What is a volume perm?
A volume perm treats only the root area so the hair stands up slightly from the scalp. It is the go-to fix for fine Asian or Western hair that goes flat by noon, and it pairs well with C-curl ends for a full, polished shape.

How a volume perm is done
-
English consultation
We check your hair history, face shape and the look you want, using reference photos. -
Hair & elasticity test
A strand check tells us if bleached or damaged hair needs a protein pre-treatment first. -
Protective pre-treatment
Ampoule and protein care shield the hair before any perm solution is applied. -
Rod sizing & winding
Rod size and direction are chosen for the wave pattern and length you want. -
Setting & neutralising
Low-irritation solutions reshape and then lock the new shape; digital perms add controlled heat. -
Rinse, care & style
A conditioning rinse, then a styling lesson so you can recreate the look at home.
Aftercare: make your perm last
- Wait 48 hours before shampooing, swimming or tying your hair tightly.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a light curl cream or essence on damp ends.
- Dry roots first on a cool-warm setting, then shape the ends with your fingers.
- Book a trim or touch-up every 3–4 months to keep the shape fresh.
- Avoid colouring or bleaching for about 1–2 weeks after a perm unless your stylist plans both together.

Volume perm FAQ
Will a volume perm make my hair curly?
No. It targets the roots for lift; the lengths stay straight unless you add C-curl or S-curl ends.
How long does root volume last?
Usually 2–3 months — it reduces as the hair grows out from the scalp.
Can I combine volume with a digital perm?
Yes. Our Digital Setting & Root Volume Combo (from 280,000 KRW) lifts the roots and waves the ends in one visit.
