The 5 Best Hair Perm Services in Winnipeg That Live up to the Hype
As someone who has naturally thin, straight hair, I always loved curling my tresses and then brushing them out a bit to add more volume. Since I’m no professional, I’ve had my fair share of burns over the years.
Now, I leave all the hard work to my stylist. From Julia Roberts’ loose, mid-length curls in Pretty Woman to Natalie Portman’s soft, romantic locks in Star Wars, I’ve tried it all.
Here in Winnipeg, we’ve got a number of salons to choose from that offer personalized perm treatments. We made a list of the best ones below.
How much do hair perm services cost in Winnipeg?
1. Fifth Hair Lounge and Beauty Bar
Address: 1108 Corydon Ave
Phone: +12048983130
Business Hours:
- Monday, 9 AM–5 PM
- Tuesday-Thursday, 9 AM– PM
- Friday-Saturday, 9 AM–5 PM
Fifth Hair is a spacious, three-storey salon, offering a full range of luxury services, including temporary and permanent hair perm treatment. We love that they have a large team of experts who are not only exceptional at what they do but are also fun to talk to.
According to the patrons that we interviewed, the stylists are friendly yet very professional. They listen well, but won’t shy away from giving honest advice so you can get the best results.
Apart from hair care services, they offer a wide range of beauty treatments, perfectly convenient for ladies who need a spa day. You can have everything done here—from mani-pedis and facials to acupuncture.
On their website, you’ll only find a rough estimate of the cost of the hair treatment or styling. You have to book a consultation first to get the actual breakdown of the price, which isn’t the most ideal if you’re pressed for time or on a tight budget.
Excellent service
I had a great experience with my hairstylist Ashley. She was incredibly professional, provided excellent service, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment. She listened to what I wanted, gave helpful suggestions, and handled everything with care and attention to detail. I absolutely loved the final result. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone skilled, kind, and attentive.

2. Prep Hair
Address: 173 Lilac St
Phone: +12045002212
Business Hours: Daily, 8 AM–9 PM
Prep Hair specializes in blonding and color treatments, but they have exceptional perm services as well. We like that they use a gentle chemical treatment, which gives you long-lasting, low-maintenance waves or curls without leaving any damage.
Because they don’t use strong products, they’re even safe for sensitive scalps. You won’t have to worry about irritation after the session.
With a $120 starting rate, though, this treatment is quite pricey. You’ll get a specific breakdown of the costs during the consultation, which will depend on your hair length, fullness, and products.
All new clients are required to book a consultation. It costs $30 for a 15 to 30-minute consultation, where you’ll discuss your hair health and history, budget, goals, and options.
Welcoming and professional
I have gone to Prep Hair three times now, and each time my experience has been great! Each person I have worked with/come across has been welcoming and professional. I’ve seen Brena twice and she’s great. She listened to my concerns and gave great suggestions when I wasn’t sure what I wanted done.

Genuinely cares about clients
Just want to shout out my wonderful stylist Morgainn. I’ve been seeing her for a few years now, and she’s just the best. She genuinely cares so deeply about her clients, and does such an incredible job. I’ve tried many stylists over the years, and it’s hard to find one you trust. But with Morgainn, I know I’m in the best hands. Thank you Morgainn for all that you do. I appreciate it more than I can say.

3. The Sapphire Hair Lounge
Address: 562 Academy Rd
Phone: +12044178557
Business Hours:
- Tuesday, 10 AM–7 PM
- Wednesday, 10 AM–6 PM
- Thursday-Friday, 10 AM–8 PM
- Saturday, 9 AM–4 PM
A favorite among the LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse communities, the Sapphire Hair Lounge is known for its friendly, welcoming environment.
Katie seems to be the resident expert for curls. When we talked to some of her regulars who’ve been going to the salon for years, they described her as friendly, attentive, and highly skilled.
At $90, the starting price for a perm treatment here isn’t expensive, but this doesn’t include a haircut. You’ll have to pay extra for a trim.
And note that the exact price of the treatment will depend on your hair’s specific needs or your style goals.
Incredibly attentive
Kallie is incredibly attentive and genuinely listens to what you want while also bringing her own expertise and vision to the table. You can see the passion in her work–she’s an artist through and through. Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a full-on hair revolution, she puts her heart into it every time.

LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse-friendly
Had an absolutely wonderful experience here at Sapphire Lounge with April. She is MAGIC at what she does, and really made me feel accepted and welcomed from the moment I walked in. LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse-friendly! Definitely recommend booking an appointment here to anyone who might be on the fence.

4. Hair2dye4 Aveda Concept Salon
Address: 9-1700 Corydon Ave
Phone: +12044882311
Business Hours:
- Sunday, 12 PM–6 PM
- Monday, 9 AM–3 PM
- Tuesday-Thursday, 10 AM–8 PM
- Friday, 9 AM–3 PM
- Saturday, 9 AM–5 PM
Hair2dye4 champions affordable, sustainable beauty treatments in Winnipeg. Because they use non-toxic, botanical products, you’ll have moisturized and healthy curls that will hold up for a long time.
Getting a perm here will cost at least $70, which is pretty budget-friendly. But the price can go higher depending on your hair length.
What we like most about this salon is that it also caters to men and children. According to the patrons we interviewed, the stylists are friendly and attentive, impressing even the most skeptical teenagers.
Although it’s easy to book an appointment and consultation here, we’ve heard that they don’t always start on time.
Definitely coming back
Today was my first time at Hair2dye4 Aveda Concept Salon and will definitely be coming back! Skye handled my hair with so much care and was so sweet. Sarah was honest about what my hair needs and provided the service I needed. Thank you so much!

5. Tonic Spa and Hair
Address: 598 Corydon Ave
Phone: +12044887040
Business hours:
- Tuesday, 10 AM–9 PM
- Wednesday, 9 AM–6 PM
- Thursday, 9 AM–9 PM
- Friday, 9 AM–6 PM
- Saturday, 9 AM–3 PM
Offering a full range of beauty services, Tonic Spa and Hair is a go-to spot for anyone looking to relax and indulge in much-needed pampering. They have well-trained and experienced professionals on their roster, especially when it comes to haircare.
We like that most of their services are affordable, including the perm treatment, which costs at least $60+. That fee includes a one-on-one consultation with a stylist, who’ll assess your hair health and customize a treatment plan that fits your budget and goals.
They only have three senior stylists—five if you count the co-owners. So if you want to get your hair done by a specific expert, you have to book ahead of time.
When we asked some of the regulars about their experience, they shared that they were pretty happy with the customer service. The staff always check in on their clients throughout the sessions just to make sure that they’re comfy and satisfied.
Extremely professional and courteous
Thank you to Julia at Tonic Hair. It was a great experience. She was extremely professional and courteous, checked in with me continuously throughout the process to make sure that I was happy. We had a great vibe going on and good conversation. I appreciate her time today and I will definitely be back.
