ISO PERM
Bold, classic curl
Formula Strength: Stronger solution to hold curl longer
Vibe Check: Bold, structured, and a bit more glam
Thinking about getting a perm in Boulder but not sure which curl journey to take? Whether you're dreaming of vintage ringlets or a soft, lived-in wave, the two most popular options are the iconic ISO perm and the newer, gentler Curl Cult perm.
At Voodoo Hair Lounge, a top-rated Boulder hair salon, we specialize in both techniques and love helping our clients find the texture that fits their lifestyle. Here’s everything you need to know before choosing your perfect perm in Boulder.
The ISO perm is a tried-and-true chemical treatment that's been creating bold texture for decades. It's ideal for those who want long-lasting, defined curls that make a statement.
✨ What to Expect:
Curl Type: Bold, uniform curls that can be tailored with different rod sizes, from tight coils to soft waves.
Vibe: Think vintage glam, big volume, and structure.
Maintenance: This style needs a little more aftercare and the solution can dry hair out, so deep hydration is key to keeping curls soft and healthy.
Longevity: Lasts 4–6 months, with curls relaxing slightly over time.
Ideal for anyone who wants a long-lasting, dramatic curl pattern with that classic, bouncy perm look.
The Curl Cult perm is a newer, gentler approach that creates soft, effortless curls or waves using a formaldehyde-free, protein-infused formula. It's the perfect solution if you're looking for a low-maintenance, modern perm in Boulder that works with your natural texture instead of against it.
✨ What to Expect:
Curl Type: Soft waves or natural-looking curls that grow out beautifully.
Vibe: Effortlessly cool, beachy, and lived-in.
Maintenance: Still important to hydrate, but Curl Cult is gentler on hair and fades more gracefully over time.
Longevity: Typically lasts 3–4 months with a subtle, blended grow-out.
Perfect for low-maintenance babes who want movement, body, and texture without the commitment of bold curls.
