You should get a haircut every 6 weeks. Even if your hair grows slow, you may be suddenly faced with a disaster on your head at an inopportune time if you skip a visit to the barber.

You may know human hair goes through a dormant phase. This happens after a strand of hair falls away from the scalp and before it begins growing again. At any one time, about how much of the hair on the human body is dormant? If you guessed 10 to 20 percent, you're right.

Sorry, boys – it’s a myth that shaving your facial hair will make it grow back thicker. Shaving has no effect, and your beard will grow back the same as it was.

“Ivy League” haircuts are a very clean-cut style. Generally, the hair is cut very short all over, with a little more length left in front that can be parted and combed neatly.

To avoid the “Look who got a haircut” comments we recommend visiting us every three to four weeks. This way, less hair has to be removed so your hair maintains a consistent look.
