Hello, friends! I’m Efi and on behalf of our entire team at the hair salon, I welcome you with great joy to a topic that we discuss daily with incredible enthusiasm in our chairs.
If at the mere hearing of the word “perm” your mind runs straight to those outdated images of the 80s, with unnatural, hard, frizzy and damaged hair, it’s time to erase this myth once and for all.
The beauty and cosmetology industry has truly made huge leaps. The modern reality in technical work is light years away from the past.
Today, technological developments have brought a real revolution to hair salons all over the world, bringing back waves, texture and volume as the absolute, fresh trend of the time.
This is precisely why the new generation perm in Corfu is now the ideal, modern and completely safe choice for those looking for natural volume, lively movement and, above all, freedom.
Think about how relieving it is to wake up in the morning and not have to strain your hair with hot styling tools, blow dryers and irons.
In the complete and detailed guide that follows, our team has gathered everything for you. We will tour together the modern techniques, we will analyze in depth how your hair is protected during the process and we will talk openly about the costs.
Whether you live permanently in Corfu Town, or visit us daily from Alepou, Solari, Kontokali or other areas of Corfu, this guide has been made with love to solve any possible question you may have.

What Do We Define as New Generation Permanent?
When we talk in our salon about the new generation of this classic technique, we are referring to a completely different philosophy of approach, care and respect for the client.
The ultra-modern professional products we use have now definitively left aggressive ammonia in the past. That strong smell and the subsequent dryness are fortunately a thing of the past.
On the contrary, the new, innovative formulas are enriched with valuable elements that love, protect and nourish the hair from the inside.
Ingredients such as hydrolyzed collagen, essential amino acids, silk proteins and various plant, natural extracts now star in our lotions. This holistic approach completely respects the biology and natural strengths of your hair.
In more scientific terms, the new technology extremely gently remodels the disulfide bonds inside the hair, allowing the hair to take on its new, curly shape.
At the same time, however, it creates a protective film around the outer cortex, preventing damage, dehydration and breakage.
For those who want to delve deeper into how it all began, it’s worth reading about the history of hair care technology and its amazing evolution.
The end result is truly impressive and offers a huge range of options that look completely natural. Our team can create from very light, summer beach waves that exude coolness and freshness, to tighter, well-shaped curls that are full of elasticity, shine and health.
And the best of all is that the new generation perm in Corfu offers this wonderful texture with an extremely long duration over time.
The Evolution of Formulas: From Damage to Repair
Delving a little deeper into the chemical evolution of modern products, it is worth focusing on today’s fixing lotions.
Older, highly alkaline methods violently and abruptly opened the hair cuticles. This process left the hair rough in texture, extremely porous and prone to breakage, giving that “straw” look that everyone dreads.
Today, fortunately, the top products meticulously selected by our team work more as deep treatments than as chemical treatments.
They fully respect the normal pH level of both the hair and the sensitive scalp. Most importantly, they do not remove natural oils, which are absolutely essential for internal hydration and shine.
These innovative technologies in the professional hairdressing sector spectacularly enhance elasticity and protect the brightness of the color. At the same time, they drastically reduce unwanted frizz, which we all know is important. Absolute protection, nourishment and gradual repair are now at the core of our process.
The Modern Approach to Cold Perm
To ensure you get exactly the result you dream of, our team has perfected its techniques around the modern cold method (Cold Perm).
This is the most reliable, flexible and hair-friendly approach to creating gorgeous waves, having left behind other, more aggressive thermal methods that were excessively damaging to the quality of the hair.
The cold method has evolved impressively in recent years. It is the cornerstone of our services, as it allows us to tailor the result with surgical precision to your unique needs.
Its flexibility is so great that it can be applied to almost any hair type and length, always offering personalized, dreamy results that stand the test of time.
How the Modern Cold Method Works
The modern version of the cold method is the epitome of advanced cosmetology. This technique is based exclusively on the use of a specialized, extremely mild lotion and the strategic placement of special rollers (curlers).
The entire process of reshaping the hair bundles takes place at normal room temperature, without any need to use an external, damaging heat source.
