Party season picks
With Christmas only four weeks away, we share with you our party season picks to help make your clients the shining stars of the Christmas party!
Hair:
Before you pick up your favourite styling tool, remember preparation is vital for beautiful tresses. Encourage clients to come in for a conditioning treatment a week or two prior to their cut, colour or style. After this appointment, pick your prep products for extra style and staying power.
We love:
L’Oreal Professionionnel Techni.ART Pli for grip, hold and to help set curls. Spray on to damp or dry hair liberally before using styling tools. For a matte effect and rough volume, we love Schwarzkopf OSIS+ Dust It. Simply apply to dry hair and style and texturise as desired.
Get your client ready to rock with a gorgeous hairstyle, whether it’s smooth, poker straight locks, a romantic updo or voluminous curls sure to add va-va-voom to any outfit.
We love:
Sutra Ionic Smoothing Brush for seriously straight, high shine hair, and for super tight curls, Diva’s Intelligent Micro Stick gives a beautiful, long-lasting result. To keep everything in place, you can’t beat Schwarzkopf Silhouette Flexible Hold Hairspray for invisible, long lasting control. Osmo Blinding Shine Illuminating Finisher will make your client's hair shine like a new penny. The ultimate high gloss shine spray, perfect for finishing any style.
Beauty:
At this time of year, your client’s skin will need an extra boost to restore its glow. A pre-make up mask is great for adding a last minute dose of plumpness and removes shine for a flawless base. For a picture perfect Christmas look, smoky eyes and starlet red lips always prove popular. Christmas also provides an opportunity to sell add on treatments, such as lash or brows, as clients are likely to be more willing to treat themselves.
We love:
For a smooth radiant base, Kaeso Firming Facial Mask firms, tones and smooths the appearance of fine lines whilst nourishing and enhancing radiance for younger looking skin. Lightweight and quick and easy to apply, Salon System Naturalash Strip Lashes instantly add length, volume and definition.
Nails:
Even clients who do their own hair and make-up are likely to come to the pros for a manicure. Whether it’s a long lasting gel polish to last the Christmas period or some fun nail art for the office party, make sure you’re stocked up with essentials, such as cuticle oil, and some fun festive colours.
We love:
Salon System Gellux Mirror Powder Kit contains 3 chrome powders in silver mirror, gold mirror and mermaid, allowing you to transform your favourite Gellux shade into a gorgeous chrome effect. We also love Sinful PROshine Cosmetic Glitter, available in Mermaid Iridescent, Silver Hologram,Golden Bronze, Unicorn, Firework Mix, Fuchsia Mix, Red Hot, Vixen Multimix, Copper Penny, Rose Gold, Purple Rain, Black Magic, Gold Rush, Meteor Shower and Frozen Mix.
