Im not entirely sure, but i think a lightly layered cut can make curly hair look good, especially with framing around the face. But i think they are cut in a different way to straight hair, they kinda get a section and twist it then cut it.
Stylingwise, again, depends on your hair type. Mine is ringlety and about a hand's length below shoulder length: I comb it with a wide-toothed comb in the shower (don't even run your fingers through it when it's dry cos it WILL frizz), apply a bit of curl cream when it's damp, and then blow dry upside-down with a diffuser when I can be bothered - otherwise I let it dry naturally and scrunch it with my fingers. You can also twist sections around a finger if you have a lot of time and want really defined curls. Basic rules: don't brush it. And don't brush it. And don't brush it! Good luck!
I'm no hairdresser, but I've been taught enough to know that whenever cutting curly hair, you use a different technique.
To the OP, I recommend seeing a professional. A perm is a very difficult (and somewhat dated) way to acheive curls, and especially cut. Going to see a professional (and I don't mean toni and guy!) will give you the best people for the job....
haha yeah I have curly hair, I brush it with a wide tooth comb in the shower, and then towel dry it, scrunch with finger and put on moose still scruching, then push it up into a bun (hard to describe - but basically pushing hair up as opposed to pulling hair up....:S) and let it to basically dry overnight. then as butterfly kisses said, DONT brush - i know someone with gorgeous curly hair and brushes it so it is FRIZZY! and it makes it look horrid!