The absence of extreme heat is also the great secret of its success. Without the thermal shock, the hair retains its internal moisture.
Our team systematically recommends this method in cases where the primary goal is the maximum possible, impressive volume that starts right from the root of the hair, giving a feeling of lush hair.
In addition, the cold method is absolutely ideal for all lengths. The resulting curls are well-shaped, firm and stand out strongly, maintaining a wonderful vitality.
If you desire a result with a clear character, dynamic movement and stability that lasts for months, this is the appropriate, luxurious choice that we offer you in our salon.
Wrapping Techniques for Different Results
The magic of modern cold perm lies in the art of wrapping. Our team is constantly training in new, creative techniques for wrapping hair around rollers.
The angle of inclination, the strength of the tension and the choice of roller diameter (from very small to jumbo) completely determine the final, aesthetic result, making it unique for each client.
For example, the classic horizontal wrapping technique offers a uniform, full volume and traditional curls. On the contrary, the spiral wrap technique creates wonderful, long and elastic rings that fall vertically, giving a very modern and romantic style.
We can even mix different roller sizes on the same head to achieve the most natural, unpretentious “woke-up-like-this” look.
The Ultimate Trend: Men’s Perm in Corfu
If you thought that impressive curls and volume are exclusively for women, it’s time to completely reconsider.
One of the biggest, most dynamic and rapidly growing trends that we see every day in our chairs is advanced men’s grooming. The modern man takes care of his image, experiments and seeks practical solutions for his style.
The strong influence of global pop culture, social media, famous athletes and especially modern Asian trends, has radically changed the data in men’s grooming worldwide. Today, the demand for men’s perms in Corfu is increasing rapidly, and believe us, it is not happening unfairly.
This specific technical work is now the absolute, common secret behind the most modern, successful and effortlessly cool men’s styles that you see around you. It offers unique texture, intense character and literally frees the hands of men who have very straight, heavy or limp hair.
At our hair salon, the team specializes in adapting this technique to the strict needs of men, ensuring a completely masculine, dynamic and modern result.
Modern Men’s Haircuts That Take Off with Texture
How exactly does this technique translate to everyday men’s haircuts? Strategically adding waves and texture can literally elevate even the simplest or most classic haircut.
Think of a very clean, sharp and short fade on the sides of the head, which contrasts beautifully with a top full of volume, movement and wavy hair.
Or imagine the great comeback of the modern Mullet. In this case, the targeted texture gives exactly that carefree, slightly wilder and unpretentious aesthetic that makes this haircut stand out in the crowd.
The hair gains “character” without the need for heavy waxes or styling pastes that grease the hair every day.
Even for our clients who prefer slightly longer hair, the very popular Bro Flow style becomes incredibly richer, classier and more manageable.
Men of all ages visit us daily looking for a men’s perm in Corfu, and they constantly tell us how this change has freed their hands. It is a real investment in everyday convenience and impeccable style from morning to night.
A Lifesaving Solution for Thin and Weak Hair
A truly huge percentage of people, both women and men, who visit our hair salon, struggle daily with a very common but debilitating challenge: extremely thin, completely straight and limp hair that does not hold any hairstyle.
We know very well the psychological fatigue and frustration of trying for hours in front of the mirror to give a little volume.
The practical difficulties are many. You waste time with the blow dryer, use products, and finally see your hair “fall” flat again after just a few hours. This is exactly where the new generation perm in Corfu comes in as a literally life-saving, permanent solution that changes the structure and behavior of your hair from the root.
Applying our modern method, whether we choose to do it all over the length to create a lush curl, or focus exclusively on a light, strategic lift at the root (known as a root perm), works wonders.
It creates an extremely stable, invisible support structure inside the hair. Hair immediately gains density, rich “body” and unprecedented vitality.
Most importantly and most comforting of all, this technique finally frees you from the daily, vicious cycle of mechanical and thermal damage.
No more painful, daily blow-drying with hot round brushes. No more endless, destructive curling that breaks delicate ends, and no more heavy, sticky hold sprays.
If you feel like your hair is in desperate need of that boost, you can easily fill out the Online Appointment Request so we can discuss your needs in person, in our privacy.
