On healthy, untreated hair, results usually last 8–12 weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and aftercare. Using recommended products and minimizing heat extends curl life; touch-ups can refresh shape as needed.

We assess color history and hair health during consultation; minor color processing is usually compatible, but significant recent lightening or fragile hair may need postponing. Our stylists recommend treatments to strengthen strands before waving for best, safest results.

When performed by experienced stylists and paired with strengthening treatments, Wave Nouveau minimizes damage. We use controlled formulas and precise techniques to protect integrity; follow homecare instructions and occasional deep-conditioning to preserve health and curl longevity.

Appointments typically take two to three hours depending on hair length, density, and customization. Time includes consultation, application, processing, neutralizing, and final styling. We schedule to allow careful technique and optimal, long-lasting results.

Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners, avoid daily heat styling, and apply leave-in conditioners or curl creams. Sleep on a silk pillowcase and follow salon-specific product recommendations. Schedule periodic deep-conditioning and touch-ups to keep curls defined and healthy.

Occasional low-heat styling is fine if you use a heat protectant and avoid excessive temperature. Limit styling frequency to preserve curl pattern and moisture. For best results, consult your stylist for recommended temperatures and product pairings tailored to your hair.
