How often should you get a haircut?

How often to get a haircut for fades, classic men's cuts, beards, long hair, bobs, colour and kids, from the barbers and hairdressers at Annan in Booval.

By the team at Annan Barber and Hairdresser. Updated October 2026.

Short answer

Skin fades look best with a cut every two to three weeks, classic men's cuts every four to five weeks, short women's styles every four to six weeks, and long hair every eight to twelve weeks. Colour usually needs a refresh every four to ten weeks depending on the technique.

Men's fades and short cuts

Fades lose their sharpness fastest, so every two to three weeks keeps the blend tight. Classic cuts and buzz cuts can usually go four to five weeks.

Beards

A line up every one to two weeks keeps edges crisp. A full trim every three to four weeks keeps shape and length under control.

Short women's styles and bobs

Pixies and bobs rely on their shape, so a cut every four to six weeks keeps them looking intentional.

Medium and long hair

Every eight to twelve weeks is enough for most people growing their hair. Regular trims remove split ends before they travel up the hair.

Colour

Root refreshes usually fall every four to six weeks, foils every six to ten weeks, and balayage every three to four months.

Kids

Most kids need a cut every four to eight weeks, and a fresh cut before school photos and the new term is always popular.
