Holiday Hair Planning: How to Book Smart for the Busiest Season of the Year

The holidays are coming and salon appointments fill up fast. The team at Hair Effex in Bellmore, NY shares exactly how to plan your holiday hair so you never miss out on your favorite dates.

Every year it happens. Clients call us in mid-December looking for a Christmas Eve appointment and we're completely booked. It's one of the most common holiday frustrations — and it's entirely preventable.

If you want to look amazing for every holiday event, family photo, and New Year's celebration this season, the time to start planning is right now. Here's how to do it smart.

UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE

The holiday salon rush begins the week before Thanksgiving and doesn't slow down until after New Year's. The most in-demand dates — the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the week before Christmas, and New Year's Eve — book up weeks in advance.

If you want one of those dates, book it in November. Not December.

KNOW WHAT SERVICES YOU WANT

Think through your holiday calendar and what events you have coming up:

  • Thanksgiving with family — do you want a fresh cut and blowout?

  • Holiday office party — is this a color refresh moment?

  • Christmas photos — do you want to try something new or stay classic?

  • New Year's Eve — updo? blowout? major transformation?

Having a plan makes it much easier to book the right appointment at the right time.

CONSIDER MULTIPLE VISITS

If you color your hair, you'll likely want at least two visits between now and New Year's — one in November and one just before the holidays. Schedule both at once so you're guaranteed your preferred dates and stylist.

DON'T FORGET RETAIL GIFTS

Hair Effex carries professional Wella products that make incredible holiday gifts — and we price match Amazon on every single one. Plus every service earns loyalty points toward product purchases. Ask us about holiday gift options at your next visit.
