The Christmas season is always a magical time, full of celebration, and a calendar packed with events. For many, it’s also the busiest time of year for self-care, especially when it comes to looking and feeling your best. At Major Hairdressing, we know how important it is to have your hair looking perfect for every Christmas party, family gathering, and New Year’s celebration. That’s why we’re here to share why booking your Christmas hair appointment in advance is the best gift you can give yourself this season.
Why Planning Christmas Hair Appointments Ahead Matters

What's the big deal?
It’s no secret that the weeks leading up to Christmas are our busiest of the year. In fact, many of our regulars start booking their Christmas hair appointments as early as January! Yes, you read that right… some clients secure their December slots an entire year in advance. Why? Because they know how quickly our appointment book fills up, and they want to guarantee their preferred time and stylist.
The Rush for Christmas Party Hair
As soon as November hits, the excitement for Christmas party season begins. Whether it’s an office do, a festive night out with friends, or a family get-together, everyone wants to look their best. This means November and December become prime time for hair transformations, think fresh cuts, big blow dries, vibrant colours, and glamorous updos. Our stylists’ diaries fill up fast, with some dates fully booked weeks (or even months) ahead of time.
If you’ve ever tried to book a last-minute Christmas hair appointment, you’ll know how tricky it can be. The most popular times, late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are always the first to go. By booking early, you won’t have to compromise on your preferred slot or miss out on your favourite stylist.
Why Early Booking Is Essential
- Guarantee Your Preferred Stylist: Our team, including master colour experts and updo specialists, are in high demand during the festive season. Early booking ensures you get the stylist you trust for your signature look.
- Secure the Best Times: Want a Friday night blow dry before your work party? Or a Saturday morning refresh before heading home for Christmas? The best times are snapped up quickly, so it pays to plan ahead.
- Time for a Transformation: If you’re thinking about a big change, like a new colour, extensions, or a keratin treatment, booking early gives you and your stylist plenty of time to plan and perfect your look.
- Avoid Disappointment: Nothing feels worse than missing out on your Christmas hair appointment because everything’s fully booked. With advance notice, you can relax knowing your hair is in safe hands.
November... The Start of the Festive Rush
It’s not just December that gets busy, November is quickly becoming one of our most in-demand months. As soon as the Christmas party invites start rolling in, so do the appointment requests. Many clients want a fresh look for the start of party season, and savvy bookers know that November is the perfect time to beat the December rush.
If you’re hoping for a pre-party refresh, a colour top-up, or a new style to take you through the festivities, don’t wait until December to book. November appointments are already filling up fast, and we’d hate for you to miss out.

Tips for Securing Your Spot:
- Book now, not later: The sooner you book, the better your chances of getting your ideal appointment.
- Be flexible: If you can, consider a weekday or a slightly earlier/later time to open up more availability.
