Cold Perm in Myeongdong, Seoul
The classic perm without heated rods — natural curl that sits close to the head, ideal for short hair, men's texture perms and a fresh, wet-look wave.
A cold perm sets curl with perm solution at room temperature, without heated rods, so the curl looks most defined when hair is damp. At JUNO HAIR Myeongdong Branch 4 a cold perm starts from ₩160,000 for men and ₩250,000 for women, takes about 1.5–2.5 hours, and suits short to medium hair.
Natural curl, close to the root
Because a cold perm does not use heat, curl can be placed right up to the root and on very short sections — something heated rods cannot do as easily. The result is a natural, slightly wet-look curl that is most defined after washing and looks great with a little cream or mousse.
It is the base for most Korean men's perms, such as shadow and texture perms that go well with a men's haircut. For long hair that should look wavy when dry, a digital perm is usually the better choice.
- Works on short hair and close to the root
- Most defined when damp or with product
- The usual method for men's texture perms
- Shorter appointment than heat perms
- Pairs well with a fresh cut in the same visit
