A simple guide to keeping your curls, color, and haircut looking their best between appointments.
We get it. Life gets busy, and before you know it, it's been months since your last salon appointment.
But here's something we always remind our clients at Salon Lola: maintaining healthy hair doesn't mean you need a major transformation every time you come in.
Sometimes, it's the smaller, consistent appointments that make the biggest difference.
So, when should you book your next appointment?
The answer depends on your hair, your goals, and the services you receive. Here's a general guide.
Curly haircuts: Every 3–5 months for layered cuts, depending on your shape, length, and how your curls are behaving.
Haircuts and trims: Around every 4–6 months for many maintenance clients, although shorter styles and specific hair goals may require more frequent visits.
Root color and gray coverage: Typically every 4–6 weeks to keep your color looking consistent.
Highlights and dimensional color: Often every 8–12 weeks, depending on your desired look and how softly your color grows out.
Glosses and toning: A great way to refresh your color between larger appointments, especially if you're not ready for another full highlight service.
K-tip extensions: Plan for removal and a fresh installation around 12 weeks, based on your personalized maintenance plan.

These are starting points, not rules. Your stylist can recommend a schedule that works for your hair and lifestyle.
You don't need a big appointment every time.
One of the biggest misconceptions about salon maintenance is that every visit needs to be a full service.
Sometimes you just need a trim to refresh your shape, a gloss to bring your color back to life, or a treatment and style to get your hair feeling good again.
We love helping our clients create realistic maintenance routines that keep their hair healthy without unnecessary appointments.
Your next appointment is part of your hair plan.
At Salon Lola, we're big on consultations and education because we want you to understand your hair, not just love it when you leave our chairs.
Before your appointment ends, talk with your stylist about what your hair needs next and when you should come back.
And if it's been a while since we've seen you? We'd love to have you back.
