Men's Perms Are Back: What to Expect From a Haircut & Perm
Perms went out of style for a couple of decades and came back for a good reason: they solve a real problem. If your hair is naturally flat, thin, or straight and you want volume, waves, or defined curls without styling it every single morning, a Haircut & Perm does the work permanently instead of temporarily.
What a Modern Men's Perm Actually Looks Like
Forget the tight, uniform curls of decades past. Today's texturizing perm uses larger rods and a lighter solution to create:
- Natural-looking waves rather than ringlet curls
- Added volume and lift at the root, especially for fine or flat hair
- Texture that pairs well with shorter to medium-length cuts
The Process
- Consultation and cut first — we cut close to your target length before perming, since perm rods need manageable length to wrap properly
- Rod placement — size and pattern chosen based on the wave or curl intensity you want
- Perm solution application — processed for a set time based on your hair's texture and porosity
- Neutralizing — locks in the new curl pattern
- Final taper cut — cleans up the shape once the perm has set
Who This Is Best For
- Fine, flat hair that won't hold volume with product alone
- Guys who want a wash-and-go routine without daily heat styling
- Textured cuts that benefit from consistent wave pattern throughout
Aftercare
Avoid washing for 24–48 hours after your perm to let the curl pattern fully set, and use a light, sulfate-free shampoo afterward to keep the texture from loosening prematurely.
