"I can’t recommend CeeJae and The Velvet Salon enough. From the moment you walk into her salon, she makes you feel so welcomed. Her energy is truly beautiful and calming, which makes every appointment such a great experience."
"Ceejay is absolutely amazing! She listens to what you want and delivers!!! She is so thoughtful and attentive. I can’t rave enough about her scalp massages! She gives 110 percent of herself and more. She definitely gives what you want. She loves her clients so much. I can’t say enough good things about her."
"My most favorite place to get my hair done. I don't trust anyone with my hair like I do with Cee Jae. She is one of a kind, genuine, and delivers every time with the vision I have in mind. I have never been one to feel happy with my hair appointments until meeting Cee Jae two years ago, and I've never looked back. If I could give 100 stars I would.

What Is A Mondern Perm Service?
This is a modern, softer approach to a perm—designed to gently shift how your hair behaves by adding soft waves, natural movement, or subtle curl in a way that feels effortless and wearable.
👉 Also known as a soft perm, beach wave perm, or modern perm.
For most clients, this is what they’ve always wanted when they think of a “beach wave” or soft perm—not the tight, frizzy, hard-to-manage curls often associated with older perms.
This approach creates:
-
Soft waves or loose curls
-
Natural volume and fullness
-
Movement that can be worn curly, air-dried, or blown out with ease
It’s designed to give you flexibility, control, and multiple styling options, not lock you into one look.
What Can I Expect from a Perm Service?
Before
We assess:
-
Your hair’s strength, porosity, and elasticity
-
Your natural texture and behavior
-
What your hair can realistically hold
We’ll also talk through your goals and create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
During
Your service includes:
-
Custom wrapping to create a natural, lived-in pattern
-
Gentle processing to shift the hair’s behavior
-
Controlled timing to protect the integrity of your hair
Every step is designed to guide the hair—not force it.
After
You’ll leave with:
-
Softer, more natural movement or curl
-
Hair that falls into shape more easily

Guidance on how to style and care for your new texture
How does this make your life easier?
-
Less time spent using heat tools
-
Hair naturally holds shape, volume, and movement

More fullness and thickness in your overall look
-
Flexibility to wear your hair curly, natural, or blown out
-
Softer, more natural grow-out compared to traditional perms
-
A lower-commitment way to explore texture
Longevity & Maintenance
A Modern Perm doesn’t just “wear off” — it evolves over time.
With this modern perm, you can expect your curl pattern to feel its most defined for about 8–10 weeks, then gradually soften as your hair grows and relaxes.
-
Weeks 0–4: Strongest shape, bounce, and definition
-
Weeks 4–10+: Softer, more natural movement with less root volume
-
Beyond that: The curl is still present, but looser and more dependent on styling support
Because your hair is constantly growing, the biggest shift you’ll notice is at the root, where new, straight hair comes in — this is what reduces volume over time, not the perm “disappearing.”
👉 This is a gradual, soft evolution—not a harsh grow-out
When Can I Do It Again?
The soonest this service is typically repeated is every 3–4 months.
In between, a strengthening or prep treatment may be recommended to support your hair before your next texture service.
Is This Texture Ritual Right for You?
This is for you if...
-
You want soft waves or natural movement—not tight curls
-
You’ve always wanted that “beach wave” look without daily styling
-
You want your hair to feel easier, fuller, and more effortless
-
You like the idea of wash-and-wear hair for a season
-
You value flexibility and hair health over long-lasting intensity
👉 “I want my hair to hold shape, feel fuller, and give me the flexibility to wear it smooth, natural, or blown out—without fighting it.”
You may want a different service if...
-
Tight, highly defined curls that last for several months
-
A very structured or uniform curl pattern
-
A long-term, low-change texture that stays consistent over time
👉 This service creates soft, flexible movement that holds shape, and gives you the freedom to wear your hair multiple ways.”
