There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost you get from a fresh cut. The sharp lines. The clean neckline. The effortless style. But let’s be real, after a couple of weeks, that polished look can start to fade. The good news? With the right care, you can keep your hair looking fresh and healthy between visits.
Here’s how to extend that just-out-of-the-chair feeling:
Stick to the Sweet Spot: 4-6 Weeks
Every head of hair is different, but as a rule of thumb, the ideal time for a haircut is every 4–6 weeks. Short styles often need more frequent touch-ups, while longer cuts can stretch closer to the six-week mark. Waiting too long not only makes your style harder to maintain but can also cause your hair to look uneven or unruly.
Keep the Neckline in Check
Do you know one of the first giveaways that your cut is growing out? It's the neckline. At Tommy Gun’s, we offer back-of-neck shaves to keep things sharp between full appointments. A quick clean-up keeps your cut looking intentional, not overgrown.
Refresh Your Scalp with a Detox
Healthy hair starts at the root. That’s why we now offer the Paul Mitchell Scalp Detox & Massage Service - a refreshing treatment that clears away buildup, stimulates circulation, and leaves your scalp feeling clean and revitalized. Not only does it promote healthier hair growth, but it also adds a relaxing boost to your grooming routine. Perfect for in between cuts when your scalp could use a reset.
Invest in Quality Haircare Products
Healthy hair starts with the right routine. Using barbershop-quality shampoos, conditioners, and styling products not only makes your hair look better day-to-day but also helps your cut last longer. Some essentials:
- Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner – Keeps hair healthy, soft, and manageable.
- Styling Creams, Pomades, or Clays – The right product keeps your look in place without weighing it down.
- Scalp Care Products – A healthy scalp means healthier hair growth.
Pro tip: Ask your Tommy Gun’s Barber what products work best for your hair type. They know what will give you that at-home barbershop finish.
Don't Skip the Styling
Even the sharpest haircut can fall flat without a little styling effort. Spend an extra minute in the morning using a blow dryer, styling product, or brush to train your hair. You’ll be surprised at how much longer your cut looks fresh with a little daily attention.
Protect Your Hair From Damage
Sun, sweat, and harsh weather can all take a toll on your hair. Washing with the right shampoo, avoiding too-hot showers, and even using a heat protectant if you blow-dry can all make a huge difference in how your hair looks and feels.
Keep It Fresh with Online Check-In or Walk-In Anytime
With the right products and a little care, you can stretch that fresh cut feeling much longer. But don’t forget: the real secret to great hair is consistency. Plan to visit Tommy Gun’s every 4–6 weeks, and swing by for a quick back-of-neck shave, Paul Mitchell scalp detox & massage, or product top-up in between.
