Recommended dates for haircuts, image makeovers, and salon visits
Many women consult a lunar haircutting calendar before booking an appointment with their favorite stylist. Beauty Zone salon experts have exclusively compiled a lunar calendar for August 2026 for ELLE.UA – all so you can grow healthy hair to your desired length.
Lunar Haircut Calendar for August 2026
August is the time to restore your hair after summer. This is a period when hair particularly needs professional care after exposure to sun, sea water, swimming pools, and heat. If you like to plan your hair care according to the Moon phases, use this calendar as inspiration for your salon visit.
From August 1st to 11th (Waning Moon)
A time for intensive restoration. Now is the moment to opt for professional SPA treatments, deep moisturizing and nourishing procedures, hair reconstruction, or trimming split ends. This is also a good period to refresh your haircut if you wish to maintain its shape for longer.
August 12th (New Moon)
The New Moon is a day for delicate hair care. Instead of drastic changes, dedicate time to scalp cleansing, relaxing massages, and light care treatments that will help prepare your hair for the next stage of care.
From August 13th to 27th (Waxing Moon)
A period of renewal and change. This is when many plan a new look: a new haircut, coloring, toning, lightening, or color stretching. Don’t forget to complement any procedure with professional post-color care – this will help maintain color richness, shine, and hair softness.
August 28th (Full Moon)
Time to enjoy the results. Hair after professional care looks maximally shiny, smooth, and well-groomed. This is a wonderful day for a festive hairstyle or a special event, but it’s better to plan major changes for another period.
From August 29th to 31st (Waning Moon)
At the end of the month, it’s worth returning to restorative treatments. After the summer season, hair particularly gratefully responds to intensive hydration, nourishment, and salon rituals that will help welcome autumn with strong, elastic, and healthy strands.
If you want to refresh your hair color during this period, you can do it at home using the Clean Beauty Treatment toning mask.
