The holiday season is upon us—a time filled with celebrations, family gatherings, and plenty of photo opportunities. At Venelle Salon and Spa, located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we’re here to help you look and feel your best. With a range of luxurious treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin and hair, you can step into the season glowing with confidence. Here’s your guide to prepping for the holidays, using professional spa services to achieve that radiant, polished look.


Why Pre-Holiday Prep Matters

The hustle and bustle of the holidays often leave little time for self-care, which can take a toll on your skin and hair. The colder weather, indoor heating, and late-night festivities can result in dryness, dullness, and frizz. By investing in professional skin and hair care treatments ahead of the holiday rush, you can ensure you’ll look stunning for every occasion.


Step 1: Glow-Up with a Custom Facial

Healthy, radiant skin starts with the right facial. At Venelle Salon and Spa, we offer a variety of facials tailored to your skin type and concerns. Whether you need hydration, exfoliation, or brightening, our expert estheticians can help you achieve a flawless glow.

  • Recommended Treatments:
    • Hydrating Facial: Combat winter dryness with a deeply moisturizing treatment that restores your skin’s natural barrier.
    • Brightening Facial: Eliminate dullness and uneven skin tone with exfoliation and vitamin-rich serums.
    • Anti-Aging Facial: Smooth fine lines and revitalize tired skin for a youthful, holiday-ready look.

Pro Tip: Schedule your facial about a week before any major event to give your skin time to settle and shine.


Step 2: Revitalize Your Hair

The winter air can strip your hair of moisture, leaving it prone to breakage and frizz. Preparing your hair for the holidays means focusing on hydration, repair, and styling. Our hair care treatments at Venelle Salon and Spa will leave your locks looking glossy, smooth, and ready for any holiday party.

  • Recommended Treatments:
    • Deep Conditioning Treatment: Restore moisture and repair damaged hair with nourishing masks and professional-grade products.
    • Keratin Treatment: Tame frizz and add shine for sleek, manageable hair all season long.
    • Scalp Treatment: Promote healthy hair growth by cleansing and nourishing your scalp.

Pro Tip: Book a fresh haircut or trim to remove split ends and give your hair a polished look.


Step 3: Nail the Details

No holiday look is complete without perfectly groomed nails. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure that complements your festive attire. From classic reds and metallics to trendy nail art, we’ll ensure your nails are party-ready.

  • Popular Holiday Colors: Sparkling gold, deep burgundy, icy blues, and rich emerald greens.
  • Custom Nail Art: Add snowflakes, glitter, or holiday-themed designs for extra flair.

Step 4: Full-Body Glow

Don’t forget to pamper the rest of your body! Dry winter air can leave your skin looking dull and flaky. Our body treatments will leave your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.

  • Body Scrubs: Exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal radiant, silky skin.
  • Body Wraps: Detoxify and hydrate with luxurious wraps infused with nourishing ingredients.
  • Spray Tan: Achieve a sun-kissed glow without the harmful UV rays.

Step 5: Relax and De-Stress

The holidays can be stressful, but it’s important to take time to relax and recharge. Our massage therapies are the perfect way to de-stress while improving circulation and releasing muscle tension.

  • Recommended Massages:
    • Swedish Massage for ultimate relaxation.
    • Deep Tissue Massage to relieve tension from holiday shopping and preparations.
    • Aromatherapy Massage for a calming, sensory experience.

Step 6: Home Care Tips

To maintain your holiday-ready look between spa visits, incorporate high-quality, eco-friendly beauty products into your routine. At Venelle Salon and Spa, we recommend sustainable, professional-grade products that nourish your skin and hair without harsh chemicals.

  • For Skin: Use a gentle exfoliator, hydrating serum, and rich moisturizer daily.
  • For Hair: Protect your strands with leave-in conditioner and avoid heat styling when possible.
  • For Nails: Keep your cuticles hydrated with nourishing oils and apply a top coat to prevent chipping.
