Q: How often should I be getting my hair cut?
A: “It is recommended to get your haircut every 6-8 weeks. This helps prevent unnecessary breakage and split ends. If you keep proper maintenance, then there is less of a percentage to have to do a major makeover or overhaul to keep your style and/or hair healthy.” — Michael Dueñas, Celebrity Hairstylist and CEO of Hair Room Service, an in-room salon appointment service that delivers top celebrity stylists and services to your door.
