BEST BESPOKE PERM

Credit: Kimage Salon
1/4

Where

Kimage, #02-46/47 Parkway Parade, tel: 6743-2700 Treatment Trend Perm, $260 (includes a haircut, and pre- and post-perm treatments)

What it is

Using S-curls, C-curls and loose waves, the stylist customises the perfect perm combo for your hair texture. The result: a low-maintenance look that combines curls at the ends with a relaxed hair length.

Our tester says

“My hair looks so good that I’d go back for the perm again.”

BEST LOW- DAMAGE PERM

2/4

Where

Picasso Hair Studio, #01-49 Goldhill Plaza, tel: 6224-0221; 662 North Bridge Road, tel: 6291-0691 Treatment Advante Perm, $459 (inclusive of a haircut)

What it is

The perm uses an acidic lotion that’s gentler on hair, yet delivers shine and softness. You can even re- perm your locks in as soon as four months. An in- depth consultation ensures that the perm is suited to your skin tone, eye colour and even nose shape. The result: low-maintenance curls and a face-flattering layered cut.

Our tester says

“My hair felt really soft and smooth, like I went for a treatment rather than a perm. Even after a few days, my hair felt as nourished and the curls looked the same as when I left the salon.”

BEST LONG- LASTING PERM

3/4

Where

Prep Luxe, #01-62 Capitol Piazza, tel: 6384-1406 Treatment Treatment Infused Perm, from $220

What it is

A special process repairs and protects hair while giving you beautiful, long-lasting and bouncy curls. It’s even suitable for chemically treated hair. Our stylist was meticulous, creating easy-to-maintain, natural waves.

Our tester says

“I left with the curls I wanted. The technique also ensured that the curls would be more ‘hardy’.”

BEST PERM FOR BOBS

4/4

Where

Black Hair Salon, #B2-44 Capitol Piazza, tel: 6835-9976 Treatment Signature Couture Perm With Care+, from $369

What it is

A customised perming solution is used to create everything from glam curls to tousled body waves. The Care+ patented ingredient adds shine and doubles as a smoothing treatment. We left the salon with a long bob, with the new ends curled to suit our face shape.

Our tester says

“It was a leap of faith to do the chop but it paid off – I really like my new look. Maintenance has been super easy and pretty much fuss-free.”
