When to Book Your Holiday Appointments ✨ November 7, 2025

The holidays are full of celebrations, from family dinners to festive parties — and of course, lots of photos! To look and feel your best, timing your beauty appointments is key. Booking too late could leave you scrambling for availability, while booking too early might mean your color or skin glow fades before the big day. Here’s your guide to planning the perfect holiday prep schedule:

4–6 Weeks Before the Holidays

Hair Color Appointments

• Ideal for: Root touch-ups, highlights, balayage, or a full color change.

• Why: This gives your color time to settle and look natural, while still staying fresh through December. Plus, you’ll have time for adjustments if needed.

Facial Treatments

• Ideal for: Deep-cleansing facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion.

• Why: These treatments can leave your skin a little red or sensitive at first, but with enough time, you’ll be glowing just in time for the holidays.

2–3 Weeks Before the Holidays

Haircuts & Trims

• Ideal for: Freshening up your style or adding shape before holiday events.

• Why: A trim keeps ends healthy and ensures your cut looks sharp for all your gatherings.

Hydrating Facials

• Ideal for: Skin that’s dry from cold weather.

• Why: A hydrating facial will plump, smooth, and brighten without downtime — perfect for getting skin holiday-ready.

1 Week Before the Holidays

Gloss Treatments

• Ideal for: Adding shine and sealing color.

• Why: A gloss boosts vibrancy and gives hair that photo-ready finish.

Eyebrow Shaping & Waxing

• Ideal for: Brows and facial waxing.

• Why: Doing this about a week out avoids redness or irritation, leaving skin smooth and event-ready.

2–3 Days Before the Holidays

Nails

• Ideal for: Gelish manicures, acrylic fills, or nail art.

• Why: This timing keeps nails chip-free and fresh for your main events.

Quick Refresh Facials

• Ideal for: Calming facials, LED light therapy, or gentle exfoliation.

• Why: These treatments give skin a radiant glow without irritation, so you’re camera-ready.

Night Before

Styling Appointments

• Ideal for: Blowouts or curls

• Why: Nothing beats having your hair professionally styled right before your holiday party or dinner.
