Life as a Hairstylist Apprentice – Accomplishing the Permy Perm

BeautySmack has been following Marina, and her life as the real beauty school apprentice. We’re updating you for a taste of what is going on in this hairstylist – to – be’s life. Marina has now taken on to abusing Miss Susy’s hair with consistent perming. She’s just a head, no brain, so no talking back, or asking for a refund.

Well I’ve accomplished the regular wrap perm. Which is the standard wrap: First you wrap the hair into nine sections, and then you start wrapping backwards into the Mohawk. Finally, you make your way across to the sides of the head.

Then came the piggyback perm. Which rolls exactly like the regular perm, you just use two rods instead of one. This type of wrap creates a more spiral curl. The main focus I had after taking a break with fingerwaves was working on the actual spiral perm. It’s a lot easier than the other perms and different. With a true spiral perm you don’t need 9 sections, you start on the Bottom with 1/2″ section. Then you section off a 1/2″ square , so it would be 1/2″x 1/2″, and you roll the rod up but on an angle so all the rods should lay vertical.

This is by far the easiest perm. But it comes out straight from the 80’s, and miss suzy’s hair no longer looks long. That’s for sure!! Her hair is a bit frzzy because she’s been putting up with a lot of abuse. She needs a haircut bad!!! Unfortunately it’s not time for that…she’ll have to suffer a bit longer!
