Sometimes you need a haircut today — not next week. Whether a last-minute event came up, your schedule finally opened, or you just decided it's time, same-day hair appointments are more available than most people assume. The key is knowing which services tend to have openings and how to ask.

Which Services Are Easiest to Book Same-Day?
Not every service requires the same amount of chair time. Shorter services are easier to fit into the schedule on short notice because they require fewer back-to-back hours.
Typically Available Same-Day
- Men's cuts — Most men's cuts take under an hour, making them one of the easiest services to book on short notice.
- Women's cuts — A cut without color is a shorter appointment and often has same-day availability.
- Style outs — A wash, scalp massage, and blowout is a focused service that fits into tighter schedule gaps.
- Waxing — Eyebrow and lip waxing appointments are quick and can frequently be added to open slots.
Sometimes Available Same-Day
- Tint retouches — Root touch-ups are shorter than a full color service and can sometimes be squeezed in, especially on weekdays.
- Toner refreshes — If you're between highlight appointments and your tone has shifted, a standalone toner is a relatively quick visit.
- Deep conditioning treatments — These are often added on to another service, but can be booked as a standalone when time allows.
Usually Requires Advance Booking
- Balayage and full highlight services — These run 2 to 3 hours or more and require consecutive blocks of time that are hard to open up same-day.
- Keratin treatments — These are longer appointments that need dedicated scheduling.
- Color corrections — Complex color work requires a consultation before the appointment itself. This isn't something to rush.
- Extensions — Extensions require a free consultation first, so same-day isn't an option for new extension clients.
How to Get a Same-Day Appointment
Call Instead of Booking Online
Online booking shows pre-set availability windows. But if you call directly, the front desk can often see gaps in the schedule that aren't reflected online — a cancellation that just came in, a stylist who finished early, or a block that was held for a consultation that didn't get booked.

Be Flexible on Timing
If you can come in during off-peak hours — mid-morning on a weekday or early afternoon — your chances of getting in same-day go up significantly. Evenings and Saturdays fill first.
Be Open About What You Need
Let the front desk know exactly what you're looking for. If your first-choice service isn't available, they may be able to suggest an alternative that addresses the same goal. For example, if a full highlight isn't available but you really just want to freshen up your tone, a toner appointment might be all you need.
What to Know Before a Same-Day Appointment
Come With Clean, Product-Free Hair (for Color Services)
If there's any chance your same-day appointment involves color, arrive with hair that's free of heavy styling products, dry shampoo buildup, or oils. This gives your stylist the best starting point and avoids delays.
Have a Reference Photo Ready
Even for a quick cut, a photo saves time. It helps your stylist understand your goal immediately — and makes the most of the shorter consultation window that comes with a same-day booking.
Know Your Budget
Review our services page before you come in so you have a sense of pricing. Every appointment at Burman & Co includes a consultation where your stylist will confirm what's involved and what it costs before starting any work.
Why Same-Day Availability Varies
Salon schedules depend on the mix of short and long appointments booked that day. A Tuesday with three balayage clients back-to-back will have fewer gaps than a Wednesday with mostly cuts and retouches. Cancellations and reschedules also create openings that weren't there in the morning.
The best approach is simply to ask. You might be surprised at what's available.
