What Is Permanent Waving for Men?

A man’s perm uses modern chemical and setting techniques to add lasting curl, wave or texture to hair. Our stylists use tailored rod sizes and placement to shape curls or waves that enhance your haircut and hold their form with minimal effort needed.

Common styles for men include:

  • Curly Top Perms: A voluminous texture through the top, with fades or undercuts on the sides
  • Loose Waves: More casual and subtle, for a natural-looking finish
  • Spiral Perms: For bold definition and noticeable curl
  • Root or Partial Perms: Add lift to thinning areas or texturize specific sections for a fuller effect

Prices vary according to hair length, special effects, and additional services:

  • Full Perm: $100+
  • Spiral Perm: $150+

Why Men Choose Perms

Many men try permanent waving because it adds natural-looking volume and movement that’s hard to achieve with styling products alone. A perm also reduces the time spent styling each morning, making it a great option for low-maintenance routines. Unlike temporary cuts or product-based styles, the results last for months and pair seamlessly with popular fades, tapers and cropped sides.

Aftercare Tips for Men’s Perms

To keep your curls looking sharp and avoid unwanted frizz, follow these tips after your appointment:

  • Hold off on washing your hair for 48 – 72 hours
  • Use a hydrating, curl-friendly shampoo and conditioner for textured hair
  • Skip heavy gels and waxes, opting for lightweight curl creams or leave-in moisturizers
  • Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser to maintain shape without heat damage
