Party essentials: Part 2
We’ve already given you the low down on the perfect products to ensure your festive season clients’ hair concerns are sorted, but what about the face and nails? Don’t miss our must-buy Christmas line-up!Face
It’s all about that base, when it comes to the perfect face. Yes, we know the classic festive looks – red lippy of course, plus the prerequisite smokey eye – but first, it’s all about the prep. Helpful products that always come in handy are things like sponge wedges, Velcro headbands (to ensure that hair stays pristine) plus plenty of disposable mascara wands, lip liners and eye shadow applicators. But ahead of all of that, it’s always a good idea to give a client a pre-make up mask; they’re great for adding a last minute dose of plumpness, firming the skin or clearing up excess shine. And for the ultimate finishing touch, don’t forget the lashes!
We like: Kaeso Firming Facial Mask, Strictly Professional Gel Mask with Collagen & Essential Oil and Salon System Faster Than Mascara Lashes

Nails
Even for clients who want to do their own hair and make up,it’s likely that they’ll still come to you for a manicure. Whether they want something long lasting to get them through most of the festive period, or want something fun for a Christmas party, make sure you’re stocked up on your essentials (base, topcoat, cuticle oil), as well some new fun colours. Take your pick from our range of gel polishes or invest in some topcoats that will add durability or maybe a bit of glitter!
We like: Orly Glosser and the Masquerade Ball range from Gellux
The fun stuff!
Got a client who’s been with you forever and you want to give them a little treat? Or perhaps you want to add some festive retail to your offering over the Christmas period? You have to check out our Mad Beauty range; it’s an affordable and fun selection of cute yet useful products, from Vintage Kellogg’s Matchbox Emery Boards to fizzy Beauty Soda Pops Bath Salts.
