Christmas Hairstyles That Hold Up From the Office Party to Christmas Day

By Diwash Shrestha | For Clients, Self-Care Tips

The best festive hairstyles match your hair length and the event: a sleek low bun or soft waves for the work do, a loose braid for Christmas Day and a polished updo or glam waves for New Year's Eve (NYE). Add a cold, damp December to the mix, with hats, scarves and dry heating, and a good style also needs to beat static, rain and hat hair. A festive hairstyle has to survive three coats, a scarf and a cracker hat. If you'd rather not wrestle a curling iron while the sprouts boil over, a local stylist can come to your home for a blow dry or an updo.

Gel keeps any of them looking sharp from the first card to New Year's Eve, and because most nail salons shut on Christmas Day, a nail technician can come to your home instead. Christmas nails have to survive wrapping paper, mulled wine and the great glove hunt.

What's the Best Type of Massage to Get as a Couple?

By Diwash Shrestha | For Clients, Self-Care Tips

The best massage for couples is usually Swedish, because the pressure adjusts for each person and neither of you has to agree on how hard is hard. Deep tissue, hot stone, Thai and aromatherapy each suit a different kind of pair, though, and the right pick depends on what the two of you actually want from the hour. Here's which one suits two people, and why, so you can choose in about five minutes and stop doing the "I don't mind" dance. If you haven't had a couples massage before, it helps to know that each of you has your own therapist, so pressure and pace can differ even when the style is the same.

What Is the Etiquette for a Couples Massage?

By Diwash Shrestha | For Clients, Self-Care Tips

By Blys | For Clients, Guides, Self-Care Tips

As December approaches, workloads peak, social plans pile up, and sleep routines slip. This constant pressure keeps cortisol levels high, which research links to tighter muscles, restless sleep, and overall fatigue.
