To return to the present and eliminate the future of shithouse hair, thus altering the course of history and up styling the hair and lives of customers from across Adelaide and the greater Adelaide region.

She’s powerful... versatile... indestructible...

She feels no pity or remorse

No pain or fear.....

She is... THE PERMINATOR
