Men's down perm for flyaway sides at a Suseong, Daegu hair salon

I'm Rosie, recording our days with our chubby-cheeked baby Somsom 🌷 Men's hair only needs to grow a little before the sides start flying up and the top flattens down, making the whole thing look messy pretty fast. This time my husband didn't want a perm with too much curl — he wanted something that didn't scream 'I got a perm' but was still noticeably neater than usual, so he wanted an expert's hands on it.

At 26do Hair Suseong Branch, a hair salon near Daebong-dong, he got a top/side down perm, a natural perm, and a cut all together. The volume definitely came back, but the curl doesn't stand out — even I thought it turned out pretty classy.

26do Hair Suseong Branch location and salon atmosphere

26do Hair Suseong Branch is located in the Lotte Castle commercial building near Daebonggyo, and it's within walking distance of Daebonggyo Station, so accessibility was pretty good. It's a good spot to check out if you're looking for a hair salon in Daebong-dong or a place in Suseong-gu that does men's perms well.

Also, since they run a 1:1 dedicated director personal consultation, I got the sense they even design the overall atmosphere around you.

The salon overall has a clean, tidy vibe, so it was comfortable to sit through the whole service.

Men's cut: what to keep, what to trim

Director Nayeon handled this session, starting with a cut to trim the overall length and shaggy shape — she was really meticulous and skilled!

What my husband wanted wasn't a super short or overly styled look — he was going for something office-friendly and naturally everyday. So she neatened up the side lines while leaving enough length on top for the volume to come through 👏🏻

Personally, when I'm choosing a men's hair salon in Daegu, this is exactly what I pay attention to. For men's hair, it's less about how many centimeters you cut and more about where you keep length and where you trim it — that really changes the overall impression 🫢

Top/side down perm plus a natural as-perm

We went with a plain, easy as-perm style. After the cut, she did a down perm not just on the flyaway sides but on the top section too.

The sides were pressed down calmly, and only the sections that needed it on top were naturally tidied, so his head doesn't look big and the overall silhouette is clean. On top of that, a natural perm added just the right amount of volume at the fringe and crown — this part I liked the most about the whole service.

It's not a style where the curl looks strong — it's more like a subtle flow, like his hair just naturally settled this way. If you're near a Daebong-dong hair salon looking for an office worker's men's perm or a natural men's style, I'd recommend trying Director Nayeon's style.

The finished look after blow-dry

After the blow-dry, the top definitely has more volume than before, and the side lines are calmly settled. Most of all, thanks to the curl falling naturally along his face shape, it doesn't look too young or, on the flip side, too old.

Watching my husband's hair these days, I've come to feel that for men's perms, it's more important to bring out volume that suits your face shape and head shape naturally rather than adding a lot of curl! So this 26do Hair Suseong Branch style should suit people who usually want a natural, classy look 👍🏻

Honest review and overall thoughts

If, like my husband, you want to tame flyaway sides but feel nervous about a perm going in too strong, I'd recommend this combination. With cut + top/side down perm + natural perm together, the overall shape holds up without much styling effort — it was Director Nayeon's design that I ended up appreciating more and more as time passed!
