What is a down perm?
Thick or straight-growing hair often sticks out above the ears. A down perm relaxes those sections downward so the sides sit flat and the haircut keeps its shape — no wax or ironing needed. It's commonly paired with two-block and K-style men's cuts.

How a men's down perm is done
-
English consultation
We check your hair history, face shape and the look you want, using reference photos. -
Hair & elasticity test
A strand check tells us if bleached or damaged hair needs a protein pre-treatment first. -
Protective pre-treatment
Ampoule and protein care shield the hair before any perm solution is applied. -
Rod sizing & winding
Rod size and direction are chosen for the wave pattern and length you want. -
Setting & neutralising
Low-irritation solutions reshape and then lock the new shape; digital perms add controlled heat. -
Rinse, care & style
A conditioning rinse, then a styling lesson so you can recreate the look at home.
Aftercare: make your perm last
- Wait 48 hours before shampooing, swimming or tying your hair tightly.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a light curl cream or essence on damp ends.
- Dry roots first on a cool-warm setting, then shape the ends with your fingers.
- Book a trim or touch-up every 3–4 months to keep the shape fresh.
- Avoid colouring or bleaching for about 1–2 weeks after a perm unless your stylist plans both together.

Yes — most guests combine it with a men's cut so the shape and perm work together.
