How often should you get a haircut and a beard trim?

12 November 2026 · by Alejandro Castro

How often should you get a haircut and a beard trim?

It's one of the questions we hear most. The answer depends on the cut: the shorter and sharper it is, the sooner the regrowth shows.

Fades and short cuts: every 2–3 weeks

In a fade the sides are very short, so just a few millimetres of growth are enough to lose the blend. To keep it clean, come back every two to three weeks.

Medium and longer cuts: every 4–6 weeks

Crops, mullets and cuts with more length on top last longer. Every four to six weeks is enough to restore the shape and tidy up the neck and sideburns.

Beard: a trim every 1–2 weeks

Beards grow fast and the outline is the first thing people notice. A trim every one or two weeks keeps the cheek and neck lines sharp. In between, a little beard oil keeps it soft.

A practical tip

Book your next appointment while you're still in the salon or with BarberApp: that way you never end up with an "expired" cut right when you need it.
