beak & nail trimming

I have a four year old umbrella. I take her to the vets a couple times per year to get her beak & nails trimmed. I can do her flight feathers here at home, but she doesn't like me doing the beak & nails. Right now she is grown out enough that my eight year old daughter can hardly stand to handle her because her nails hurt her so much. It's a shame because they're normally such a sweet twosome and inseparable. My question is...is there a certain time of the year that the beak & nails grow out quicker. If I take her right now just before spring time would I be wasting my money because she would grow out right after we got her trimmed? Should we wait until spring sets in? I seem to have remembered hearing something about that, but not sure. Just trying to be a "thrifty" but responsible pet owner :) Is that possible? haha Thanks for your replies.
