Perms have moved well beyond uniform curls. At Jacob’s Hair & Beauty in Burwood East, the starting point is the texture you want to live with: a softer wave, defined curl or added movement through straight hair. The consultation considers the haircut, the hair’s current condition and the amount of volume that feels right for you.

What this service involves
A perm uses a chemical solution and a selected rod pattern to reshape the hair’s structure. The approach varies with the desired curl, the natural texture and the way the finished hair should sit with the cut. The aim is a result that reads intentionally rather than a one-size-fits-all curl pattern.
Suitability and consultation
Perming is best considered on hair in a healthy enough condition for chemical processing. Fine hair can gain texture and volume, while straight hair can gain lasting movement. Bleach, colour history and previous chemical services are important parts of the conversation because heavily compromised hair may not be suitable.
Before and after expectations
Please share a clear history of colour, bleach and chemical work before booking. A perm changes the way the hair feels and behaves, and aftercare should include moisture, gentle handling and heat protection when styling. The curl or wave gradually relaxes as the hair grows and with normal wear.
Why choose Jacob’s Hair & Beauty?
Perming is technical work that rewards careful assessment. Jacob’s experience across salon environments in South Korea, the UK, Japan and Australia supports a direct consultation about what is appropriate for the hair today, the maintenance involved and the result that makes sense for your routine.

Frequently asked questions
Will a perm damage my hair?
Perms alter the hair’s structure, so suitability and aftercare should be discussed before proceeding. Hair that is heavily compromised may not be appropriate for the service.
How long does a perm last?
Results vary with hair type, curl pattern, routine and growth, but the curl or wave generally relaxes gradually over time rather than disappearing at once.
Can bleached hair be permed?
It depends on the condition and complete chemical history. The consultation is the right place to assess whether a perm is sensible or whether an alternative is safer.
