OCS AWARDS
Curly Hair Artist of the Year
Runner Up · 2026
Organic Perms
Award-winning curls in the heart of Soho.
Oliver Stephens was named Runner-Up for Curly Hair Artist of the Year 2026 at the OCS Awards, recognising our work with curls, texture and movement.
From soft, natural-looking waves to more defined curls, every perm is individually tailored to your hair and the result you want to achieve.
Modern Perming
Not one curl fits all.
Modern perming is about creating texture that feels right for you. From subtle movement and added body to loose waves or more defined curls, the result can be shaped around your hair and the way you want to wear it.
01
Soft waves
Relaxed shape and gentle movement for a softer, natural-looking finish.
02
Defined curls
More pronounced curl and shape, tailored to create definition and a result that feels individual to you.
03
Volume
Added body and fullness to give the hair more shape, presence and natural lift.
04
Movement
Texture through the hair that creates an easier, more naturally flowing shape.
The Organic Approach
Curls, with a gentler approach.
At Oliver Stephens, we use OCS Think Curl, a professional perming system enriched with plant amino acids and developed to offer a gentler approach to permanently curling the hair.
Think Curl is formulated without ammonium thioglycolate, ammonia, SLS or SLES. Instead, OCS uses cysteamine hydrochloride, which mimics the cysteine amino acid to help reform and strengthen bonds within the hair.
For us, it offers a modern approach to permanent texture, allowing us to create curls and movement while keeping the condition and feel of your hair at the heart of the service.
Your Perm, Your Hair
It starts with a conversation.
Every perm begins with a consultation. Our specialists will talk through the curl, movement and texture you would like to achieve, taking into account your hair and how you like to wear it.
Using their expertise, they will select the appropriate rod size for your desired curl pattern and guide you through professional aftercare and styling techniques to help you get the best from your new texture.
