WHAT IS A MODERN PERM?
Forget everything you think you know about old-school perms.
Today’s modern perms are:
Soft and natural-looking
Customised to your hair type
Designed for movement and texture
Easy to style and maintain
We create everything from loose beachy waves to defined spiral curls, tailored to suit your lifestyle and face shape.
We have some very specific memories stored when asked
Younger people often ask “What is a perm?” This is usually asked people who has not had a chance to experience permed bangs, big hair which are better to be left in the 80’s. Instead, let’s say “hello” to the cool modern hairstyles for permed hair!
Perm Hair Update
With modern perms you can vary the size and tightness of your curls ending up with a personalized hairstyle that does not shout “Oh, yeah, it’s a perm!” and is not restricted to extra voluminous frizzy hair of the past. Now
Curls are anything but regular and symmetrical. In fact, the thing that makes curly hair so mesmerizing is that it’s never the same anytime you style it. A perm will give you permanent waves, and because of the irregularity of curls, you may enjoy completely new hairstyles everyday!

FAQsWhat are the benefits of getting a hair perm in Perth?A modern perm is all about making your hair easier to live with while enhancing its natural look and feel. It adds lasting texture, movement and body, so your hair already has shape when you wake up. No need to reach for heat tools every day! For those with fine or flat hair, it can create a fuller, more dimensional finish while also helping reduce frizz and improve manageability. With the right technique, a perm can give you a polished yet effortless look that holds its form for months.
How long do modern perms last in Perth salons?Modern perms can hold their shape for around three to six months depending on your hair type, aftercare routine and the style of curl you choose. Softer, looser waves may relax sooner, while tighter curls can maintain their structure for longer. Regular trims and the right hair care products will help keep your perm looking fresh, defined and healthy throughout its lifespan. If you’re ready to enjoy beautiful texture and long-lasting movement, get in touch with our salon to book your appointment.
Can a perm add volume and texture to my hair in Perth?Yes, this is one of the key reasons people opt for hair perming. By restructuring the hair, a perm naturally lifts it from the root and introduces texture through the lengths, creating the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. Whether you’re after soft waves or more defined curls, the result is added dimension and movement that can transform flat or lifeless hair into something more dynamic and easy to style.
What’s the difference between a modern perm and an old-fashioned hair perm in Perth salons?The biggest difference comes down to technique and the final result. Traditional hair perming was often associated with tight, uniform curls and a more rigid finish. Modern perms, on the other hand, focus on creating a natural-looking texture that complements your hair and personal style. Today’s approach uses updated methods, varied rod sizes and tailored placement to achieve softer, more irregular waves or curls that move freely and don’t feel overly “set”. |
