Must-have low-maintenance hairstyles for lazy guys:

Men's hairstyle recommendation 1: Natural 6/4 part

This Korean-inspired style gives off a fresh, effortless vibe after perming, making you look naturally energized. It’s especially flattering for those with longer face shapes, as the 6/4 part helps balance facial proportions. To make this style easy to maintain, Chris emphasizes that the curls should be kept subtle—not too tight. The key is using a soft curve to support volume at the roots, allowing the style to look great with just a simple blow-dry.

Chris explains that this client had fine, flat hair, didn’t want overly curly results, and had a longer face shape. The client also wanted a Korean-inspired look. “So I chose to create natural curves to support volume, combined with a flat perm at the roots to achieve the style he envisioned,” Chris says.

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 2: Wool Curls + Leslie Curls
Wool curls feature a natural, messy wave pattern, while Leslie curls are more defined and structured. Combining these two contrasting styles creates a look that’s perfect for those who don’t want something too polished, but still want a touch of relaxed, effortless charm.

This client had coarse, thick hair with a slight natural wave. Since the natural curls weren’t too intense, Chris decided to keep the root volume as is and only enhanced the curls at the ends to complete the look. Chris adds an important note: “If the natural curls are too strong, you must straighten the roots with a rebonding treatment before perming. Otherwise, once the hair grows out, it’ll become very difficult to manage.”

Hairstyles for guys who don’t like perms:

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 1: Youthful Long Layered Fringe
This slightly longer, softly parted fringe creates a stylish, relaxed vibe while also giving a more youthful appearance. It's especially suitable for those with larger head shapes or natural waves. For clients with natural curls, there's no need to perm—just a well-executed cut will do. Simply blow-drying the hair downward is enough to bring out a smooth, natural curve.

This client had naturally curly hair and was concerned about a large head shape and overly voluminous hair. Chris used a flat perm technique to reduce excess volume and visually slim the head shape. He then adjusted the hair structure through precise cutting, allowing the client to rely on his natural curls to create texture—without the need for additional perming.

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 2: Chinese-Inspired Short Layered Fringe
This shorter version of the textured fringe follows a Chinese-style aesthetic. Compared to the longer, more youthful variation, this cut focuses on clean lines and a neat, refreshed look.

This client had extremely intense natural curls and struggled with frizzy, unmanageable “wire-like” hair every morning. To address this, Chris first performed a rebonding treatment to smooth out the natural curl, making the hair easier to manage. He then used a flat perm technique to create a well-shaped silhouette, finishing with a slightly shorter textured fringe to enhance the clean, fresh look.

Hairstyles for guys who are into fashion:

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 1: Versatile Tiger Cut
The tiger cut has become one of the most popular choices for bold, fashion-forward men this year. With shaved sides, sharp layering, and natural volume on top, it’s perfect for those seeking a trendy and refined look.

This client had coarse, thick hair and was mainly concerned about his head appearing too large. He wanted a more refined overall look with a clean, short style. To address this, Chris applied a flat perm across the entire head to reduce bulk and volume. He also performed flow correction on the bangs to tame the naturally stiff, forward-facing hair, creating a more polished and manageable fringe.

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 2: Spiral Root Volume Short Style
If you’re looking for a hairstyle with lively, flipped-up ends and you’re comfortable using styling products like wax or mousse, this look is a perfect match for you.

This client wanted a hairstyle with some curl, but nothing too tight—just a soft, flipped-out effect at the ends. To achieve this, Chris created higher layers on the surface and focused the curl pattern at the roots. The root volume provided the support needed to lift and flip the ends outward, perfectly bringing the client’s vision to life.

Men’s hairstyle recommendation 3: Messy Mixed Curls
This messy, wool curl-inspired style with flipped-out ends gives off a laid-back, effortless vibe—but don't be fooled, it requires some effort to maintain. To style it properly, mousse should be used to shape the flipped ends, and blow-drying with a diffuser is key. This helps lock in the texture and prevents the hair from becoming overly messy the next morning.

This client had extremely coarse, stiff, and very straight hair, making it difficult to achieve the desired look of irregular curls, flips, and messy texture. To overcome this, Chris applied a pre-treatment with an extra round of solution to break down the hair’s structure before setting the rods. This additional step was necessary to ensure the final curls would hold the desired shape and texture.

Recommended men’s hairstylist in Taichung: Chris

Chris, who has been in the hair industry for about ten years, has cared deeply about “looking good” ever since junior high school. Reflecting on those early days, he says, “When I was a kid, I used to see hairstylists always looking sharp and confident every day—that sense of pride really inspired me. That’s what made me choose to study hairdressing.”

For Chris, making people “look good” isn’t just about himself—he’s truly passionate about helping others look and feel their best. He recalls one particularly memorable experience: “A male client came to me after visiting several salons, still unhappy with his look—and so was his wife. When he sat in my chair, he simply said, ‘Do whatever you want.’ After designing a style for him, not only was he satisfied, but even his wife said he looked great—and she wanted to come in too!” Chris laughs as he adds, “I might’ve just saved a marriage from falling apart.”
