Moving away from a long-standing side part may require a transition rather than a single dramatic cut. Show your barber both the current arrangement and the eventual style you want.
What to discuss
Ask which length should be retained to support the new direction. Explain whether you are willing to grow the fringe and whether the old separation returns after washing. The barber should distinguish a temporary styling habit from natural growth that will continue to influence the result.
Plan your appointment
If a Japanese perm is proposed, ask what problem it would solve and whether your hair condition supports it. An iron perm does not relocate natural growth and is not recommended on bleached hair. Agree on a presentable intermediate shape instead of repeatedly cutting away the length needed for your goal.
