Salon appointments in the lead-up to Christmas are like gold dust, as men and women compete to book their favourite therapist to make themselves look and feel great during the festive period.
Indeed, this is party season, so people are getting their legs waxed, their eyelashes done, their nails painted, and their tans reapplied for the annual event.
In fact, more than four in ten (86 per cent) of companies will host a Christmas party and over half have big budgets for the special occasion.
So it’s only natural that attendees will want to look their best in front of their colleagues, as this is often the biggest office event of the year.
People aren’t just booking appointments to get dolled up though, as many choose to treat themselves to a pampering session to combat the stress of the season.
It might come as a surprise, but Mental Health UK reports that three in ten Brits claim their mental health suffers over Christmas, as a result of feeling overwhelmed, tired, and anxious, as well as the pressure to make it special for loved ones.
Therefore, although it’s a busy season, it is also important to schedule some ‘me time’ to recharge and refresh yourself, so you are able to handle, and, subsequently, enjoy, it more.
You could book yourself a blissful ritual, which includes a hot stones massage to relieve muscle soreness, and a hydrating facial to make your skin look fresher and feel softer.
Alternatively, a body bliss treatment includes a one-hour facial with a 30-minute deep tissue massage, which could be just what you need after battling through the crowds when Christmas shopping!
If you’re among those who really struggle with the festive period, book a pranic healing taster session that heals your aura by working on your energy fields.
