Comparing photographs labelled “Japanese perm” and “Korean perm” before booking in Sydney? Rather than asking you to choose by a national label alone, we ask which part of the hairstyle you want to recreate.

Compare the visible details

Look at the fringe direction, curl definition, volume at the top and outline at the sides. Two photographs can appeal for different reasons, even if they carry the same description. Bring your preferred examples and tell us what you like in each one.

Discuss the technique separately

At HIROGINZA Sydney CBD, our menu of techniques includes nuance, spiral, twist spiral, iron and down perms. We recommend an approach after discussing your desired finish, actual hair and chemical history. We do not decide the method from a photograph’s label alone.

Think about the morning after

Your styling routine matters to the choice. Explain how much time you want to spend drying and finishing your hair, and whether you prefer a softer or more defined texture. Product advice is tailored to the agreed style.

Both Ryunosuke Kano and Rika Kano provide perms from AUD 250, including a haircut and shaving. View our Sydney CBD booking menu to arrange your appointment.
