Cutting: from fringe to special layer cut
A good cut starts with a good conversation. We first discuss what you want to achieve, how your hair is behaving at the moment and what suits you. Then comes a professional wash, the cut itself and blow-drying or styling. We use different timings and prices for short and long hair because longer hair requires more work in both the cut and styling. A fringe trim can also be booked separately as a quick in-between maintenance appointment. For those who want a more distinctive look we offer the special layer haircut. This is an extensive cut treatment that focuses on layering and texture, specifically tailored to the thickness, weight and fall of your hair. This is a longer appointment, so make sure to plan enough time.
Blow-drying and styling
A professional blowdry does a lot for the shine, volume and movement of your hair. We offer blow-drying for short, medium-length and long hair. Short hair takes less time and is therefore priced lower. Long hair requires more time for a good result. Want a smooth, straight blowout? Or some body and movement? Tell us what you want and we tailor the styling accordingly. A blowdry is popular for a special occasion but also simply as weekly maintenance for those who like their hair sleek and polished. The blow-dry treatment can be booked on its own without a cut, or as a finishing step after a cut.
Permanent wave: lasting texture and volume
A permanent wave treatment creates lasting curl or wave in the hair. This is a good choice if your hair is naturally flat and you want more volume or texture without having to restyle it every morning. We use professional products that transform the hair from within. The treatment takes about one and a half hours on average. Results last several months. In the beginning the curls may be slightly tighter; after a few washes they relax into the final result. Good hair care after the treatment is important: use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner and avoid water and heat styling for the first 48 hours. Do you have chemically coloured or damaged hair? Let us know when booking or during the intake and we will assess together whether the treatment is appropriate.
Aftercare and tips for healthy hair
After every treatment we give you a brief aftercare explanation specific to what was done. For a permanent wave: keep the hair dry for the first 48 hours and avoid heat styling. After that, sulphate-free shampoo is recommended to keep the curl in good condition for longer. After a colour treatment combined with a cut the same advice applies: sulphate-free shampoo and avoiding overly hot water when washing. Heat styling is fine but always use a heat protection spray. Generally speaking, regular trimming keeps your hair healthy. Split ends that are left too long can allow damage to travel up the hair shaft. A small trim every six to ten weeks is enough for most hair types to stay looking cared for.

Frequently asked questions
What does a haircut cost at Anima Beauty?
Women's wash, cut and dry starts from EUR 29.75 for short hair and EUR 38.25 for long hair. A fringe trim starts from EUR 10.20. A special layer haircut starts from EUR 85. Current prices are listed on our Fresha page.
How long does a blow-dry appointment take?
Blow-drying for short hair takes about thirty minutes. For medium-length hair forty minutes, for long hair one hour. These are estimates. The exact time depends on the thickness and condition of your hair. Always plan a little extra time.
How long does a permanent wave last?
On average three to six months, depending on how fast your hair grows and how you care for it at home. Using sulphate-free shampoo and avoiding excessive heat styling will help the result last longer. Over time your hair simply grows out and the curl fades at the roots.
Can I come in just for a blowdry, without a cut?
Yes, blow-drying and styling can be booked on their own. You do not need to have a cut at the same time. Useful if you want your hair to look perfect for an occasion, or if you simply want a fresh style without taking any length off.
Is a permanent wave suitable for coloured hair?
That depends on the condition of the hair. Hair that has been recently bleached or chemically treated may be more sensitive to the products used in a permanent wave. We always assess this during the intake. When in doubt we sometimes recommend restoring the hair's condition first before proceeding.
