Here's a fun little question for today, readers: what beauty schedules do you practice? For example, how often do you get your hair cut? Do you have a schedule for your manicures, blowouts, or even at-home treatments like masks?
For my $.02, I try to recognize these beauty schedules, but I'm not terribly strict about any of it…
- haircuts every 6-8 weeks for my very long, curly hair — when I wore my hair straighter I would schedule the appointments before I left the salon!
- hair masks about once a month in dry, wintry months (with my heated cap if I can swing the time/energy for a 30 minute mask like Olaplex, or at the very least a quick hair treatment from VO5 or Not Your Mother's)
- skin masks like my beloved Drunk Elephant one once a week, ideally at the same time as the hair mask if I can swing it
How about you, ladies? What beauty schedules do you practice? How often do you get your hair cut? Do you have a schedule for your manicures, blowouts, or even at-home treatments like masks?

i am not very grey but the grey i have is right in the front. i schedule before i leave every 4 weeks unless i have something that makes scheduling tough and then i can push to 5. I schedule my hair cut ever other or every third visit depending on length, if i have something going, etc. I only keep my toes done when it’s warm and i tend to just go when they need it and i can get there.
my gray/white hair is all at the front also and I kind of love it, I feel like it’s similar to a stacy london white stripe or whatever
I have a hair appointment once a month, every other month I am getting partial highlights and a cut and in between I am just getting a gloss and blow-dry. Nail appointments every two weeks, manicure every two weeks, pedicure every four weeks. Wax appointment every four to five weeks, whenever I can get it scheduled.
My at home schedule is a lot more fluid because I am so terrible about staying on top of it lol! That said I make sure to fit in hair and skin masks once a week.
Typing it all out makes me realize how much time I am spending at some kind of salon every month! Oh and obviously all of the appointments are dependent upon if I have an event coming up, if that is the case then I am getting all of those things done the week of the event.
Over the years I’ve gone from once every 3 months to every 8 weeks and back again, but the appointment before leaving the salon is something I’ve done religiously for 20+ years. I know exactly how long my hair is going to give me before I’m thinking “I need a haircut” and plan accordingly!
I get a cut every ten weeks, and make a new appointment before I leave. Long fine hair in a blunt cut, so it’s just for maintenance, but my hair is moody so I’m still there for 90 minutes.
I like my level of grey, so no colors or other treatments, but I do weekly hair masks at home.
Haircut every 8-9 weeks (chin length, thick, curly)
Hair mask at home once a week, especially in the winter when I blowdry more
Pedicure every 4-6 weeks
Exfoliate my face at least once a week with a chemical exfoliant
I get my hair cut probably 4-6 times per year and colored probably 3-4 times per year depending on my schedule and upcoming events. I usually do a balayage so it grows out nicely and gives leeway for scheduling.
However, I am strict about nails and lash extensions. I do a dip mani every 3 weeks and pedi once per month. Lash extensions I do every 2 weeks and schedule while at the salon. My lash extensions help me look awake without having to do as much makeup-wise, so I feel like this is 100% worth it. And a regular mani was something I started treating myself to as soon as I started working as a lawyer as a mix of feeling put together and self-care time.
I generally do a face sheet mask once per week, and do under-eye gel patches a few times per week. I try to do these while reading a book or watching a show as a way to wind down post-work on weeknights.
Where do y’all find the time? I have good hair (slight wave to it so easy to wear straight or curly). It’s shoulder length and I get it cut 2x to 3x a year. I usually have them do a deep conditioning mask then as well. I dye it myself at home every four weeks or so. I use heat protection spray religiously, use a leave-in bond builder, and only wash and dry it 3(ish?) times a week or so, which probably helps with it staying healthy (stylists often comment on it being healthy). I use a hair mask every month or two if I’m feeling fancy. I do my own nails. I recently switched from lash extensions to doing it myself and using self-adhesive clusters under the lash for events (lasts 3-4 days but says can go 5), which has saved a lot of time and given my natural lashes a well-deserved break. I think it’s probably healthier for my eyes as well. I get botox every 4 months. I splurge on a lot of my make up, but sometimes that Chanel lipstick for $50 just works a ton better and looks better. I also have been taking biotin supplements.
Haircut every six weeks, schedule before I leave. I have shoulder length hair but it grows like a weed and always needs significant texturing. No color treatments. Wax every four weeks, schedule when I leave. I also used to do massage every four weeks but need to find someone new since we moved.
Nails and skincare/makeup I’m so low-maintenance on that it borders on unkempt, but I just refuse to spend time on what I don’t care about.
