, the root comes through straight. With a maintenance cut and the right care, the shape stays beautiful for longer. A root perm lasts less visibly, because the volume moves away from the scalp as the hair grows.

Can it be combined with a haircut?

Yes — the haircut is half the result of a good perm. Layers remove weight and let the wave "open up", while on fine hair the right shape supports the volume. That is why we often design the haircut and the perm together, at the same consultation. See also our curly haircut in Athens.

Men's perm and the full guide

We also offer men's perms (textured, "broccoli" and natural wave) from €70 — see the page on the men's perm in Chalandri (in Greek). For types, longevity, damage and prices, read our complete perm guide.

✦FAQ

Everything you want to know.

The questions we are asked most often, answered to help you decide.

How much does a women's perm cost in Athens?

At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri, Athens, a women's perm starts from €80, all-inclusive with a consultation. The final price is confirmed at the consultation, depending on length, density and technique.

How long does a perm last?

A women's perm usually lasts 3–6 months. How long it lasts depends on your hair type, the curl type and your care, while the wave relaxes gradually as your hair grows.

Does a perm damage your hair?

A perm is a chemical process and affects the structure of the hair, but with a proper consultation, the right solution and aftercare, hair stays in good condition. The greatest risk is with hair that is already compromised or heavily lightened, which is why we always start with a consultation.

Can I have a perm on coloured or lightened hair?

On coloured hair a perm is usually possible, provided the hair is healthy. On lightened hair it is done only with caution, after a consultation and strand test, and sometimes we suggest a strengthening treatment or a partial application first.

What is a strand test?

A strand test is a trial of the perm on a small, hidden section before the full application. It shows how your hair reacts to the solution and helps choose the safest technique for your hair.

What should I watch out for in the first 48 hours?

For the first 48 hours after a perm, do not wash your hair and avoid hair ties, clips and grips. After that, choose a gentle sulphate-free shampoo, a rich conditioner and styling with your fingers or a diffuser.

Which type of perm suits me?

For loose texture, beach waves or a soft perm; for body, a body wave; for defined curls, a spiral perm; and for volume only at the root, a root perm. At Ikonomakis Hair Atelier in Chalandri the choice is made at the consultation, based on your hair, length and face.

Can you perm short hair?

Yes, a perm can be done on short hair, as long as there is enough length to wrap the hair around the rods. On short hair we often choose a body wave or root perm for texture and volume rather than a tight curl.
