Festive Holiday Hairstyles to Turn Heads

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a calendar full of festive gatherings, from office parties to family dinners and New Year’s celebrations. The perfect holiday hairstyle can elevate your look and ensure you make an unforgettable impression. At Anna’s Salon Elite, our stylists are here to help you shine this season with dazzling hairstyles tailored to your event and personal style.

Here are some stunning holiday hairstyle ideas to inspire your next salon appointment:

Glamorous Hollywood Waves

Nothing says timeless elegance like old-Hollywood waves. This classic hairstyle works for any formal occasion and pairs beautifully with gowns or cocktail dresses.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Use a curling iron or wand to create uniform waves.
• Brush through the curls to soften them into waves.
• Add a shine spray or serum for that polished finish.

Best for: Long or medium-length hair, and pairs beautifully with deep side parts.

Chic High Ponytail

The high ponytail is both playful and sophisticated, making it a versatile choice for holiday parties. Add some curls or a sleek finish to amp up the drama.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Pull your hair up tightly and secure it high on the crown.
• Wrap a strand of hair around the base to hide the elastic.
• For a festive touch, consider adding a ribbon or jewel-encrusted accessory.

Best for: Straight or wavy hair and a youthful, edgy vibe.

Twisted Low Bun

For a more understated yet elegant look, a twisted low bun offers a soft and romantic option. This hairstyle is perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner party.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Part your hair in the middle or on the side.
• Twist small sections of hair, pinning them back as you go.
• Gather all the twists into a low bun and secure with pins.

Best for: Medium to long hair and works wonderfully with soft tendrils framing the face.

Half-Up Braided Crown

If you’re looking for something whimsical and feminine, a half-up braided crown will add a magical touch to your holiday look.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Create two small braids from either side of your head.
• Bring them together at the back and secure with pins or a small clip.
• Leave the rest of your hair down with soft curls for a dreamy effect.

Best for: Medium-length hair and a boho-chic vibe.

Sleek and Straight with Accessories

Sometimes simplicity is the key to standing out. Straight, shiny locks paired with a festive accessory can be just as striking as an elaborate updo.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Use a flat iron for a sleek, polished finish.
• Add a glittering headband, sparkly clip, or jeweled barrette for holiday flair.

Best for: All hair lengths and textures, especially when you’re short on time.

Voluminous Curly Blowout

Big, bouncy curls are always a showstopper and work perfectly for a more glamorous holiday event.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Ask your stylist for a blowout with lots of volume and curl.
• Use a large-barrel curling iron to enhance the bounce if needed.
• Finish with a texturizing spray to keep it light and airy.

Best for: Long hair or medium-length hair that holds curl well.

Elegant French Twist

For a more formal holiday look, the French twist is a sophisticated and timeless choice that pairs well with elegant dresses and sparkling jewelry.

How to Achieve the Look:

• Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it upward.
• Pin it into place, leaving the ends tucked in or cascading for a modern touch.
• Add a touch of hairspray to keep everything in place.

Best for: Medium to long hair and formal occasions.
