How often should a client typically receive a trim?

Receiving a trim every 6 to 8 weeks is widely considered the standard recommendation for maintaining healthy hair. This frequency helps in managing split ends and keeping the hair looking fresh and styled. Regular trims can prevent damage from splitting further up the hair shaft and help maintain the desired shape and length of a haircut, especially for styles that require precision or layering.

This timeframe allows for the natural growth of hair while still providing enough intervention to promote optimal hair health. While some clients may need to trim more frequently based on their hair type or styling preferences, every 6 to 8 weeks is a general guideline that works well for most people.

Other options suggest either trimming too often or too infrequently, which may not serve the best interests of hair health. Trimming every 2 to 4 weeks would generally result in minimal growth and styling frustrations, while waiting 3 months or more could lead to more significant problems like split ends and unmanageable hair.