Application to Colored or Sensitized Hair: Myths and Reality
One of the biggest, most persistent and most common doubts that we hear almost daily from our beloved clients is the following: “Effie, can I have a perm if I dye my hair regularly? Or will it be damaged?”. Our team’s answer is clear, but it always requires a completely personalized and highly professional approach.
Yes, it is a fact that dyed hair can absolutely and safely accept this technical work.
The secret lies in the fact that the application is done exclusively with the appropriate, state-of-the-art products, which are designed specifically and only for chemically treated and sensitive hair. The industry has foreseen this by creating lotions with different dynamics.
However, as true professionals, we must be completely honest with you and make a strict, vertical separation. One thing is a hair that is simply dyed in its tone or slightly darker, and completely different is a hair that is extremely damaged, porous and damaged by repeated, heavy decapage and excessive lightening.
In our hairdressing salon, the final decision on whether to proceed is always made only after a thorough, extremely strict diagnostic check.
We meticulously check the elasticity, quality and strength of your hair. Only if we are sure that the hair “holds up”, do we proceed, thus ensuring 100% the absolute safety and health of your hair.
The Role of Protective Reconstructive Therapies
To achieve a truly flawless, shiny and healthy result on already sensitive or dyed hair, we employ the full power of modern, advanced cosmetology. Before, but also during the service, our team applies intensive, specialized reconstruction treatments with a strong synergistic action.
The strict protective protocols that we follow reverently are specially designed to shield the hair structure internally, before it even comes into contact with the lotion.
We use innovative amino acid replenishment technologies (plex treatments) and deep treatments that immediately reconnect the broken bonds inside the hair, offering maximum protection.
Our experienced team guarantees an extremely high level of expertise. We ensure in every way that the chemical process will not burden your hair in the slightest.
On the contrary, our primary goal is that, when you leave our salon, your new, stunning curls are not only perfectly shaped, but also impressively shiny, deeply moisturized and stronger than ever.
The Hair Salon Experience: Step-by-Step Process Description
We fully understand that any new, unfamiliar technique on your hair can logically create a little anxiety or hesitation for you. For this very reason, we want you to know in advance, in every detail, what exactly your experience with us in the salon includes, step by step.
It all starts with a personalized, free consultation. We sit down together and discuss in detail your daily lifestyle. We talk about the real time you have for styling in the morning and, of course, we choose with great care and detail the appropriate diameter of rollers that will give us the exact wave you desire.
Then, our team takes action. We prepare your hair with a specialized, deep cleansing (detox) to remove any product residue.
Immediately after, we apply the necessary protective treatments. This is followed by an extremely careful, methodical hair wrapping and the careful application of the modern, mild new generation lotion.
The waiting time process is strictly and continuously monitored by our team. Once the exact action time is complete, we proceed to an extremely thorough, rich rinse with plenty of water.
Finally, we move on to the final, crucial stage of stabilization (the so-called neutralization). This final step is what permanently locks in the new hair shape, transforming your hair into an elastic, vibrant and naturally moving masterpiece.

Home Maintenance Guide: 7 Ultimate Secrets for Long-Lasting Curls
To maintain the wonderful, flawless result that we created with so much effort at the salon, proper and systematic care at home is truly non-negotiable. The work of the hairdresser is not enough; your contribution is also needed. We have gathered for you the 7 absolute maintenance secrets.
This is a detailed, golden list that will practically help you keep your new curls bouncy, shiny, and healthy for many months.
- The 48-Hour Golden Rule: This is by far the most important step. It is strictly forbidden to shampoo, brush vigorously, hold with tight rubber bands or even long-term exposure to intense water vapor (e.g. sauna or hot shower) during the first, extremely critical twenty-four hours. The new, elastic form of the hair definitely needs this time of rest to “lock” permanently and to fully stabilize the new chemical bonds.
- Say goodbye to Sulfates: Most conventional shampoos on the market (from the supermarket) contain very harsh, cleansing sulfates (SLS/SLES). These ingredients violently strip the hair of its natural, protective oils. The result? They cause extreme dryness, intense frizz and literally destroy the beautiful shape of the curl. Invest today exclusively in professional, mild sulfate-free shampoos that respect its structure.
