FAQ
How accurate is this timing recommendation?
This calculator gives a solid baseline, but your timing may vary by a week depending on seasonal growth changes and product use. Use it as a starting point and adjust after two or three cycles. For fade-specific timing, our Fade & Taper Maintenance Planner offers more precision.
What are the signs I need a haircut?
Key signs include: hair no longer holding its shape by midday, sides covering your ears, a fade losing its gradient, needing more product than usual, and a fuzzy neckline. If you notice two or more, book an appointment. Our Barber Instruction Generator helps you communicate exactly what you want when you go.
How can I save money on haircuts without looking worse?
Three strategies work well. First, learn basic neckline cleanup at home to extend each cut by a week. Second, find a barber school near you for discounted cuts. Third, pick a style with a longer grow-out window. Our Hair Clipper Guard Converter helps you understand guard sizes if you trim at home.
