Festive beauty guide to shining hair, sparkling make-up and twinkling Christmas nail designs

’Tis the season to glow! The summer sun is out, balmy nights are in, and now the festive season truly begins. Whether you're prepping for the office Christmas party, a family gathering, or a festive soirée with friends, sashay into Macarthur Square and get ready to sparkle brighter than the Christmas lights.

From fun and on-trend Christmas nail designs to glowing summer skin, join us on a beauty journey to get Christmas-ready with a touch of sparkle, a dash of glamour, and a whole lot of self-care that’ll have Buddy from Elf saying, “You have such a pretty face. You should be on a Christmas card!”

Perfect your Christmas nails

Nothing says ‘Christmas-ready’ quite like a fresh set of Christmas nails! 

This year, Christmas nail designs are all about adding a little magic to your fingertips. Whether you’re into cute Christmas nails that feature Santa hats, snowflakes and gingerbread men or prefer a classic look with deep reds and glittering gold accents, the experts at Fresh Nails and ProfessionNAILS can help you nail (pun intended!) the perfect look. Our advice? Go all out with Christmas acrylic nails with a modern twist – try candy cane stripes, frosty tips or even a cheeky reindeer or two! So fun! 

If you’re more of an at-home manicure maestro, you’ll need new supplies. Big W has all the essentials you need to create your own Christmas nail art. Think vibrant red and green polishes, glitter topcoats, nail art pens and even stick-on gems to add a little extra bling. Don’t forget the basic bits, too – a nail file, scissors, cuticle pusher, polish remover and cotton wool.

Christmas nail design tip: If you’re looking to master the classic Christmas red, the key is finding a shade that complements your skin tone. And don’t forget a high-shine topcoat to make your manicure last through all the present-opening, feasting, and festive fun! The staff at Healthy Nails will sort you out with everything you need.

Holiday hair: Tis the season for a new look

Christmas is the perfect time to refresh your look. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek bob, glossy waves or a bold new colour, the hair experts at Amelia Jacobs and Itz All About Hair are here to make it happen. Your hair will be looking great for the holiday season! 

Need to get party ready but short on time (let’s be honest, who isn’t)? Pop into Just Cuts for a wash and blow-dry, beachy waves or the summer style of the season, a slick pony adorned by a delicate bow.

The barbers at House of Barbers also offer a range of pre-Christmas services, from trims to beard grooming, so you can look sharp and feel great throughout the holiday season. Whether it’s a classic cut, a tidy beard trim, or a hot towel shave, they’ll have you looking your best in no time.

Glow up with skincare and Christmas Day makeup

While you’re out shopping for your loved ones, don’t forget to pause and pamper yourself. A little beauty-based luxury will do the trick. 

Firstly, why not consider rehydrating and brightening your skin? You can rejuvenate your complexion with a luxurious facial treatment at Clear Skincare Clinics or Australian Skin Clinics. Whether you’re after a deep-cleansing facial to refresh and revitalise or a hydrating treatment to give your skin that radiant glow, our beauty experts are here to help you put your best face forward. With treatments tailored to your skin type, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the festivities.

Speaking of festivities, when it comes to Christmas parties and events, why not go all out with a professional makeup session? You’ll appreciate it. The talented makeup artists at Mecca will create the perfect look for you. 

If you’re DIY glamming, spend some time exploring the latest looks and must-have products. Don’t know whether to go for a natural, dewy glow, shimmery winged eye or a classic red lip? Sephora offers advice on perfecting your Christmas Day makeup look. Make sure to book ahead, as slots fill up quickly during the holiday season!

And don’t forget to update your home products range and treat yourself to some new makeup (it makes a great present, too).

Unwrap smooth skin: Laser hair removal and waxing

It’s beach season, which means it’s time to get silky smooth. Say goodbye to last-minute shaving woes and hello to smooth, care-free skin all holiday season. For a long-lasting solution for hair removal, laser hair removal and waxing services at Evolution Laser Clinic and Laser Clinics Australia are the way to go. 

Whether you’re planning to slip into a dazzling dress or spend your day by the beach or poolside, these treatments ensure your skin stays soft and smooth through Christmas, past New Year and well into 2025.

Laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution, targeting hair follicles to reduce regrowth over time. It’s ideal for anyone tired of the constant upkeep. On the other hand, waxing provides a quick and effective way to keep your skin hair-free and smooth for weeks.

Don’t miss out on special offers and holiday packages available at our salons. With discounted laser hair removal sessions and waxing bundles, now’s the perfect time to invest in some serious self-care. Book your appointment today and step into the festive season feeling fabulous and fuss-free!
