Perms, root lift & down perm

AirFlow Texture is S$188 / S$288; Korean Air Volume is S$288 / S$388; Soft Wave Digital options are S$388 / S$488 / S$588. Root Lift is S$148. The higher price does not mean every curl is automatically easier; compare the stated care and design scope.

The 3AM menu uses texture for subtle movement, volume for a fuller outline, and digital waves for a more defined wave design. These styling goals can overlap. Ask which process and placement will create your reference instead of choosing from the name alone.

Crown Lift Root Perm is S$148 and is aimed at lift around the crown, not a full-length wave service. Point out the flat areas and your usual parting. Confirm whether it is being booked alone or alongside another separately priced service.

Side Down Perm is S$128 for the sides; Full Contour Down Perm is S$188 for a broader contour adjustment. Ask which areas would be treated and whether a haircut is also wanted. The menu does not automatically include a cut with the down perm.

Use the photo to discuss the shape, not as a guarantee of a copy. Show where the curl starts and how loose it should look when dry. Your length, layers and daily styling time affect the plan, so ask for the practical routine as well as the salon finish.

First decide whether you need root support, movement through the lengths or less bulk at the sides. Ask the stylist to assess the current condition and the load of previous services. More curl is not automatically the answer to every flat-hair complaint.

It requires an in-person assessment; it is not automatically suitable because a care option is added. Bring the full bleach, dye and smoothing history. Discuss whether a non-chemical styling approach is preferable until the lengths can be assessed.

Care Texture S$288 and Care Wave S$488 list perm-care essence. The Korean Care Volume and Custom Wave options should have their exact proposed steps confirmed in consultation. Do not assume all higher-priced services include the same product or a haircut.

Do not choose a perm on that promise. Ask the stylist to demonstrate drying direction, product use and the finish without intensive salon styling. Explain how many minutes you realistically spend each morning so the proposed curl suits that routine.

Tell the stylist the exact products and previous services before combining chemical work. The sequence and spacing should follow product instructions and your hair assessment. Do not book both solely to save a trip; ask which goal should take priority.
