Hairstylist extraordinaire, Mallory Mayhem, is the mastermind behind this edible-inspired hair phenomenon. “I was inspired by the iconic snack,” Mayhem explained. “The Cheeto’s unique shape reminded me of an unforgettable perm.” And so, the Cheeto-shaped perm was born. The process begins with a generous application of perm solution, followed by the meticulous placement of specially designed rollers. These rollers, shaped like miniature Cheeto fingers, create the distinctive puffed-up curls that have become synonymous with the salon. Once the solution has set, the rollers are removed, revealing a cascade of crunchy, orange-tinted hair that resembles the beloved snack. “It’s like having a permanent Cheeto party on your head,” Mayhem enthused. Despite its quirky nature, the Cheeto-shaped perm has garnered a surprising following. From punk rockers to stay-at-home moms, people from all walks of life have embraced this eccentric hair trend. “It’s so outrageous and fun,” exclaimed customer Millie Blake. “I feel like I’m walking around with a piece of art on my head.” However, the Cheeto-shaped perm does come with its limitations. Due to the delicate nature of the curls, brushing is strictly verboten. And while the color is vibrant initially, it tends to fade over time, leaving behind a more subdued shade of orange. Undeterred, Mallory Mayhem continues to push the boundaries of hair design, introducing new variations on the Cheeto-shaped perm, such as the “Flamin’ Hot” version and the “Extreme Cheese” perm. “Portland is a city that celebrates individuality,” Mayhem said. “And I think our Cheeto-shaped perms are just another way to express that.” So, if you’re looking for a hairstyle that’s as bold, crunchy, and unforgettable as the snack that inspired it, look no further than Curl Power. Just be prepared for the inevitable craving for a side of cheese dip whenever you gaze in the mirror.
