How Often Should You Get a Haircut? A Guide from Your Overland Park Stylists

There’s no single answer to “how often should I get a haircut?” It depends on your hair length, your style and whether you’re growing it out. Here’s the simple guide our stylists share with clients.

Hair type or goalHow often
Short cuts, pixies and men’s cutsEvery 3–5 weeks
Bobs and lobsEvery 5–7 weeks
Medium to long hairEvery 8–12 weeks
Growing your hair outEvery 10–12 weeks (a light “dusting”)
Color-treated or damaged hairEvery 6–8 weeks
Kids’ cutsEvery 6–8 weeks

Signs you’re overdue

  • Your ends look thin, frayed or split.
  • Your hair tangles more easily than usual.
  • Your style won’t hold its shape.
  • Your bangs are in your eyes.

“But I’m growing it out!”

Skipping trims doesn’t make hair grow faster. Split ends travel up the strand, and you end up cutting off more later. Small, regular trims protect your length.

Make it easy: pre-book

Most of our regular clients book their next visit before they leave. It’s the easiest way to get the time you want, especially on evenings and Saturdays.
