Prep NOW for the Holidays: 5 Spa & Beauty Treatments to Book Early

The holiday season is filled with sparkle, celebrations, and a little bit of stress. Between shopping, decorating, and attending festive gatherings, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. That’s why holiday spa prep is essential. Book your beauty and wellness treatments early this year, so you’ll look radiant, feel refreshed, and avoid the last-minute rush. From glowing skin to holiday-perfect hair, here are the top five spa and beauty treatments to schedule now:

1. Holiday-Ready Lashes

Want to wake up looking party-ready all season long? Lash extensions and lash lifts are the ultimate low-maintenance beauty hack. Book your appointment now and plan for a simple refill in December to carry you through Thanksgiving dinners, office parties, and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Flawless lashes add instant glamour to your holiday look. Check out the Lash Lounge on Spafinder for all your lash needs. 

2. Botox Before the Holidays

When it comes to injectables like Botox or dermal fillers, timing is key. Results take about 1–2 weeks to fully settle, so schedule your appointment no later than November 10. That way, you’ll look refreshed and polished in time for Thanksgiving and all your December holiday parties. Don’t wait—spa and med spa calendars fill up quickly this time of year. Nervous about trying Botox, here’s an explainer for you.

3. Fresh Hair for Festive Gatherings

Nothing says holiday glam like a fresh cut and color. Whether you’re going bold with a rich seasonal shade or opting for a sleek new style, book your appointment now to secure your spot. For best results, plan your haircut at least 10 days before Thanksgiving so your style has time to set. By the time your first holiday gathering arrives, your hair will look naturally stunning. Remember, Spafinder Gift Cards can be redeemed at salons as well as spas. 

4. Holiday Spa Gifts & Stocking Stuffers

Skip the mall crowds and give the gift of relaxation. Spa goodies—like luxury skincare, candles, or body scrubs—make perfect holiday stocking stuffers. Be sure to check out our Spafinder shop for great spa stocking stuffers.  And if you’re a Spafinder Gift Card VIP, check your email for early access to exclusive deals. Spafinder Gift Cards are the easiest way to spread holiday cheer—they can be used at thousands of spas and salons nationwide. 

5. Don’t Forget Your Own Self-Care

Between holiday shopping and party planning, it’s easy to forget yourself. Book a massage, facial, or body treatment now to unwind before the season gets hectic. Holiday self-care treatments help reduce stress, improve your glow, and keep your energy high for the festivities ahead. Consider it the ultimate gift to yourself.
