Why decorate your salon for Christmas?
If you’re asking yourself, “Do I really need to?” - well… yes, queen, you kind of do.
Your clients love to spoil themselves during the busy Christmas season. A beautifully decorated, Christmas-ready salon instantly adds to the holiday mood and makes their visit feel even more special. Whether they’re coming in for brows, lashes, or beauty treatments, the festive atmosphere helps them relax, enjoy, and soak in the magic.
Plus, let’s be honest… Christmas salon décor is incredibly content-friendly.
Just imagine! Cozy lights, bows everywhere, festive retail displays, decorated mirrors - all perfect for Instagram stories, TikToks, and client selfies. The more shareable your space is, the more organic promotion your salon gets.
1. Festive mirror accents
Let’s be honest… a decorated mirror is the heart of every Christmas-ready salon. It’s where clients take selfies, where your lighting hits just right, and where all the magical details come together. The inspo below is exactly the vibe: oversized garlands, glossy red baubles, berry branches, sparkly lights, and even cute little wreaths placed right on the mirror.
Want to recreate this look?
Combine a garland with a few big statement ornaments, wrap in some fairy lights, and add a ribbon - done. You’ve got a Pinterest-perfect mirror that your clients won’t stop photographing.
See the photo below for inspo:
2. Bows everywhere
If there’s one Christmas decoration that instantly makes your salon feel festive, it’s bows - big bows, tiny bows, velvet bows, shiny bows… literally everywhere bows. And the inspo below proves it: from giant storefront bows to delicate ribbons wrapped around candles and wall lights, bows are the easiest way to add a touch of holiday magic.
The best part?
They are timeless. They looked cute 10 years ago, they look cute today, and they will still look cute in 2035. 🎀 Big plus, you don't need to invest much to make a BIG difference.
Add them to:
- Mirrors
- Door handles
- Retail shelves
- Your reception desk
- Treatment rooms
- Christmas tree
- Garland corners
- Light fixtures
- Window displays
It’s simple, affordable, and incredibly photogenic - especially if you choose a deep red velvet ribbon that brings that luxurious Christmas feel.
3. Twinkling lights (Because Christmas isn’t Christmas without them)
If there’s one thing that instantly transforms your salon into a cozy Christmas wonderland, it’s lights. Warm, soft, magical twinkling lights. Whether you hang them across your mirrors, drape them above your stations, or wrap them around a window frame - they create that dreamy holiday glow everyone loves!
The inspo below shows just how far you can take it:
- fairy lights dripping from the ceiling
- salon mirrors outlined with warm white strands
- window frames wrapped in full garlands
- candles + lights for the ultimate cosy combo
It’s elegant, timeless, and honestly… impossible for clients to resist taking photos of or miss on street.
Lights add the kind of ambience that makes your salon feel instantly festive - and the best part? Once the sun sets at 4 PM, your salon will feel extra bright, inviting, and Christmas-magical!
4. The Christmas tree
No Christmas-ready salon is complete without a tree - big, small, or even mini. A Christmas tree instantly sets the mood and becomes one of the most eye-catching elements in your space. The best part? You can style it to perfectly match your salon aesthetic.
Small tree ideas
Perfect if you’re short on space or want to sprinkle a little Christmas magic throughout the salon. Place a mini tree:
- at your reception desk
- in the window
- next to the mirror in each treatment station
- by the retail shelf
Big tree ideas
If you have room for a full-size tree - make it a moment.
Place it somewhere visible as soon as clients walk in. Let it shine with:
- neutral ornaments
- warm fairy lights
- wrapped gift boxes underneath
- and… lots of red velvet bows (you knew this was coming!)
A big Christmas tree can become a statement piece and the perfect background for client before/after photos.
5. Bonus ideas to drive more content
If you really want your salon to shine during the holiday season - online and offline - here are two simple but powerful ideas.
Create a Christmas selfie corner
Clients love taking photos during their appointments - so why not make it easy (and aesthetic) for them?
Add a small “selfie spot” with:
- a decorated mirror
- a festive garland
- hanging ornaments
- warm fairy lights
You can even add Christmas stickers or vinyl decals to your mirrors (snowflakes, stars, “Merry & Bright,” etc.). It instantly makes the mirror look festive and encourages clients to snap a photo.
Gift your clients something small
Christmas is the perfect moment to surprise your clients with a little holiday touch. It doesn’t need to be big - it just needs to feel thoughtful.
Ideas:
- a small chocolate
- a candy cane
- a tiny Christmas cookie (yes, you can even bake them!)
- a mini beauty sample
- a handwritten holiday card
- a festive bow tied around a spoolie (we still don't get enough of bows)
These little moments make clients feel appreciated, and guess what? They often share it on Instagram - tagging YOU.
Small gesture → big smile → more loyalty → more content. 🎁
6. Christmas upsell opportunities
Besides decorating your salon, December is the perfect month to add extra revenue streams. Everyone is busy with Christmas shopping - so why not make it easy (and irresistible) for them? Here are a few ideas that can boost your holiday income:
-
Offer Gift Cards
Happy clients are your strongest ambassadors. Gift cards are an easy way for them to introduce friends and family to your salon. -
Holiday Beauty Bundles
Create a bundle with your favorite at-home brow or beauty products. Add cute holiday wrapping to make it a ready-to-gift option. Effortless for clients, profitable for you. For example, the Spoolie in combo with the No. 3 to take care of their brows at home. -
Festive Brow Packages
Combine your most popular treatments (like Brow Lamination + Hybrid Dye) into a limited-edition “Christmas Glow” package. -
Mini Stocking Fillers at the Counter
Think brow spoolies, nourishing balms, brow soap, or small skincare items. Clients love easy add-ons when checking out. And those small items can be the perfect tiny Christmas gift.
