Add Volume, Wave & Definition – Hair Perms in Midlothian VA


What Is a Perm?

A perm is a chemical treatment that reshapes the hair’s natural structure, creating lasting curl, wave, or volume depending on your goals. Today’s perms are far more versatile and gentle than those of decades past, giving you a custom look that complements your cut, face shape, and lifestyle.



At Grey Square Salon, we offer:

  • Body Waves – For soft, loose movement and texture
  • Traditional Curl Perms – Tighter, springier curls with definition
  • Root Perms – Lift and volume at the base for flat or fine hair
  • Custom Texture Blends – A mix of wave and curl, tailored to your desired look

Is a Perm Right for You?

Perms work well for many hair types and goals. Whether you want to enhance natural texture, add volume to straight hair, or switch up your look entirely, a custom perm can help you get there.

Ideal for:

  • Fine or flat hair that lacks volume
  • Straight hair that doesn’t hold curl
  • Loose or undefined natural wave
  • Short to medium-length styles needing shape
  • Low-maintenance clients who want long-lasting texture

The Grey Square Perm Process

We begin every perm service with a consultation and strand test to ensure your hair is healthy enough for the treatment and to determine the curl pattern that best suits your desired outcome.

Our Process Includes:

  • Scalp and hair assessment
  • Hair prep and clarifying cleanse
  • Custom rod set or wrap pattern
  • Application of gentle perm solution
  • Neutralizing rinse and setting
  • Optional trim or reshaping for finish
  • Aftercare guidance and styling tips

We use modern perm solutions that are safer and more conditioning than ever before, minimizing damage while maximizing results.

Perms That Move With You

Forget the stiff, overly uniform curls of the past — today’s perms are all about movement, softness, and natural texture. We carefully customize the shape and size of your curls or waves to enhance your haircut, giving you a look that’s fresh, not forced.



You can style it with volume, wear it air-dried, or pair it with a sleek blowout for versatile, everyday options.

FAQs About Hair Perms

  • How long does a perm last?

    Most perms last 2–6 months, depending on hair texture, type, and aftercare. We’ll help you create a maintenance plan during your visit.

  • Can I color my hair and get a perm?

    In most cases, yes — but timing and your hair’s current condition are key. We recommend spacing chemical services and will consult with you on a safe schedule.

  • Will it damage my hair?

    When performed professionally, perms are safe for many hair types. We only proceed with the service if your hair is healthy enough, and we offer strengthening treatments as needed.

  • How should I care for my perm at home?

    We’ll recommend sulfate-free, curl-friendly products to keep your texture hydrated and frizz-free. Avoid washing for 48 hours post-service to let the shape set.

I went there for the 1st time today after a recommendation and was delighted.

As a guy, it’s not often at all that I come out of a hair studio feeling great!

The cut, convo and massage were all amazing.
