For most hair types, every 6–12 weeks keeps ends healthy and prevents split-end progression. Fine or heat-damaged hair benefits from trims closer to six weeks, while strong, unprocessed hair can often wait up to three months.

Trims don’t speed follicle-driven growth, but removing split ends prevents breakage so hair retains length. Regular trims create a healthier environment for growth, so over time you’ll see longer hair compared with hair that splits and breaks off.

Yes. Our stylists use careful techniques to trim treated hair, protecting color and bond integrity. We recommend trims and bond-repair treatments together for best results to maintain health and vibrancy while preventing further chemical-related breakage.

Most trims take 15–30 minutes depending on length, thickness, and whether we include styling or a wet cut. New clients may take a few minutes longer for consultation to assess hair health and desired maintenance plan.

A trim is focused on removing split ends and refining shape, not a restyle. We maintain your current layers and length unless you request more dramatic changes. Communicate your goals and the stylist will trim conservatively to preserve your look.

You don’t have to wash beforehand; our stylists can trim hair clean or unwashed. Washed hair can help reveal natural texture, but styling products may be beneficial to remove. Follow any prep instructions we provide when booking for best results.
