Do you prebook your hair appointments, or schedule your next service or two in advance? While waiting until you feel like your hair “needs it” to schedule a visit to the hair salon can be tempting, our stylists are breaking down why they recommend scheduling in advance for their clients.


Maintaining hair health
Prebooking appointments is one of the best things you can do for your hair health! Aside from the fact that it helps to maintain your haircut or color, it also allows you and your stylist to work on treating or trimming any damage that might have occurred between appointments due to heat-styling, environmental factors, or anything else that could compromise your hair. Keeping on top of this means things like split ends or breakage won't "travel" up your hair, so to speak, allowing your healthy hair to stay healthy. –Abbi

Getting the appointment times and stylist you want
If you love your stylist, you should absolutely be prebooking! It guarantees an appointment with them, and not to mention, if you have specific schedule restrictions or want a weekend day, those can make appointments trickier to book because weekends and evenings tend to fill up quicker. Book in advance to make sure you get what you want! –Abbi

Easier budgeting
I find prebooking my clients helps open up transparency about budget expectations. If we see each other four times a year, you will know what your yearly budget for hair services will be. Knowing how much my maintenance will be alleviates my own personal stresses with budget. –Jacob

Built-in me-time
I like to think of our appointments as a chill hangout session. Getting an appointment on the book before you leave helps schedule that “me-time” we all desperately need these days. It's always nice to have something to look forward to especially as we enter the winter time. –Jacob

One less thing to think about
Ever feel like you have a zillion things on your mind (and to-do list) all at once? When you schedule your appointments in advance, it becomes one less thing you have to think about. By the time you’re ready to get your hair done, you already have an appointment and won't have to wait to get in or worry about finding time to schedule. –Syd

Alleviating stress
Getting your hair done is (and should be) fun. Being on a consistent schedule takes the pressure off of planning, creating a much more stress-free experience. –Syd

Always looking fabulous
Booking in advance helps because it makes sure that you aren’t going too long between hair services, which can change the look of your cut or result in faded and/or grown-out color. Coming in regularly means we’re able to keep your hair looking the way you love. –DeDe

Something to look forward to
Prebooking your services gives you something to look forward to; no matter what you have a time carved out for yourself to feel good. –DeDe
