How Often Should You Get a Haircut?
It depends on the cut. Shorter styles show growth faster, so the closer the cut, the sooner you need to come back.
By style
- Skin fades: every 2 to 3 weeks
- Tapers: every 3 to 4 weeks
- Classic scissor cuts: every 4 to 6 weeks
- Longer hair: every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the ends and shape clean
- Beards: reset the shape with every haircut, and touch up the neckline at home in between
Signs it’s time
- The blend on your fade looks like a line instead of a gradient
- Hair is curling over your ears or collar
- Your hairline line-up has gone soft
- Your hair won’t sit the way it did the week you got it cut
Make it easy
Book your next appointment before you leave the chair. You’ll get the time you want and never end up two weeks overdue.
