How far in advance do you need to book a haircut?

Salon with 5 members of staff. Admittedly, I dont think they are all full time. I just want a trim with any of them and can go at pretty much any time.

They have nothing until October! Im a regular (but dont go every 6 weeks) and always tip generously. They're just a normal hairdressers so I dont understand a 6 weeks wait.

I need it doing before then so now I need to find a new HD. Fun.

I've just looked. At my normal salon, there are 2 appointments on Tuesday, then availability every day from then onwards.
I'd have to wait til next week, as that's when there are evening appointments available.
And I didn't look further than next weekend - when the only girl with availability is one I wouldn't use again - needed asking 4 times to cut more hair off, and then she tried to tell me my hair was straight. It might not have corkscrew curls, but it is a million miles off being straight.

That's probably people that are consistent booking appointments not for the odd cut.

And each salon will be different

Ive booked somewhere else for 2 weeks time.

They are further away but reviews are good.

Interestingly they do a subscription where you pay £100/£150 (depending on staff seniority) a month and can get one service a week. My hair is too short to make use of that but it seems like a good offer, particularly if you colour your hair.

£100-150 a month 😮😮
I dont think I spend £150 a year

The last time I got a cut and colour it cost me £170! That was for a basic colour. She apparently put some lighter bits around my face but it all looked the same colour to me. I just use a box dye now.

I moved to new area almost 2y ago and tried to get my DD’s hair cut. Hairdressers in my new area said it’s 3 weeks wait (for a young teen ends trim!). We went back to our old hairdresser. Funnily enough, that new hairdresser has shut the shop now- wonder why?

? They go go back to school in September so parents are more free then
