Quick answer: For holiday hair, makeup, facials, nails and massage in Toms River, NJ, book in November. December evenings and Saturdays fill first. Razberris Hair, Nail & Spa at 805 Fischer Blvd offers every service in one place, and holiday gift certificates can be bought online in minutes.
The holidays are the busiest time of year in a salon. Between Friendsgiving, office parties, family photos, Hanukkah gatherings, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, almost everyone in Ocean County wants to look and feel their best within the same six weeks. At Razberris, a L'Oréal Professionnel Top 100 Salon that has served Toms River for 37 years, we see the same thing every year: guests who book in November get the dates and stylists they want, and guests who wait end up on the waitlist.
This guide is your holiday self-care game plan, covering what to book, when to book it and how to give the gift of self-care to the people you love.
When should you book holiday beauty appointments?
Book now. Here is the timeline we suggest to our guests:
| When | What to book | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-November | Holiday color, cut and gloss | Color settles and looks its best 1–2 weeks after your appointment |
| Thanksgiving week | Blowout, manicure, brows | Fresh for Friendsgiving and family photos |
| Early December | Facial, dermaplaning, massage | Skin glows for party season, and you get stress relief before the rush |
| Week of your event | Makeup, lashes, nails, spray tan | The finishing touches stay perfect for the big night |
| Late December | New Year's Eve glam | One of our most requested evenings of the year |
What hair services should you book for the holidays?
Your hair shows up in every photo. Our hair services team can refresh dimensional color, blend grays, add a shine-boosting gloss or give you a precision cut that grows out well into January. For party nights, a professional blowout or updo lasts through dinner, dancing and the drive home.
Stylist tip: Book color 7–14 days before your biggest event. That gives the tone time to settle and gives you time for a quick toner or trim if you want one.
How do you get party-ready makeup and lashes?
Holiday lighting is not forgiving. Indoor parties, flash photos and candlelight all affect how makeup looks. Our makeup artists build soft glam or full glam looks that photograph beautifully and last all night. Pair your look with lash extensions in our Lash Lounge for eyes that pop without mascara.
Which skin care treatment should you book before holiday parties?
Cold weather, indoor heat and late nights can leave skin dull and dry. A customized facial or advanced skin care treatment is the fastest way to restore hydration and glow. Book your facial at least 3–5 days before a major event so any redness has time to settle. Mark your calendar for our Botox Party on December 10. Call 732-506-0110 to reserve your spot.
Why are holiday nails worth booking early?
Holiday nails are one of the first things guests notice when you hand them a gift or raise a glass. Our nail services include manicures, pedicures and seasonal nail art, from deep berry and velvet reds to chrome and glitter French tips. Manicure appointments the week before Christmas are among the first to fill.
How can you relieve holiday stress before it starts?
Shopping, hosting and travel add up. A massage therapy session or a Japanese Head Spa ritual is self-care that lasts. Both treatments help you slow down, release tension and sleep better during the busiest month of the year.
What is the best holiday gift for someone who has everything?
A Razberris gift certificate. It works for every service: hair, nails, makeup, facials, massage, lashes, Japanese Head Spa and more. It is easy to give, and you can buy gift certificates online and email them instantly. You can also shop salon-professional hair care from Oribe, Color Wow and L'Oréal Professionnel in our online shop, shipped anywhere in the U.S. Shipping is free on orders of $150 or more.
