Perm Trends Available at NK Hairworks

At NK Hairworks, we offer a diverse range of hair perming services. Our stylists can help you choose the ideal perm to match your hair type, face shape, and desired style.

S-Curl Perm

The S-Curl perm creates loose, effortless S-shaped waves that add a carefree, tousled look to medium to long hair. This style adds natural volume and movement, giving you soft, flowing waves that are easy to manage and style.

C-Curl Perm

The C-Curl perm produces soft, inward curls at the ends of your hair, beautifully framing your face. This style adds a refined and natural-looking volume, making it an excellent option for straight hair that needs a touch of elegant shape and movement.

Korean Digital Perm

Known for its natural, bouncy waves, the Korean digital perm adds subtle elegance and movement inspired by K-beauty trends. This versatile perm creates a low-maintenance, polished look that enhances your hair’s natural flow, suitable for both long and short hair.

Volume (Root) Perm

Designed for fine or limp hair, the Volume perm adds lift and fullness directly from the roots. This style creates a bouncy, voluminous effect, providing extra body and thickness to your hair for a look that's fuller and more vibrant.

Men's Perm

Our hair perm services for men add natural texture, volume, and movement, enhancing modern masculine styles. From loose, natural curls to sharper, more defined curls, we craft a style that is low-maintenance yet effortlessly polished.

Beach Wave Perm

Mimicking the soft, tousled look of a day by the sea, our Beach Wave perm gives your hair a relaxed, lived-in texture. The loose, natural-looking waves add airy movement and bounce with a carefree finish that requires minimal styling.

Our Perming Methods

Finding the perfect perm is all about knowing what works best for you. At NK Hairworks, we offer various perming methods to suit your hair type and desired curl pattern, ensuring your new style is both beautiful and easy to manage.

We offer three perm methods to suit your unique style: the Digital and Cold perm.

Digital Perm (Hot Perm)

A Digital perm uses heat-controlled rods to create soft, bouncy curls that remain defined even after your hair dries. This method is ideal for those with coarse or thick hair who want a polished, lasting curl with minimal daily effort.

Cold Perm

A Cold perm uses a no-heat chemical solution to create classic curls. This gentler method is ideal for fine or damaged hair, creating relaxed, natural-looking waves that add volume and a subtle, soft texture.

Pre-Hair Perm: What to Prepare

Preparing your hair for a perm is crucial for achieving a long-lasting and beautiful result. Follow this checklist to ensure your hair is in the best possible condition for the treatment.

Maintain Hair Health

Apply nourishing hair masks weekly or get a hair scalp treatment to keep your hair strong and hydrated.

Avoid Chemical Treatments

Do not bleach, dye, or get any other chemical treatments on your hair in the weeks leading up to your perm appointment.

Don't Cut Your Hair

Wait to get your hair cut until your appointment. Your stylist can recommend the best haircut to complement your chosen perm.

Skip Washing

Avoid washing your hair on the day of the appointment. Your hair’s natural oils will help protect your scalp during the perming process.

What to Expect

Whether you visit our hair salon in Pasir Ris, Punggol, or any other location, your stylist will conduct a thorough hair assessment to ensure your hair is suitable for perming and to choose the right products and techniques for your desired outcome. They will also discuss your preferred style and answer any questions you may have before the process begins.

Post-Hair
Perm Care

To maintain the shape and longevity of your curls, follow these simple tips for post-hair perm care and maintenance.

Perm Maintenance

Wait Before Washing

Wait at least 48 hours after your hair perm before you wash your hair. This allows the curls to fully set.

Use the Right Products

Use shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for chemically treated or permed hair to maintain moisture and elasticity.

Ditch the Comb

Avoid using a comb or brush, as this can loosen the curls over time. Gently detangle your hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb when wet.

Be Gentle When Drying

Pat your hair dry with a towel instead of rubbing. For styling, use a diffuser on a low-heat setting to define curls and add volume.

Avoid Straightening

Refrain from using a hair iron or other heat-straightening tools, as this will undo your curls.

