If swimming is part of your weekly routine, tell your barber before a perm rather than adding it as an afterthought. Pool visits, washing and the way you dry your hair all belong in a realistic maintenance conversation.
What to discuss
Bring your actual swimming schedule and ask for advice specific to the treatment selected. Do not interpret permission to shampoo on the treatment day as a blanket answer about pool chemicals or prolonged soaking. Likewise, the instruction to avoid a sauna that day concerns a different activity. Ask the treating barber to distinguish the two clearly.
Plan your appointment
Explain whether you can dry and finish your hair after each swim. A style that suits your normal workday may require a different finishing plan after a pool visit. Agree on a routine you will actually follow, and confirm technique availability before booking.
Perm courses start at AUD250 including haircut and shaving. Confirm the technique, suitability, quote and required time before booking. Iron perms are not recommended on bleached hair. Written by Ryunosuke Kano, HIROGINZA Sydney.
