Digital Perm Now Available at Shinbi Salon

Posted on February 3rd, 2017 by Shinbi Salon

The new, long-lasting, permanent body wave "digital perm" is finally here at Shinbi Salon! We're currently the only salon on the peninsula to offer this service. Call us for more details, 831-373-7919.

A digital perm is for someone: who has fine hair that needs volume and body, who has straight hair that needs movement in their hair, who has unmanageable and uneven waves in their hair that needs to be uniform, or who likes to curl their hair with a curling iron but doesn't want to damage the hair. A digital perm makes the wave most prominent when the hair is dry, and loose when it's wet. In addition, digital perms thermally recondition the hair so it often feels softer, smoother, and shinier after the perm. And it lasts from 8 months to a year!

Shinbi Salon is located at 421 Alvarado Street in Old Monterey.
