What Is a Digital Perm?

A digital perm uses heated rods with precise temperature control to set soft, bouncy waves and curls. The curl looks most defined when your hair is dry, so everyday styling stays quick and easy.

Digital perms suit medium to long hair and create the loose, effortless waves popularized by Japanese and Korean salons. Plan on about 4 hours for your appointment.

Korean Perms for Women & Men

Korean-style perms create soft, face-framing shapes, from C-curl and S-curl waves on longer hair to textured, natural movement for men. Leo’s training in Japan and South Korea shapes how he designs each look.

Design perms are a shorter option, about 2 hours, for softer, customized waves. Prefer sleek and straight instead? Explore our Japanese hair straightening.

Do you perm men’s hair?

Yes. We perm men’s hair too, including Korean-style perms for soft texture and natural movement.

Digital perms typically last several months, depending on your hair type, length and how you care for it.
