🎄 1. Offer Festive Rewards: 6th Waxing Session for Free!

🎁 2. Create Gift Hampers & Treatment Combos 

Christmas is all about sharing and giving, so why not offer gift hampers filled with your best-products? Clients can pick up these hampers as a treat for themselves or as a thoughtful gift for someone special.

You could also put together festive treatment combos like, “Book a full body wax and enjoy a complimentary brow lamination or vajacial.” Not only do these bundles make clients feel like they’re getting more for their money, but they’re also a great way to upsell! 

🎅 3. Engage with Clients on Social Media 

Make the most of social media by running a Christmas competition. Ask clients to follow your page, tag friends, or share a festive photo from their salon visit. Offer a prize, like a FREE LYCON facial or pedicure, to one lucky winner. It’s a brilliant way to increase your online reach and create some buzz around your holiday offers. Plus, it’s all good fun for your clients! 

🎉 4. Host Group Parties at Your Salon 

If there is enough space, why not offer group bookings for treatments? Christmas is a jolly and cheerful season, so invite the clients to come with their friends to have a holiday pampering treat. A mini-Christmas party atmosphere can be created by adding a few holiday decorations and some holiday tunes, and possibly some flutters too. Group pedicures, facials, or waxing sessions may be the highlight of a Christmas trip that could be a booking.

🏆 5. Run Christmas Competitions for Exciting Prizes 

Hosting a Christmas competition—either in-salon or online—can keep things lively and festive. Create a prize hamper packed with LYCON products or Pinkini goodies or offer a luxurious treatment as the grand prize. It’s an easy way to add some excitement and attract both loyal and new clients to your salon. 

💡 6. Encourage Referrals with Special Deals 

There’s no better time than Christmas to encourage word-of-mouth referrals. Offer a special deal: if a client brings a friend to the salon, both of them receive a small discount or a free add-on treatment. It’s the season of good deeds and what better way to expand your business than by making your clients feel special? Besides, it will be a reward for loyal ones.

🎨 7. Deck the Halls: Unique Holiday Décor for Your Salon 

Give your salon a Christmas makeover but skip the standard red and green! Decorate in a way that reflects your brand’s style. For example, a winter wonderland theme with soft, pastel shades can create a calming vibe or go for decorations inspired by your services—imagine a tree with ornaments shaped like brows or mini wax strips! This not only looks unique but makes your salon memorable.

Example - You can decor your waxing salon literally using hot wax and sugar sprinkles. Check out the below video
