I am really considering getting a perm but am scared because of being a guy. What If I don`t like it? Should I do it? Where should I go or should I let someone do it at home?

I know how you feel Scott. I used to feel that way. I have had numerous perms, some I liked, some not. I say go for it! But have it done professionally. Don`t overeact right away and get it cut. It will take some time to get used to. wear a hat until you get used to it. I have also found the longer the better.
Good Luck!
Sara

I`d warn against it. Male perms were last seen in the 70s, and there was a reason for it. Male hair had been long for many years and guys were searching around for something different without cutting it and someone must have said: "Hey, how about a perm?" So you ended up with Hall and Oates, Peter Frampton, Carrie`s boyfriend in the film "Carrie" and numerous Grade D popstars where I am in the UK. At least 70s guys had an excuse. I cannot personally see such a reason in the 21st Century. Unless, of course, you really want one.
