    A groom preparation timeline spaces facials, haircut trials, beard shaping, body care and final touch-ups week by week so the groom peaks on the wedding day.

    Quick Answer

    A groom preparation timeline starts skin and beard care in weeks 6–4, runs haircut and beard trials in weeks 4–2, and finishes with the final cut, beard shaping, facial and D-Tan in the last week. This ensures the groom looks sharp and fresh on the day.

    Key Takeaways

    • Weeks 6–4: start skin and beard care.
    • Weeks 4–2: haircut and beard trials.
