A visit to a Japanese barber does not mean natural curls need to be removed or replaced. Start by showing which movement you want to preserve and which area is difficult to manage.
What to discuss
Explain whether the concern is width at the sides, a heavy fringe or the connection between top and back. Ask the barber to discuss the cut in relation to the natural movement rather than assuming a perm is needed because you like textured styles.
Plan your appointment
Bring a normal dry-hair photograph and describe the products you use. At the final demonstration, watch the drying and arranging sequence that supports the chosen finish. If any chemical service is considered, confirm its purpose, suitability and current availability separately. Keeping a feature you already like is a valid starting point for the plan.
