Your Holiday Hair Game Plan: When to Book Before December Fills Up

The holidays are coming — and if there’s one thing we’ve learned after years behind the chair, it’s this: December books up fast. Every year, we get the same panicked calls mid-December from clients who want fresh colour before the office party or a blowout before New Year’s Eve… and we’re already full.

So here’s your game plan. Work backwards from your big event, and you’ll walk in feeling like yourself — just glossier.

3–4 Weeks Out: Colour

This is the time for the big moves: full colour, balayage, root melts, lived-in blondes. Booking colour a few weeks ahead of your event gives it time to settle — that fresh-from-the-salon intensity softens into something natural, and if anything needs a tweak, there’s time.

2 Weeks Out: Treatments

Dry, tired hair doesn’t hold a style the way healthy hair does. A deep conditioning treatment or a K18 molecular repair session two weeks before your event gets your hair in its best shape — think of it as a facial, but for your hair.

1 Week Out: The Cut

Trims, fringe touch-ups, face-framing layers — the finishing details. Close enough to your event to look fresh, with a few days for it to fall naturally into place.

The Week Of: Style It

This is blowout territory. Book your blowout for the day of (or day before) your event and let us do the work. You enjoy the party; we’ll handle the hair.
