💇♀️ Hair Services: How Often Should You Get a Haircut or Color?
At Escape on Third, our stylists specialize in everything from low-maintenance balayage to precision haircuts and bold hair color. Here’s how to keep your look fresh:
✂️ Haircut Schedule
Short hairstyles (pixies, bobs, fades): Every 4–6 weeks to maintain the shape
Medium to long haircuts or trims: Every 8–12 weeks to avoid split ends and maintain healthy layers
🎨 Hair Color Maintenance
Root touch-ups/Grey coverage: Every 4–6 weeks
Highlights or balayage: Every 8–12 weeks, depending on your desired look—stretch it longer for that “lived-in” color
Vivid or fashion shades: Every 3–5 weeks to keep the color vibrant and fresh
💡 Pro Tip: North Dakota winters can be harsh on your hair. Book a deep conditioning treatment with your color service to maintain moisture and shine.

Gel manicures: Every 2 weeks to keep your nails flawless
Classic polish manicures: Weekly or bi-weekly, depending on lifestyle and wear
Pedicures: Every 4–6 weeks, especially during warmer months when sandals come out in Bismarck!
💆♀️ Skincare & Facials: How Often Should You Book a Facial?
With North Dakota’s seasonal extremes, maintaining a consistent facial schedule can help your skin stay healthy and glowing all year long.
Custom facials: Every 4–6 weeks for optimal skin maintenance
Seasonal facials: Book one at the start of each season to reset and rebalance your skin
Advanced skincare treatments (peels, microdermabrasion, etc.): Typically monthly or quarterly, depending on your esthetician’s recommendations
