How Often Should You Really Be Coming to the Salon?

One of the most common questions I get is, “How often should I be coming in?”

The honest answer? It depends—but probably less often than you think.

The old salon mindset

For years, clients were taught that more appointments meant better hair. In reality, frequent visits often meant:

  • Over-processing

  • Rushed appointments

  • Hair that looked good briefly, then fell flat

That model doesn’t align with how I work—or how my clients live.

The Vibed Stylist approach

I design hair with longevity in mind. That means thoughtful placement, intentional color choices, and plans that extend beyond your next visit.

Most of my clients come in every 4–6 weeks, not because they have to—but because it maintains balance, health, and consistency.

What actually determines your appointment frequency

Your ideal schedule depends on:

  • Your color goals

  • Natural hair growth

  • Home care routine

  • Lifestyle and stress levels

  • Hormonal changes

A lived-in blonde and a full gray-coverage client have very different needs—and neither is “right” or “wrong.”

Why pre-booking matters

Pre-booking isn’t about pressure. It’s about:

  • Protecting your time

  • Ensuring consistency

  • Avoiding last-minute stress

When we plan ahead, your hair stays aligned with your life, not scrambling to catch up.

Quality over frequency

Luxury hair isn’t about how often you sit in the chair. It’s about intention, education, and trusting the process.

When your hair is designed correctly, it supports you quietly—without demanding constant attention.
