It's Friday! No more needs to be said, eh?
- When a beautician makes your hair stay wavy or curly for a long time (usually a few months) by using chemicals and (sometimes) heat, you get your hair permed.
You can also say get a perm.*
*"Perm" is short for "permanent" or "permanent wave". - 美容院で、パーマをかける（髪にウエーブやカールをつけ、それを薬品や熱によって数ヶ月もたせるようにする）と言いたいとき、get your hair permed と言います。
get a perm とも言います。*
*perm は、permanent や permanent wave を短くした言葉です。
- At the beauty salon across from the station, it costs 10,000 yen to get your hair permed. That's more than I can afford.
- I'm getting my hair permed tomorrow afternoon for Karen's wedding.
- a: Have you ever gotten a perm?
b: I've never needed to. My hair is naturally curly.
Now enjoy your weekend!
