As the festive season sparkles closer, calendars fill with celebrations. Office parties, family dinners, winter weddings, and rooftop countdowns all call for your best look. Every outfit shines brighter when your hair feels soft, healthy, and full of life.
At Hair N’ Now NYC, we believe great hair is the foundation of confidence. This season, give your hair the same attention you give your outfit. With winter’s cold winds, indoor heat, and constant styling, your strands need extra love — not just styling tricks.
Our master stylists have curated three essential luxury treatments designed to restore, protect, and illuminate your hair before the holidays begin. Whether you’re refreshing color, repairing damage, or sealing in deep moisture, these treatments will help you step into every event with confidence and shine.
1. Kérastase Mask: Indulgent Repair for Stressed-Out Strands
Holiday styling can leave your hair fatigued — curls loosen, ends split, and texture dulls. The Kérastase Professional Mask Treatment is pure restoration, offering the ultimate top quality hair mask NYC experience.
Unlike basic conditioners that just coat the surface, these concentrated formulas penetrate deep into the hair shaft. They rebuild the internal structure, rehydrate fiber by fiber, and restore elasticity and shine. Each mask is selected for your unique hair profile after a stylist consultation.
Why book a Kérastase mask now?
- Customized care: Each formula targets a specific concern — moisture loss, brittleness, or color fade.
- Intense repair: Strengthens hair bonds and restores smoothness from root to tip.
- Luxurious efficiency: Takes only 30 minutes, perfect for a busy holiday schedule.
- Long-lasting results: Keeps hair silky, resilient, and radiant for weeks.
Your stylist may choose from favorites like Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense for deep moisture or Kérastase Résistance Masque Force Architecte for structural repair. Both deliver visible results that elevate your entire holiday look.
Pro Tip: Extend the glow at home
For the days between salon visits, maintain your mask’s results with a few stylist-approved heroes:
- Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo — revives weakened hair and enhances elasticity.
- Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector — reinforces hair bonds to prevent post-styling breakage.
Together, they preserve your mask’s benefits while keeping your hair polished and strong through winter’s wear and tear.
2. Color Gloss or Toner: Refresh, Revive, and Reflect Light
When color loses its sparkle or tone starts to fade, a pre-holiday hair color gloss or toner is your secret weapon. Think of it as a luxury topcoat — sealing your color, boosting shine, and correcting dullness without harsh chemicals.
For blondes, a professional toner neutralizes unwanted brassiness, restoring that clean, icy tone. Brunettes and redheads benefit from a gloss that intensifies dimension and warmth. Either way, the transformation is immediate: radiant, smooth, and camera-ready hair that turns heads under every string of holiday lights.
Why book a color gloss or toner now?
- Tone perfection: Neutralizes unwanted hues for a fresh, balanced color finish.
- Color enhancement: Deepens vibrancy and creates a more luminous, “expensive” shade.
- High shine: Seals the hair’s cuticle for mirror-like gloss and light reflection.
- Gentle, low commitment: Semi-permanent, ammonia-free formulas fade softly and naturally.
This treatment is ideal before any major celebration or photoshoot. It delivers instant payoff without the downtime or stress of a full color process.
Pro Tip: Keep that gloss luminous
To extend brilliance and protect your color investment, our stylists recommend:
- Pureology Professional Color Fanatic Leave-In Spray — detangles, shields from UV damage, and adds softness.
- Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner — maintains pH balance, amplifies shine, and prevents color fade.
These two work beautifully together, preserving your gloss while keeping your hair hydrated and youthful-looking between salon visits.
3. Deep Conditioning: The Essential Winter Moisture Boost
Winter air in New York can be brutal. Cold winds and indoor heating strip natural moisture from your hair, leaving it static-prone, brittle, and difficult to manage. A salon deep conditioning winter treatment at Hair N’ Now NYC offers the perfect rescue.
Unlike lightweight at-home masks, our deep conditioning treatments use professional-grade formulations that penetrate the cortex for lasting hydration. They restore elasticity, prevent frizz, and give hair that supple, silky texture that makes every style effortless.
Why book a deep conditioning treatment now?
- Intense hydration: Replenishes essential lipids lost to cold, dry air.
- Fights static and frizz: Smooths the cuticle for sleek, manageable strands.
- Protects from styling stress: Shields against blow-dryer heat and hot tools.
- Enhances manageability: Makes hair softer, easier to brush, and less prone to breakage.
This treatment is especially beneficial before color or heat styling — it strengthens hair’s foundation so that everything you do afterward looks better and lasts longer.
Pro Tip: Preserve hydration between visits
To maintain that glossy, supple finish through winter, our stylists suggest:
- Wella Professional Fusion Intense Repair Mask — reconstructs and hydrates fragile hair after heat or chemical stress.
- Obliphica Professional Seaberry Serum — seals in moisture while adding shine and humidity resistance.
Apply these weekly or as needed to keep your hair soft, silky, and protected until your next salon appointment.
Choosing Your Perfect Pre-Holiday Treatment
Every woman’s hair tells a story — of color, heat, movement, and style. The right treatment depends on your current hair health and your seasonal goals.
Do you need intense structural repair before a big event? Are you seeking that post-blowout mirror shine? Or do you simply want to revive softness and manageability before winter settles in?
At Hair N’ Now NYC, your stylist will guide you through a personalized consultation to find your ideal match.
| Treatment | Best For… | Key Benefits | Price Estimate* |
| Kérastase Mask | Damaged or stressed hair | Deeply repairs, strengthens, restores softness | $50 |
| Color Gloss/Toner | Faded or brassy color | Enhances tone, boosts shine, enriches dimension | $50–$65 |

Prices may vary based on hair length, texture, and density.
Whichever you choose, each treatment transforms not just the look of your hair, but its health and feel. Softness returns, color glows, and styling becomes effortless — even in the toughest winter weather.
