Lunar Haircut Calendar for May 2026
May is all about light, movement, and natural hair beauty. It’s the perfect time for treatments that anticipate the summer season, making color appear as vibrant and multi-dimensional as possible.
May 1st (Full Moon)
Avoid scheduling significant appointments on this day; it’s a time to slow down. Focus on hair-brightening care procedures and gentle styling rather than drastic changes.

May 16th (New Moon)
A day for a fresh start: embrace minimalism in your routine and pay attention to your hair’s condition. On May 16th, opt for a style and wait a couple of days before booking any significant changes – like a trendy coloring or haircut.
