How you can be the best client during the Christmas Period!

The festive season is a time for glam, celebration, and looking your best. Whether you're attending a festive gathering, a winter wedding, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, looking fabulous is a priority for many. If you're booking beauty services for hair, makeup, or lashes during the busy Christmas period, it’s important to be a thoughtful and considerate client. Here are some tips to help you be the best client and ensure you and your stylist have a smooth and enjoyable experience.

1. Book Early and Confirm Your Appointment

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for beauty professionals. To ensure you get your desired appointment, book as early as possible—ideally, months in advance. As you get closer to the date, confirm your appointment to avoid any scheduling mishaps. This helps your stylist, makeup artist, or lash technician plan their day effectively, and it ensures your spot is secured.

2. Communicate Your Expectations

Whether it’s a specific hairstyle, makeup look, or lash extension style, clear communication is key. Come prepared with pictures or descriptions of the look you want to achieve. Be open to professional advice, as your beauty artist will have experience in what works best for your face shape, hair type, and overall style. However, don’t be afraid to speak up about your preferences, as collaboration creates the best results.

3. Be Punctual

During the busy holiday season, time is of the essence. Arriving on time ensures that you receive the full service you’ve booked, and it also shows respect for the stylist’s or artist’s schedule. If you’re running late, let them know in advance. Being punctual will help everyone stay on track, ensuring a stress-free appointment for both parties.

4. Come with Clean Hair and Skin

For hair appointments, it’s generally best to arrive with clean, dry hair unless your stylist specifically requests otherwise. Similarly, for makeup applications, start with a clean face so your artist can apply makeup without any residue. For lash extensions, arriving with makeup-free eyes is essential so the technician can work on a clean base.

5. Respect Their Time

The holiday season can bring tight schedules, especially when clients are back-to-back. If you’ve booked for a specific service, whether it's hair styling, makeup, or lashes, avoid making last-minute changes or additions unless discussed in advance. This ensures that your artist has enough time to complete your desired look without rushing, allowing for the best results.

6. Be Honest About Your Budget

Be upfront about your budget when booking your appointment. It’s helpful for your stylist or artist to know what you’re comfortable spending so they can recommend options within your price range. There are plenty of ways to get stunning looks that suit both your preferences and your wallet, and transparency ensures no surprises when it’s time to pay.

7. Tip

The holiday season is a time for giving, and beauty professionals often work long hours to accommodate the influx of clients. If you’re pleased with the results, show your appreciation by leaving a tip. Tipping is a great way to thank your stylist, makeup artist, or lash technician for their hard work and skill. A thoughtful tip shows gratitude and keeps the festive spirit alive! We all know times are hard so don't put pressure on yourself!

8. Be Patient and Understanding

During the Christmas period, things can get hectic. While you may be excited for your glam session, remember that delays can happen—whether due to unforeseen circumstances or the busy nature of the season. If things don’t go exactly as planned, stay calm, be understanding, and trust that your artist is doing their best to give you the most fabulous look.

9. Follow Aftercare Instructions

Once your beauty service is complete, follow any aftercare instructions given by your stylist or technician. Whether it’s hair care, makeup maintenance, or lash extension tips, proper aftercare will ensure your look lasts through all your holiday events. A little extra attention to the details can make all the difference in maintaining your fabulous results.
