Perms today are all about individuality, softness and movement. At Arinni Hair in Melbourne CBD, we create perms that work with your features and lifestyle, not against them. Think natural-looking texture, wearable curls, and waves that still feel like “you” – just with a bit more personality.
We take the time to properly consult before every service. Your stylist will look at your current hair health, previous colour or chemical history, and the type of curl or wave you’re hoping to achieve. From there, we design a look that suits your face shape and the way you like to wear your hair day to day. Our focus is always on results that grow out well, are practical to maintain, and feel effortless rather than overdone.

Perms can be as subtle or as statement-making as you’d like. A women’s perm might mean soft, beachy waves for everyday wear, or more defined curls for extra volume and bounce. If you like that relaxed, undone look, a loose perm is a great option for women – giving you soft movement through the mid-lengths and ends without feeling overly styled.
Perms are equally popular with our male clients – a men’s perm can add texture, structure and shape, making styling easier and giving straight or fine hair a more defined look. A loose perm for men has become especially sought after, creating natural-looking waves on the top while keeping the overall haircut clean and modern. It’s a simple way to add character without committing to high-maintenance daily styling.
We’re also honest about what will and won’t work. Not every hair type is suited to every curl pattern, and we’ll always prioritise the health of your hair. If a perm isn’t the right option right now, we’ll talk through alternatives, treatments, or a staged plan to get you closer to the look you want.
Because perms are a chemical service, our approach is gentle and considered. We assess the condition of your hair beforehand and use techniques and products designed to protect strength and elasticity. Our goal is texture that looks beautiful and still feels soft, hydrated and touchable. We’ll also walk you through aftercare – how to cleanse, condition and style your new curls or waves, as well as which products will support the shape without weighing it down. You leave not just with a fresh perm, but with a clear idea of how to look after it at home (we offer this same comprehensive service for all our appointments, from standard hair colouring and bleaching to hair foils balayage and hair straightening).

If you’ve been thinking about trying texture or refreshing your curls, we’d love to help. Our stylists create modern, personalised perms in Melbourne CBD for men and women, from loose waves to fuller, more defined curls.
