Korean Perm in Singapore: Salons, Prices, What to Expect

In short. Singapore has one of the most developed Korean salon scenes outside Korea, concentrated around Orchard Road and Tanjong Pagar. Of the 10 Korean salons in this directory, five publish perm prices in text on their own sites. A digital or setting perm there starts at S$260-358 before tax for short hair, about $203-280, and reaches S$438 (about $343) for long hair. A cold or natural perm costs S$150-418. The main trap when you compare: some salons quote before 9% GST, some include it.

How to choose a salon

Most salons here describe their stylists as Korean or Korea-trained, so the name says little. Ask instead:

Is there a machine, and is the heat setting chosen for my hair? Without a machine it is a cold perm, not a digital one.
Which perm solution do you use: brand, country, original or substitute? None of the ten salons names its solution brand on its site.
Are the photos of your work taken on dry hair or wet hair? A digital perm shows on dry hair; a cold perm looks strongest wet.
Do you do a test strand or assess my hair from photos first?

And one Singapore-specific question: is the price before or after GST and service charge?

Digital, cold or root perm

A digital or setting perm uses heated rods connected to a machine and gives a defined curl that shows on dry hair; it lasts up to six months. A cold perm uses no heat and gives a softer wave, usually for three to five months. A root perm lifts only the first centimetres for volume.

Local notes

Several salons sell perms in packages with a cut and a treatment, so compare the full package, not the first number. Senior stylists at the busier Orchard salons can be booked weeks ahead. Bada offers a free retouch within 10 days if you are unhappy with a perm.
