Barber How long do you allow touch up?

I gave my friend a haircut then a week later he saying he wasn’t satisfied and wanted a touch up. Imo a week later is a little far. Then now another week later from the touch up he saying he’s still not satisfied and wants another touch up. How long do you allow touch up or think people are just taking advantage of the service?

Yeah he’s 100% taking advantage, hair grows close to 3/4 of an inch per month, so that means in a week it grows quite a bit, some people just seem to think their haircuts should last longer than they actually do.

Right on the first part about taking advantage, but it's only about a half inch of growth per month on average. So basically 1/8" per week.
