How to: Keep Calm and Prioritise Self Care this Festive Season

When times get stressful, we crave control. Why? Because any form of stability helps ground us through the unpredictable storms. Love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure - this time of year can be STRESSFUL, especially for the beauty industry.

So, how can we maintain consistency, both in and out of the salon, to create a sense of peace amongst the chaos?

1. Replenish your salon must-haves

We know just how important it is to stay organised during the festive season. From well stocked salon essentials to an effective guest calendar, keeping on top of things can really help you manage your workload over Christmas and New Year. We know it’s easier said than done, but keeping your salon essentials stocked can be a real weight off your shoulders during these hectic times.

If you haven’t already restocked your Foil Me stash in the lead up to Christmas, our exciting new collection, The Celebration, is just perfect for this time of year… and beyond!

2. Don’t sway too far from your routine

If you’ve already got a routine, make a conscious effort to stick with it, even during the busy season. If you don’t, now is as good a time as any to start one! By routine, we don’t mean a strict schedule detailing each hour of your day – but if that’s your jam, great! Instead, we suggest doing something each day to bring you joy and keep you present. Be it a beach stroll, meditation, or cherished time with loved ones, these mindful moments will relieve your stress and give you a moment of serenity.

Craving a moment to bask in the serenity but don’t have time to take a break? We have just the thing for you! Featuring a gorgeous aquamarine backdrop with white hand-drawn leaves, The So Serene is a fan favourite for its subtle allure and calming nature.

3. Plan for recovery

The holiday season can be a whirlwind, especially for all you hardworking hair artists. For us mere mortals, Christmas alone is enough to have us craving a weeklong holiday afterwards - but for our hardworking Movers? Oh, you deserve even longer! To really reset your mind (and maintain your sanity) allow yourself to indulge in some well-deserved relaxation, both during and after the silly season. Whether it’s a weekend away or even a day trip, it’s super important to take a break – even if only for a short time.

Much like holidays, foils come in all different lengths; from Long to Short and everything in between. And, just like everybody’s needs differ when it comes to taking time off, so too do their foil preferences! Want to know more? Explore our Silver Collection below for a wide range of sizes to help you bring your holiday transformations to life!

In the rush of the holiday season, it’s so important to find peace among the madness. By restocking salon essentials, embracing routines that bring joy, and planning for essential recovery time, the chaos can feel a little more manageable. Remember, amidst the whirlwind, these practices can help you navigate the festivities with ease and peace of mind. Cheers to a balanced, joyous, and stress-less holiday season!