- Intensive Hydration is the Only Way: Curly and wavy hair, by their physiology, constantly “thirst” for abundant moisture and nourishment. The systematic use of a rich, specialized professional moisturizing mask at least once or twice a week is essential. In addition, the daily application of nourishing, light oils (such as argan oil) to the ends are non-negotiable, daily habits to keep your curls soft and silky.
- The Art of Proper Blow Drying: Forget once and for all the abrupt, wild and hasty drying with the hair dryer blowing strongly in every direction. Always use the hair dryer exclusively on the medium or even better on the low temperature and air speed scale. Be sure to adjust the special blower attachment. Very gently lift the curls from the ends towards the roots, without “stirring” them nervously with your fingers, to avoid opening the hair and frizzing.
- The Proper, Painless Detangling in the Bathroom: Never, ever brush your new curly hair when it is completely dry! All you will achieve is to violently ruin its beautiful shape, break the ends and create a huge, unsightly “bubble” of frizz around your head. Detangle very gently in the shower, only after you have applied plenty of conditioner or a mask, using only a special comb with very sparse, wide teeth.
- Styling Products for Absolute Definition (Leave-in & Creams): To maximize the shape and movement of your new curl, always apply a lightweight, professional curling cream, an alcohol-free mousse or a rich leave-in conditioner to clean, damp (towel-dried) hair. Apply the product evenly using the classic “scrunching” technique (i.e. gently, rhythmically scrunching the ends upwards, as if kneading the hair) to enhance and “lock” the wave.
- Nighttime Protection While You Sleep: Did you know that constantly rubbing your hair against a hard, cotton pillowcase at night can damage, dehydrate, and frizz your curls? Protect your investment by sleeping on a soft silk or satin pillowcase instead. Alternatively, before bed, pull all your hair very loosely at the top of your head (the familiar, convenient “pineapple” styling) using a soft, fabric scrunchie to wake up the next morning with a flawless, ready-to-go style.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long exactly does the effect of such a new generation service last?
Depending on the natural type, thickness and quality of your hair, the technique we applied and, of course, very correct, systematic maintenance at home (with the right products), the impressive result can last from 3 to 6 whole months. As your hair naturally grows longer from the root, the curls in the lengths gradually begin to relax in a very uniform, natural and beautiful way.
Is there a fear of damaging or “burning” my hair?
No, not at all, as long as the technique is applied correctly, by fully qualified professionals. In our salon we use exclusively premium, modern lotions without the addition of harsh ammonia. In addition, we always incorporate powerful, protective reconstruction treatments (plex) during the entire process. In this way, we protect and shield your hair structure at every single step.
Can I have the procedure if I have naturally very thin and limp hair?
Of course! It is perhaps one of the best, most effective and most practical solutions for very fine hair that does not hold a comb. We can create a permanent, extremely stable volume base (the well-known root perm) that lifts the hair from the scalp. This will immediately make your hair look noticeably thicker, fuller, with rich “body” and vitality.
Is this procedure also suitable for male clients?
Absolutely, yes. As we explained in our detailed guide, men’s grooming with the strategic addition of texture and volume is a huge, global trend. It definitively solves the tiresome problem of very straight, “boring” and lackluster hair. Most importantly for men, it dramatically reduces, almost to zero, the time required for styling in the morning, perfectly matching and highlighting all the modern, fashionable haircuts of the season.
How do I find out about the cost and prices for perms in Corfu?
The final cost depends on several different factors. The total length, density of your hair, the amount of expensive materials required, and the use of specialized treatments determine the price. For complete transparency, we encourage you to schedule a free consultation or visit our quote page to receive an accurate, fully personalized cost estimate, designed exclusively for your needs.
What is one thing I absolutely should not do immediately after visiting your hair salon?
The absolute, non-negotiable and most crucial golden rule is to not wash your hair, not get it wet and not hold it tightly with a rubber band or clip for at least 48 hours. The new chemical bonds we created in your hair need all this time to fully stabilize and “lock” into their new, curly form.
