A gentle front wave with restrained sides is a specific proportion goal. Show where the wave should appear and how closely you want the side outline to sit.

What to discuss

Ask whether your current lengths support that contrast. A photo with a different fringe length or very short sides may not represent the same plan. Discuss whether the sides need a haircut change, a different drying routine or assessment for a separate technique.

Plan your appointment

An iron perm can enter the conversation when controlled movement is the goal, but it should not be promised from the photograph alone. Both Ryunosuke and Rika assess the hair and chemical history before recommending treatment. Confirm the requested technique, final cost and available time, and learn the finishing steps expected at home.

Perm courses start at AUD250 including haircut and shaving. Confirm the technique, suitability, quote and required time before booking. Iron perms are not recommended on bleached hair. Written by Ryunosuke Kano, HIROGINZA Sydney.
