Welcome to the first entry in our Hair Care Mastery series, where we explore the key aspects of maintaining your hair. One of the first questions you might have after your appointment is, “when should I come back?”. The answer often depends on the length of your hair style and the type of coloring service used. This blog lets you know exactly how long you should wait between salon visits!
How often should I visit the salon?
Adjust your hair maintenance schedule to fit your personal style, hair length, and hair type for optimal health and appearance! Depending on Style and Service, the range is as soon as every six weeks, to every five months. Find your own schedule based on desired length and coloring below!
Timeline by Hair Length:
(All cuts by stylist Katlyn Moret)
Short Length: Every 6-8 Weeks. Regular trims prevent split ends and maintain the shape of short hairstyles, ensuring your look remains fresh and stylish.
Medium Length: 3-4 Months. This timeline helps manage hair shape and volume, keeping medium-length hair looking healthy and vibrant.
Long Hair: Every 4-5 months. Longer intervals suit long hair to maintain ends health and natural hair growth while reducing damage.
Timeline by Hair Coloring Service:
(All colors by stylist Kayla Everman)
Gray/Root Coverage: Every 4-6 weeks. Frequent touch-ups prevent gray roots from contrasting sharply with dyed hair, maintaining a seamless color look.
Toner Refresh: Every 6-8 weeks. Regular toner applications maintain hair color vibrancy and tone, preventing brassiness or color fading.
Highlight to root: Every 8-10 weeks. This schedule keeps highlights looking natural and well-maintained, blending new growth seamlessly with colored hair.
Lived-in highlight: Every 3-4 months. Longer intervals between appointments embrace the natural hair growth, creating a subtle and low-maintenance style.
