The holiday season is the perfect time to sprinkle some festive magic throughout your salon. With thoughtful holiday salon marketing ideas, you can transform your space into a winter wonderland that delights clients and encourages gift-giving. From sparkling window displays to cozy retail corners, let’s explore how to deck your salon’s halls and make spirits—and sales—bright.
Holiday packages are a great way to sell a combination of services that guests may have otherwise never tried. Combine services to create a luxury experience package – with the right price point and “package name/or title” your packages should hit the sweet spot.
Create packages at several price points and get creative. Gift givers can be very generous if the gift is right. Encourage higher sales by combining 3 or 4 services into a “beauty day” specially priced at 25% off for a limited time. Don’t be afraid to offer high-priced service packages such as “A Year of Hair Color” or “A Massage of the Month”.
Determine a holiday look for your beauty business and deck the halls! Purposeful merchandising should not only add cheer but also showcase your retail and service promotions. Give an overall “ho-ho-ho” to your business in your special branded way.

Get people talking about your salon this season. Encourage clients to post pics of their “holiday hair” on Instagram or Facebook. With very little effort, you can bring a sparkle to your social online presence.
Don’t forget to add some holiday flair to your social media platforms. Change the banner on your business page, and create holiday-themed templates for your FB and Instagram posts. Add some sparkle and cheer to every “touch point” for your clients.
December is a great time to do an annual “Enter to Win” contest. Think of the “right giveaway” that will promote natural enthusiasm, as well as get guest engagement both in-store and online. Put a free product or gift set up for grabs to a winner who will be selected from anyone who follows your page and tags a friend under your giveaway post.
You may even offer a discount on select services for anyone who enters to encourage even more entries and more immediate bookings.
Take the time to promote your team. A playful way to connect to your current and future customers, a team photo makes your team approachable. Highlight the most meaningful gift your staff has ever received with the photo post for more interest and engagement.
Offering a seasonal beverage is something that costs almost nothing, yet makes a huge statement. Give your salon guests cozy drink options, like hot caramel apple cider with a cinnamon stick, hot cocoa with marshmallows, and hot blueberry tea with a sugar-butter cookie.
Another way to make your mark is with holiday mugs – choose mugs that match your salon’s personality and add to an inviting holiday presentation.
The most successful holiday salon marketing ideas go beyond discounts—they tap into emotion. Think cozy retail corners with warm lighting, handwritten “wish list” tags for products, or peppermint-scented treatments that feel like a gift. The goal is to make clients feel wrapped up in your brand’s festive spirit the moment they walk in. Charm, delight, and connection? Now that’s a season worth celebrating.
This season, your salon’s retail area can do more than sparkle—it can sell. Curated gift sets, personalized product bundles, and beautifully wrapped gift cards are all holiday salon marketing ideas that turn foot traffic into revenue. Add bow-tied signage like “Glam in a Box” or “Stocking Stuffer Favorites” and suddenly your shelves become irresistible. Don’t just display—storytell.
Want to keep your clients coming back long after the tree’s come down? Try holiday salon marketing ideas that reward loyalty and nurture connection. Think: exclusive seasonal events, surprise “12 Days of Beauty” gifts, or social media giveaways that spotlight your regulars. These efforts aren’t just merry—they’re meaningful. And they position your salon as a place where clients feel seen, valued, and celebrated.
Embracing these holiday salon marketing ideas allows you to create an inviting atmosphere that captures the joy of the season. By thoughtfully adorning every nook of your salon, you not only enhance the client experience but also inspire festive purchases. Let your salon shine as a beacon of holiday cheer, turning each visit into a memorable celebration.
