A method for manufacturing a magnetic head which includes a lower write pole having a projection, an upper write pole having a projection opposed to the projection of the lower write pole, and a magnetic gap interposed between the projection of the upper write pole and the projection of the upper write pole, comprising: a first step of making the magnetic gap on the projection of the lower write pole; a second step of making a non-magnetic material layer on the lower write pole, the non-magnetic material layer having a projection on its top surface in positional alignment with the projection of the lower write pole; a third step of making a mask layer on the non-magnetic material layer, the mask layer having an opening in which the top surface of the projection of the non-magnetic material layer is exposed; a fourth step of making a curved recess in the non-magnetic material layer by isotropically etching the non-magnetic material layer through the opening of the mask layer; a fifth step of making an approximately tapered recess down from the bottom of the curved recess by anisotropically etching the non-magnetic material layer through the opening of the mask layer; and a sixth step of making the upper write pole by burying a magnetic material in the tapered recess and the curved recess is provided.
