The Mane Event: When Is the Right Time for a Crown & Stache Trim?

At Crown & Stache Barber Company, we understand.  Life gets crazy, and a haircut can be a Herculean task at times.  You're probably asking yourself, "When do I need to come in?  Is my hair too long? Too short? Just right?"  Don't worry, gentlemen, we're going to give you the insider information on the optimal timing of your next appointment and keep you looking dapper.

The Golden Rule: It Depends (But We Can Help!)

The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.  The ideal time between haircuts depends on several factors:

* Your Hairstyle: A shorter, defined cut such as a fade or textured crop will need more frequent touch-ups (every 2-4 weeks) to keep it looking sharp.  More flowing cuts can usually go longer between trims (6-8 weeks, or even more).

* Your Hair Growth:  Everyone grows at a different pace.  Quick growers can have a cut more frequently in a bid to keep their style appearing tidy, while slow growers will be able to wait longer for a haircut.

* Your Personal Preference:  Finally, the ideal time to get in is when you feel your hair needs it.

If you're beginning to feel shaggy or your style is losing its pizzazz, it's time to schedule!

* Special Occasions:

Is there something special on the horizon?

A new cut a few days in advance will have you looking great.

Although each person's needs are different, these are some basic guidelines:

 * Short Styles (Fades, Crops, Textured Cuts):  2-4 weeks.  These styles need to be trimmed on a regular basis so that they continue to look defined and sharp.  Getting regular appointments will keep your fade from growing out and your texture from getting wild.

* Medium Length Styles (Pompadours, Classic Tapers):  4-6 weeks.  These styles give you some more room for error, but regular trims will keep them looking tidy and prevent them from becoming too unwieldy.

* Longer Styles (Flowing Styles, Longer Layers): 6-8+ weeks.

Although longer styles can last a bit longer between cuts, maintenance is still required.

Cutting to shape and trimming split ends will keep your hair healthy and looking its best.

Beyond the Trim: Other Factors to Consider

* Facial Hair:  And don't forget your mustache or beard!  Regular maintenance is the secret to a clean and well-groomed appearance.  We provide beard trims and shaping to keep your facial hair looking its best.

* Product Use: The products you use also play a role in how frequently you require a haircut.

Good products can be utilized to hold your style and keep your hair healthy between trims.

Our barbers would be happy to suggest the products that best complement your hair type and style.