Protect Your Hair

Cover your hair with a swim cap when swimming to protect your curls from chlorine or saltwater.

Hear From Our Customers

See what our clients in Singapore are saying about our premium hair perm services.

I simply said, “Please keep my hairstyle but add texture,” and the stylist, AD, delivered! I have thick, stubbornly straight hair, which AD immediately noticed and adjusted the perm accordingly—without me even realising. Now, I have the softest waves.

Daniel, NK Hairworks @ Plaza Singapura

I have been an NK customer since 2019, and all their staff are always friendly and helpful. They take the time to explain every step of the process and the products they use, whether it’s shampooing, hair colouring, perming, or treatments—all of which I have tried. Many thanks to Stylist Alex, JJ, Seven, and Assistant Stylist Yan for their care and professionalism!

Patricia, NK Hairworks @ Bedok Mall

I booked an appointment at NK Hairworks’ Plaza Singapura branch for a perm and highlights, and I was very happy with the results! The stylist, Dudu, understood exactly what I was looking for and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend seeing her when visiting the salon!

Winnie, NK Hairworks @ Plaza Singapura

I got a Korean perm with hairstylist December, and it was my first time. It was a great experience with excellent service! I’m very happy with the results and will definitely do it again.

T M, NK Hairworks @ NEX

My daughter and I have been visiting Sharon at NK for many years for treatments, haircuts, perms, and colouring. I absolutely loved the perm she did for me a few months ago. My daughter enjoys accompanying me to NK whenever I have an appointment, even if she’s not getting anything done herself. We truly appreciate the wonderful service provided by Sharon and the NK team. Thank you very much!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hair Perm Services in Singapore

What’s the difference between perm type and perm method?

The term “perm type” refers to a specific style or shape of curls you desire, such as the C-Curl, S-Curl or Beach Wave Perm. Each type offers distinct results, from soft waves to tighter, defined curls. “Perm method,” on the other hand, pertains to the technique used to achieve these styles, involving different tools and chemical processes. Understanding both helps in selecting the service that best suits your hair.

What’s the difference between a C-Curl vs S-Curl perm?

A C-Curl perm creates soft, inward curls resembling the letter “C”, adding volume and a natural flow to the hair. In contrast, an S-Curl perm forms waves that mimic the shape of the letter “S”, offering a more defined and textured look. The choice between them depends on the desired curl pattern and overall style preference.

How long will the hair perm last?

The longevity of your perm results can vary, typically lasting for 3 to 6 months. A perm’s longevity is influenced by factors such as hair type, maintenance, and the specific technique used. To keep your perm looking its best, we recommend regular trims and using hair care products specifically formulated for permed hair. A trim will help maintain the shape and structure of your perm. Proper care, including using the right products and minimising heat styling, will also contribute to its lasting appearance. You can also consult our stylists for personalised advice.

Can I perm my hair if it is already coloured or bleached?

Yes, it’s possible to perm coloured or bleached hair; however, it is essential for us to assess the health of your hair beforehand. Chemically treated hair may be more susceptible to damage and breakage, so a thorough consultation with our professional stylist is recommended to determine the suitability of the perm and to choose the appropriate perming method for you.

How long does the perming process take?

The duration of the perming process varies based on hair length, thickness, and the chosen perm type. Generally, it can take anywhere from one to five hours. A consultation with our stylist will provide a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific hair and desired style.

What should I do before my perm appointment?

Prior to your perm appointment, it’s advisable to have a consultation with your stylist to discuss your desired outcome and assess your hair’s condition. Avoid washing your hair on the day of the appointment to allow natural oils to protect your scalp. Additionally, refrain from using heavy styling products in the days leading up to your visit.

How do I take care of my permed hair?

Caring for permed hair involves gentle handling and appropriate products. It’s recommended to wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair to allow the curls to set. Use shampoos and conditioners formulated for chemically treated hair to maintain moisture and elasticity. Minimise the use of heat styling tools and opt for air-drying or using a diffuser with a cool setting to preserve your curls.
