Fast & Festive Hairstyles for the Holidays

October 1 2019

Everyone wants to look their best for those holiday parties and get-togethers, and we’re here to help at Village Salon & Spa! We’ve put together a few of the easiest do-it-yourself holiday hairstyles, as well as some ideas for doing something fun and different with your style.

Quick twisted bun. This is a fun, classy looking style that’s easy to do on your own. Just start with a ponytail, then twist until it starts to form a tight core. Keep twisting and wrap the remaining hair around the core, tuck in the extras and pin it in place securely. That’s it! You can dress it up with colorful, festive ribbons, or use a comb or clip with rhinestone glitter for a more formal event.

Half-up. A quick half-up hairstyle works really well for curly hair. Just section off the top front layer of your hair into ponytail. Braid that section or leave the ponytail and accessorize with color-coordinated ribbons and you’re all set for that holiday party! Another option on this easy hairstyle is taking sections from both sides and twisting them into the ponytail or braid.

French twist. Try this sleek, classy look for shoulder length hair. Sweep your hair over to one side in the back, then roll it toward the center, smoothing as you go while preventing it from gathering in one spot into a bun. The look covers the entire back of your head with a folded twist. This is the perfect style for accessories – try using a long pin or clip that adds sparkle for the entire length of the twist for that classic holiday style.

The updo. Our stylists can help you put together a more complicated updo style with twists, loops, or knots that look perfect with all your holiday outfits. The secret is in the hold and keeping the rest of your hair looking neat and polished while the updo stays in place, and our experienced stylists use professional products that help your perfect updo hold up throughout the festivities.

The professional blow dry. In a hurry? Let our stylists take the hassle out of your holiday party hairstyle with a professional blow dry and styling, either with a flat iron or curling iron, depending on the look you want. You’ll get the peace of mind knowing that your hair will look great all through the evening and a professional, straight-from-the-salon look!

The fresh cut. Always wearing that same hairstyle? Surprise your friends and family at the holiday get-together with a new cut! You don’t need a drastic change to achieve a different style, and our stylists can help create the perfect look for your style and personality that you’ll love through all you holiday parties and beyond!

The new color. Want to keep your length? You can change up your look with a different color. Get a change with baby steps through partial highlights to add dimension, or if you’ve been thinking about a new color, now is a great time! Go will full highlights or even a whole new color and really get in the festive mood this holiday season. Our professional stylists use Redken® hair color for vibrant, rich colors that last.
