It can be difficult to know exactly how often you should visit the salon. Keeping track of all your beauty treatments can cause stress instead of relaxation.
Itβs not until you notice your brows or lash extensions gone awry, or split ends start to appear before you remember your last haircut was due weeks ago. Busy schedules, family obligations, and worries about expenses are common reasons for ignoring our beauty needs.
However, neglecting self-care can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Taking time for yourself is crucial to rejuvenating your body and mind.
So, how often you should go to the salon depends on the services you are getting and how you treat your hair, nails, and skin. Here are some general guidelines to help you find your Sweet Spot:
Haircuts
For most people, haircuts are needed every four to six weeks. However, if you are growing out your hair or have less time for salon visits, stretching for eight to 10 weeks may work for you. On the other hand, if you like a shorter cut or a specific style needs frequent attention to maintain the shape, you may need to go every three weeks.
Colour
If you consistently colour your hair, you should visit the salon every four to six weeks to retouch your roots. The frequency of visits will also depend on the desired result, the colour contrast, and the type of colour used. Highlights or lowlights may need less frequent visits as they grow out more naturally.
Chemical Treatments
If you use chemical treatments like perms or relaxers, you may only need to visit the salon about every three to six months. However, it is crucial that you wait for your hair to recover from the previous treatment before starting again.
Nails
Most people require nail appointments every three to four weeks for a proper fill-in or new french tip overlay. But again, it comes down to the individualβs preferences and habits. If you are not hard on your nails, you can stretch appointments to four to six weeks.
Waxing
The frequency of hair removal treatment depends on how fast your hair grows. Generally, you can go every month. But the beauticians suggest that the ideal time to do hair waxing or laser hair removal is once every six weeks as is determined by hair growth cycle. Also, there are other factors that determine the frequency of body hair removal. That is, how much your hair bothers you. If you feel it not an issue, just let it be. However, if you really care about your thick hair, remove the visible hair when you cannot bear it.
Facials/Massages
When it comes to facials, it is best to get them every four to six weeks, and every two to three weeks for massages β both depends on the individualβs needs and stress levels.
Visiting the salon depends on your hair and skin goals and habits. While regular appointments can work for some people, others can extend the duration between appointments while taking good care of their hair, skin, and nails at home. Ultimately it is up to you to determine what works best for your beauty and needs. Work with your stylist/therapist to determine if you will need to visit more frequently, or if you have the liberty of going longer between visits.
