The Modern Man's Grooming Calendar
What to book, and how often, to look consistently well-kept without living in the chair.
June 16, 2026 · 5 min read
Most men either overcorrect — cutting every ten days out of anxiety — or wait until the haircut has visibly failed. Neither produces the look they want.
A grooming calendar solves it. Set the cadence once, book it standing, and stop thinking about it.
Consistency, not frequency, is what reads as well-groomed.
The cadence
Tapered and short styles hold roughly two to three weeks; mid-length styles hold four to six. A neck and edge clean-up between cuts extends either by a full week.
Beards want a shape every three to four weeks, regardless of length. A hot-towel straight-razor shave is worth booking monthly whether or not you need it — for the skin, and for the hour.
Before the occasions
Book significant events — weddings, portraits, presentations — three to four days out, never the same day. Hair needs a moment to settle into itself.
For groomsmen and milestone parties, we build the entire schedule for you as part of the private events program.
