Can I get a haircut after a chemical peel?

Question

I’m getting a Rejuvenize Peel on Tuesday so I can be ready and fresh for my first day of work next Monday, I also need to get a haircut before I start working so do you think it would be acceptable for me to get a haircut on Sunday ( day 6 ) of the peel? Or would it be a better idea to get the haircut before my peel? Just don’t want getting a haircut to irritate my skin or mess up the peels results!

Hi! This is an excellent question to ask. 
I recommend to get a haircut before the peel. This way the peeling skin can heal properly. While your skin is peeling the new skin is temporarily more sensitive. To help soothe the skin use a gentle cleanser and a hydrating serum or gel, preferably one that contains hyaluronic acid. Try to avoid direct sun exposure and use a good SPF.    Peeling can last 3-9 days depending on the person. Hope this helps!

Hello. Thank you for the question. It would be best to get your haircut before your peel. Also, be aware you may still be peeling around your hairline for your first day of work.
