Spring Break Beauty Prep: Salon Must-Dos Before You Jet Off!
Spring break is just around the corner, which means it's time to trade in your winter blues for sandy beaches, poolside lounging, and nonstop fun in the sun. But before you pack your bags and head out, don’t forget to schedule some essential salon appointments! A little pre-trip pampering will have you looking and feeling your best. Here’s your ultimate beauty checklist before you take off.
1. Freshen Up Your Hair
A trim or deep conditioning treatment is a must to get rid of dry winter ends and restore moisture to your locks. If you’re thinking about a color refresh, book your appointment at least a week before you leave so your hair has time to settle before exposure to sun and saltwater. Bonus tip: Ask your stylist for a gloss treatment to keep your hair shiny and vibrant all vacation long!
2. Manicure & Pedicure Perfection
Nothing says "vacation-ready" like perfectly polished nails! Opt for a long-lasting gel or dip powder manicure to avoid chips while you’re sipping margaritas by the pool. For your pedicure, go bold with bright, tropical colors that scream spring break fun!
3. Smooth Skin, No Worries
Whether you're rocking a bikini or sundress, smooth skin is a must. Book a waxing session a few days before your trip to ensure soft, irritation-free skin. From brows to bikini, a quick wax will have you feeling confident and carefree.
4. Lash & Brow Touch-Up
Give your eyes that effortless vacation glow by getting a lash lift and tint or lash extensions. This way, you can skip mascara and still look flawless. Don’t forget to shape and tint your brows for that extra polished, low-maintenance look!
5. Spray Tan for the Perfect Glow
Skip the tanning beds and opt for a custom spray tan instead. A professional spray tan will give you that sun-kissed glow without the sun damage. Get it done 1-2 days before your trip for the best results.
6. Hydrating Facial
A pre-vacation facial will help refresh and hydrate your skin, ensuring you glow naturally throughout your trip. Consider a gentle exfoliation treatment to remove dead skin cells and boost your skin’s radiance.
7. Stock Up on Salon-Recommended Products
Before you leave, ask your stylist or esthetician for travel-size beauty essentials like heat protectants, SPF-infused hair sprays, and moisturizing face mists. Protecting your hair and skin from the sun, salt, and chlorine will keep you looking fabulous all week long.
Final Thoughts
Spring break is all about fun and relaxation, so don’t let beauty maintenance stress you out while you’re away. With a little salon prep, you’ll be able to focus on making memories while looking and feeling amazing. Book your appointments early, pack your SPF, and get ready to slay your spring break vacay!
