At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate, we are seeing more men asking for modern permed styles, especially the popular permed top look. This style works particularly well with shorter back and sides, giving the hair on top more body, curl and personality.
A men’s perm is a specialist service, so it is important to choose a salon with the right experience. Our team will always begin with a consultation, allowing us to assess your hair, discuss the look you would like and give you a clear price before booking your perm appointment.
What Is A Men’s Perm?
A men’s perm is a professional chemical service that changes the shape of the hair to create curl, wave or added movement.
Modern men’s perms are very different from the tight, old-fashioned perms many people remember. Today, the result can be much softer and more natural-looking, with the curl tailored to suit your haircut, hair type and personal style.
For many men, the aim is not to create a dramatic all-over curl. It is often about adding texture through the top of the hair, so the finished style looks fuller, more relaxed and easier to manage.
Why Is The Permed Top So Popular?
The permed top has become one of the most requested men’s hair trends because it gives straight or flat hair more shape.
This look is especially popular with shorter back and sides, as the contrast between the clean sides and textured top creates a modern, wearable finish. It can be styled loose and natural, or with more definition depending on the type of curl you choose.
It is also a good option for men who struggle to get their hair to hold a style. Adding curl or wave can make the hair feel fuller and give it more natural movement, which often means less daily styling is needed.
Why Choose Peter Gotthard Hairdressing For A Men’s Perm In Harrogate?
Perming is a technical service and should always be carried out by an experienced hairdresser. The condition of the hair, the curl size, the placement and the timing all need to be carefully considered.
At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing in Harrogate, our experienced team will take the time to understand your hair before recommending the right approach. We will look at your current style, your hair condition and whether your hair has been coloured, lightened or chemically treated before.
Our priority is to create a result that looks good, feels manageable and keeps your hair in the best possible condition.
Why Do I Need A Consultation Before A Men’s Perm?
Every men’s perm appointment starts with a consultation because every head of hair is different. During your consultation, your stylist will assess your hair length, strength, texture and condition. We will also talk through the look you would like, how much curl you want and how you normally style your hair at home.
A consultation also allows us to check whether your hair is suitable for perming. If your hair needs to be grown a little longer, strengthened first or treated more carefully because of previous colour work, we will explain this clearly.
As we do not offer one set price without seeing your hair first, your consultation allows us to give you accurate advice and a personalised price for your perm.
Is My Hair Suitable For A Perm?
A perm can be a great option for many men, but your hair does need to be suitable for the service.
Your hair must be long enough to wrap and strong enough to cope with the perming process. If your hair is very short, fragile, damaged or heavily lightened, your stylist may recommend waiting, growing it a little longer or improving the condition before going ahead.
This does not mean you cannot have the look in future. It simply means we want to protect the health of your hair and make sure the finished result is something you are happy with.
How Do I Look After A Men’s Perm?
Aftercare makes a big difference to how your perm looks and lasts. Your stylist will explain how to care for your new texture at home, including when to wash your hair, which products to use and how to style it. Using the right shampoo, conditioner and styling products can help keep curls defined, reduce frizz and support the condition of the hair.
We can also show you simple styling tips during your appointment, so you feel confident managing your new look once you leave the salon.
