Should I let my aunt do my perm?

I just recently decided that I wanted to get a wavy perm. My hair is only about 3–4 inches passed my shoulders (since I had just gotten it cut last week), layered, and I have bangs that slant a bit.

My mom suggested that I let my aunt do the perm for me… she’s inexperienced since she has just gotten her hair cutting license and she’s around 55 and somewhat forgetful.

I really want a perm now, but I think if I went to a salon, my aunt would be sad, and my mom would disapprove of it as well.

Should I trust my hair with my aunt, or just leave my hair straight?

Anybody ever had a perm go bad?

Comments please. =D
