Perming The Sassoon Way

Course Overview

This 2-day perming class is an immersive and comprehensive program that delves into the art and science of permanent waving. Held at the prestigious Beverly Hills Academy, the course will be hosted by experienced educator Karen Norwood.

To ensure a thorough understanding of the process, Day one focuses on theory and technique, covering the different curl patterns, rod sizes and hair types. Students will study consultation techniques, chemical formulations and the importance of hair analysis in achieving desired results.

Under Karen's guidance, day two puts the learner’s knowledge into practice with hands-on work sessions on mannequin heads. This practical experience will enable you to master various perm winds, creating tailored curls to suit each client’s hair texture and style preference.
