Perm? Yes, We Perm.

The 90-second guide to modern perms for men — 146 Franklin Street, Greenpoint

Perm? Yes, We Perm.

The modern men's perm has nothing to do with the 1980s. It's texture, movement and volume that looks like you woke up with it — and it's the fastest-growing thing we do in the shop. Here's the whole guide, short on purpose.

Pick your perm

Soft perm (loose wave) — subtle waves, not curls. The "is that natural?" perm. Best first perm.

Korean perm — structured volume with direction; the K-drama look. Made for straight hair that won't hold shape.

Wolf cut perm — the shaggy, layered cut everyone's searching this year, with texture built in so it styles itself.

Down perm — the opposite trick: it relaxes puffy sides so the cut sits close and clean. Ask us if your sides fight you.

Textured crop perm — short on the sides, permed on top. Maximum texture, minimum morning effort.

The three questions everyone asks

How long does it last? Three to six months, fading out gradually — no harsh grow-out line.

Will it wreck my hair? Modern formulas are far gentler than the old ones — and we check your hair first. If it's not ready, we'll tell you honestly and get it ready before we perm it.

How do I maintain it? Barely. Sea-salt spray or a light cream, air dry, done. That's the point.

The perm chair at Land of Barbers belongs to Joe — every wave on this page is his work. Consultation first, always: he reads your hair, your face shape and your patience level, and tells you which perm is actually yours.
