Introduction
Ever wonder how long you should wait between haircuts? Whether you're rocking a clean fade or long layers, the right maintenance schedule can be the difference between looking polished and looking… well, not so fresh. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we help our clients keep their style on point all year round.
General Rule of Thumb
Hair grows at an average rate of half an inch per month. But how soon you need a haircut depends on:
-
Your hairstyle
-
Your hair type
-
Your personal preference
-
Your grooming goals
Let’s break it down with some expert insight from the barbers at Allan’s.
Short Styles: Every 2–3 Weeks
If you wear a buzz cut, fade, or any style with super short sides, you'll want to get a cut every 2–3 weeks. These styles lose their shape quickly as the hair grows out.
At Allan’s, we recommend setting a recurring appointment to keep that razor-sharp finish fresh and photo-ready.
Medium-Length Cuts: Every 4–5 Weeks
These include pompadours, comb-overs, and textured layers. A cut every 4–5 weeks will help maintain structure while giving your hair time to breathe.
If you want to keep the top longer but the sides neat, consider a quick taper or fade touch-up at Allan’s between full cuts.
Long Hair: Every 6–8 Weeks
Longer styles need less frequent cutting, but don’t skip the salon! Hair that goes too long without trimming can develop split ends and look untidy. Even a half-inch trim can make a big difference in how your hair behaves.
Beard & Neckline Trims: Weekly or Biweekly
Grooming doesn’t stop at the top. For those with facial hair, Allan’s offers beard trims, clean-ups, and neckline fades to keep your look sharp and symmetrical.
Pro Tip: Ask your barber to align your beard with your haircut style for a more cohesive look.
