Fabulous hair for the festive season

The festive holidays are fast approaching and we’re aiming to spread a little extra magic and sparkle this year.

It’s time to spoil yourself, especially after the year we’ve just been through. So bring on the glitter and glam and make sure your hair is looking fabulously festive and ready for anything – from late-night partying and mistletoe moments to coffee with friends and that all-important Christmas lunch with the family.

Here are my top hair tips for a truly beautiful Christmas:

Step into Christmas…

We love an up-do and Christmas is the perfect time to really rock this look. While in the chair, ask your stylist to show you a couple of easy party options – from ballerina buns to classy chignons and baby braids to a twisted tie-back.

Add some Christmas colour

Go for it! But don’t forget you’ll need to plan ahead a little. Depending on the look you’re after, you may need more than one colour appointment, so it’s best to book early as Christmas is our busiest time.

Amanda suggests keeping an eye on our salon social for some creative colour inspo – from pretty pastels to festive reds and brilliant blondes to sultry brunettes – you’ll find tons of ideas to inspire your next salon visit.

To keep your colour salon-fresh into the new year Amanda recommends:

  • Use a sulphate-free shampoo like Davines Minu Illuminating Colour range

  • Rinse with cold water as hot water opens the hair cuticle and washes colour away.

  • Use heat protectant when drying and styling as heat will cause faster fading.

Extending the party season

Do you want long, tumbling locks to die for this Christmas? If so, glam up with some swishy hair extensions for instant natural looking volume, length and colour.

Extensions can transform the way you look and give you a huge confidence boost and our new stylist, John is an extension specialist. Again – we recommend you book early for a consultation as hair extensions are so popular at this time of year. We can also advise on the best products for home care too.

Pump up the (festive) volume

And, of course, big is back. The glossy and voluminous blowout vibe that was so popular in the 90s is back with a bang – book now so you can go large at that special Christmas party. The bigger the bounce the better!

‘Tis the season to be gorgeous
