At Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop, one of the questions we hear most often is: “How often should I be getting my haircut?” The truth is, it depends. Your age, hairstyle, and even your lifestyle all play a role in how quickly you’ll need to freshen up your look.
Here’s a breakdown by service and age group so you can plan your next visit:
Adults (16–64 years old)
Most adults should aim for a haircut every 3–6 weeks, depending on the style you wear.
- Short styles and fades? Closer to 3–4 weeks to keep edges sharp.
- Medium-to-long styles? 5–6 weeks can work, but regular trims keep things healthy and stylish.
💈 Pro tip: Add a back-of-neck shave to your haircut to prolong that fresh cut feeling.
Youth (12–15 years old)
Teenagers are all about style and individuality, and hair grows fast at this age. Every 3–5 weeks keeps things on point.
- Fades and trendy cuts? More frequent visits.
- Longer, laid-back styles? Every 5 weeks is usually enough.
💈 Our barbers specialize in youth cuts, so teens leave looking sharp and feeling confident.
Kids (0–11 years old)
For kids, haircuts are about more than style; they’re about comfort (and sometimes patience in the chair). Every 6–7 weeks is usually perfect, though it depends on how quickly their hair grows.
💈 Our barbers know how to make kids feel at ease, turning haircut time into a fun experience.
Seniors (65+ years old)
Many seniors prefer a more classic look, which often means regular upkeep. Every 4–6 weeks helps maintain a neat, polished style.
💈 Our senior services are designed for comfort and care, so you can relax while we take care of the details.
Buzz Cuts
Buzz cuts are sharp, simple, and timeless, but they grow out quickly. To keep that clean, even look, plan to stop in every 2–3 weeks.
💈 The good news? Buzz cuts are quick, easy, and one of the fastest services we offer.
