The method of manufacturing a head slider is capable of improving a floating characteristic and an electromagnetic conversion characteristic of the head slider. The method comprises the steps of: forming terminals on a leading end face of a row bar; forming a resist pattern, which corresponds to a configuration of an air bearing surface section to be formed on a facing surface of the row bar; partially thinning the facing surface of the row bar until reaching a groove surface so as to form the air bearing surface section; forming a base layer of a step section on the groove surface; forming a heater circuit, which is electrically connected to the terminals, on the base layer; and coating the base layer, on which the heater circuit has been formed, with a thermal expansion material layer so as to form the step section.
