The Top Men’s Hair Trend
Modern Men’s Perms And Permed Top Styles At Headfirst Hair Salon In Leeds
The modern men’s perm is back, and the permed top has quickly become one of the most requested looks for younger clients who want more texture, volume and movement through their hair.
At Headfirst Hair Salon in Leeds, we are seeing more men and young lads asking for this look, especially when they want to keep the sides shorter but add curl, shape and fullness through the top. It is a great style for hair that feels flat, difficult to style or lacking in natural movement.
Key Takeaways

Perming is a specialist service, and it is something our team has a lot of experience in. Several of our stylists regularly carry out perms, and clients visit us from across Leeds and the surrounding areas because they know they are in safe hands.
What Is A Men’s Perm?
A men’s perm is a chemical service that changes the shape of the hair to create curl, wave or movement. While older perms were often very tight and uniform, modern perms are much softer and more wearable.
For men, the most popular look at the moment is the permed top. This usually means keeping the back and sides shorter while adding texture and curl through the longer hair on top. The finished result can be styled in different ways, from loose and natural to more defined and curly.
The aim is not to make the hair look overdone. A good men’s perm should suit the person wearing it, work with their haircut and make everyday styling easier.
Why Is The Permed Top So Popular?
The permed top has become a big trend because it gives the hair shape without needing too much styling every day. For young men in particular, it is a simple way to get a more fashionable, fuller look while still keeping the overall cut sharp and easy to manage.
It can work well for clients who feel their hair is too straight, too flat or does not hold a style for long. By adding curl and texture through the top, the hair has more body and more natural movement, which can make a big difference to the finished look.
It is also a style that can be adapted. Some clients want a soft wave, while others prefer a stronger curl. This is why the consultation is so important before booking the service.
Why Choose Headfirst For A Men’s Perm In Leeds?
Not every salon or barber offers perming, and it is important to choose a team that understands the process properly. At Headfirst Hair Salon in Leeds, perming is one of the services we are known for, and several members of our team are confident and experienced in creating modern perms.
We take the time to look at your hair carefully before recommending the best option. Your hair length, condition, natural texture and any previous colour or chemical services can all affect the result. This is especially important with perming, as the health of the hair must always come first.
Our aim is to create a perm that looks good, suits your haircut and works for your day-to-day routine.
Why Do I Need A Consultation Before A Men’s Perm?
Every men’s perm at Headfirst begins with a consultation. This allows us to assess your hair properly and make sure the service is right for you.
During your consultation, we will look at the length and condition of your hair, talk about the type of curl or wave you would like, and explain what can realistically be achieved. We will also discuss how you normally wear your hair, how much styling you are happy to do at home, and what aftercare will be needed.
Because every head of hair is different, we do not give one set price for men’s perms without seeing your hair first. After your consultation, we can give you a personalised price based on your hair and the result you would like to achieve.
Is My Hair Suitable For A Perm?
A perm can be a brilliant option for many men, but it is not suitable for every hair type or condition. Hair needs to be long enough to wrap and strong enough to cope with the perming process.
If your hair is very short, heavily bleached, damaged or fragile, we may recommend waiting, growing it slightly longer or improving the condition before going ahead. This is not about saying no to the style. It is about making sure the finished result looks good and your hair stays healthy.
Your stylist will give you honest advice during your consultation, so you know exactly what is possible before booking your appointment.
How Long Does A Men’s Perm Last?
How long a men’s perm lasts can depend on your hair type, the curl you choose, how quickly your hair grows and how well you look after it at home. Your stylist will explain this in more detail during your appointment and recommend the best products to help keep your curls looking their best.
Good aftercare is important. Using the right shampoo, conditioner and styling products can help support the shape of your perm and keep the hair feeling healthy.
