Park Slope Hair Perm: Korean Digital Perm in Brooklyn
Specialty Perms and Hair Design Near Park Slope
Park Slope is a Brooklyn neighborhood of tree-lined brownstone streets running west from Prospect Park, with busy shopping and restaurant strips along Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue. If you want a Korean digital perm, Japanese hair straightening, balayage, or a Korean-inspired layered cut, Seoul Scissors operates inside Hair by Fendi at 7513 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, south of Park Slope, with street and metered parking nearby.
Nicole has more than 25 years behind the chair in Seoul, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. The work focuses on three things: Japanese hair straightening that holds for four to six months, Korean digital perms for soft natural waves, and cuts designed around hair density and growth pattern rather than a photograph. The goal is hair that still looks right on day three, week three, and month three — not just the day of the appointment.

Why Park Slope
Perms, Straightening, and Color for Park Slope Clients
Dimensional color that grows out softly, Korean digital perms for natural movement, and Japanese hair straightening for sleek, low-maintenance results are all specialties at Seoul Scissors. Park Slope’s brownstone blocks and proximity to Prospect Park give it a quieter, more residential feel than the busier commercial strips of southern Brooklyn.
Perming and straightening take experience. The difference between a perm that holds for five months and one that falls flat in five weeks comes down to rod selection, solution strength, processing time, and the stylist’s read on hair elasticity at the moment of the strand test. Nicole has been doing this work for more than 25 years.
Seoul Scissors operates inside Hair by Fendi at 7513 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, south of Park Slope, with street and metered parking on 13th Avenue and the surrounding residential side streets. Kensington, Midwood, Sunset Park, and Bay Ridge are also within driving distance of the salon.

Hair Type
Finding the Best Perm for Your Hair Texture
Hair textures vary widely — from fine and straight to thick, wavy, curly, or coarse and dense — and a perm or straightening that works beautifully on one client can damage another’s hair. Nicole evaluates density, porosity, elasticity, scalp sensitivity, and prior chemical history before recommending any perm technique. The goal is to match the right technique to your hair, not to push a service. A strand test during the consultation confirms compatibility before any solution is applied.
Very Dense Hair
The goal may be to create movement and remove unnecessary weight without making the ends look thin. Strategic layering and rod selection matter more than thinning.
Fine Hair
Volume magic perm or lighter rod configurations can add body without stress. The goal is to preserve weight and fullness rather than removing too much.
Color-Treated Hair
Strand test required. Single-process color, balayage, and highlights up to level 7 are typically compatible. Bleached hair at level 9 or higher is generally not a candidate.
Previously Processed Hair
Full evaluation of prior perms, straightening, and Japanese relaxers. Nicole will not perform a service that risks breakage — she will tell you directly if your hair is not a candidate.
The Stylist
A Stylist With 25+ Years of Perm Experience
Nicole has spent more than 25 years behind the chair, with experience in Seoul and Manhattan salons before opening her Brooklyn studio inside Hair by Fendi on 13th Avenue. Her work concentrates on chemical texture services — perms, Japanese straightening, and structured cuts — along with dimensional color, and on how different hair textures respond to heat, solution, and time.
The consultation matters as much as the technique. Every appointment begins with a conversation about hair history, lifestyle, and the look you actually want to live with — not just the photograph you brought in. Hair length, density, texture, previous color, and chemical history all affect what is possible. The goal is the best version of the look for you.

Questions
Questions Park Slope Clients Often Ask
Where is Seoul Scissors located relative to Park Slope?
Seoul Scissors operates inside Hair by Fendi at 7513 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights, south of Park Slope. The drive from Seventh Avenue runs via surface streets. Metered street parking is available directly on 13th Avenue and on the surrounding residential side streets.
Is street parking available near the salon?
Yes — metered street parking is available directly on 13th Avenue and on the surrounding residential side streets in Dyker Heights. Most clients find a spot within two blocks of the salon, particularly on weekday mornings.
How long should I plan for the full appointment?
A Korean digital perm appointment runs roughly 2.5 to 3 hours from consultation through final styling. Japanese hair straightening and iron perms typically take 2 to 2.5 hours. Volume magic perms run 2 to 2.5 hours. Two-block haircuts alone take 45 to 60 minutes. Many clients from the area combine a perm with a refresh cut, which extends total chair time to about 3.5 hours. Nicole schedules one client at a time, so there is no waiting between steps.
Will the Korean perm work on color-treated or previously permed hair?
In many cases yes, but it depends on the condition of the hair shaft. Nicole performs a strand test during the consultation to assess porosity and elasticity. Hair that has been bleached to a level 9 or higher is generally not a candidate. Single-process color, balayage, and highlights up to level 7 are typically compatible. If your hair is not a candidate, Nicole will tell you directly.
Can I schedule a phone consultation before my first visit?
Yes — and Nicole recommends it for first-time clients. A 15-minute phone consultation (315-333-2578) or email exchange (nicole@seoulscissors.com) covers hair history, current condition, lifestyle, and the look you’re aiming for. From there, Nicole recommends the right service and gives you an honest estimate of how long results will last in your specific hair type.
How long does a Korean digital perm hold its wave?
A properly executed Korean digital perm holds its wave pattern for 3 to 6 months, depending on hair type, density, growth rate, and how the hair is styled between washes. The wave grows out softly, with no harsh regrowth line as with older cold-wave perms, so a style that holds for months between salon visits fits a busy schedule.
Do I have to be Asian to get a Korean perm or Japanese straightening?
No. Korean and Japanese-inspired perm and straightening techniques work on a wide range of hair types and textures. They are techniques, not ethnic categories. Nicole evaluates each client’s hair individually and recommends the technique that will produce the best result for that specific hair type.
