About this service
What senior haircut includes at our Cookeville salons
Senior haircuts are discounted cuts for guests typically 65 and older, available at most walk-in chain salons. The service is the same as a standard haircut — wash, cut, finish — at a lower price point ($16-$22 vs $22-$28 for adult cuts). Many seniors prefer classic, easy-to-maintain styles that need minimal at-home effort: shorter pixies, wedge cuts, classic men's cuts. Some salons offer a senior-haircut-plus-shampoo package at a slightly higher tier ($20-$27) which includes a relaxing shampoo bowl experience that many seniors enjoy as part of the visit.
A senior haircut takes 25-40 minutes. The stylist starts with consultation about preferred length and style — many seniors return regularly to the same salon and have an established cut history. After a quick shampoo (or dry cut, depending on preference), the cut is sectioned and worked through. Stylists typically take a slower pace with senior guests, including more frequent length checks. The service finishes with a blow dry and quick styling.

Before your appointment
- Mid-morning weekday appointments tend to be the calmest (and the easiest parking)
- Bring photos if changing the style — verbal descriptions are easy to miscommunicate
- Mention any scalp sensitivity or tender spots to your stylist before the cut
After your service
- Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for older hair texture
- Avoid hot water — lukewarm preserves hair texture better
- Hat-protect in cold or sunny weather to slow color and texture changes
