Picasso Hair Studio - The Perm Specialist
Founded in 2014, Picasso Hair Studio specialises in innovative perming services. The Studio constantly innovates in these arenas to bring about new services to its customers. With 60% of customers doing perm in the studio, Picasso has permed more than 20,000 heads since its opening! There is no doubt that they are the specialists to look for when you want to do a perm in Singapore.
With the hype in Korean Perms in the last few years, they have also customised 3 types of popular Korean Perm to suit the local weather and lifestyle for short and longer hair. In general, Korean Perms are all about looking natural as if you are born with the curls. Thus instead of very defined curls, Korean perms are all about big, loose waves.
And unlike Japanese perms, Korean perms are usually heavy bottom, making them easier to blowdry.
Korean Flow Perm is a perm suitable for long chest length hair, distinct by loose flowy waves. For ladies with shoulder to mid length hair, who don’t want as many curls, the Korean Romantic Perm is recommended which is a mixture of C and S curls with a low layered haircut.
Are you looking for stylists that do perms for short hair? Picasso Hair studio recommends that women with a short bob opt for the Picasso Korean Wave Perm. This is a cold perm which gives volume and texture to the hair without distinct curls.
If you don’t know which perming style would suit you best, you are still in good hands. Before every perm, Picasso’s Hair designers will look at your faceshape, and understand your lifestyle needs before recommending a perm style that is suited for you.
