As our diaries start to fill up with Christmas parties, festive drinks, and visits to friends and family, you might be wondering when you'll find the time for your regular beauty treatments.
Fresha discovered that Google searches for "nail appointments near me" surged by 700% from the end of November to the beginning of December in 2023, leading to a flurry of bookings, with some people likely missing out.
Chatting to beauty booking platform, nail technician Eva Benjamin from EJB Nails revealed how crucial it is to book your nail appointment as soon as Christmas slots become available.
Reflecting on last year, Eva shared: "My December was fully booked by the end of October!
"I often get my regular clients as well as people booking for one off Christmas nails, so you're competing with twice as many clients for an appointment."
Eva suggests booking your appointment between the 12th and the 18th of December to ensure your nails look fresh for all your festive events, reports the Mirror.
And if you want your manicure to last throughout the Christmas season, even until New Year's, Eva advises against using your nails as tools.
To keep your nails looking pristine, avoid using them to peel stickers off Christmas presents or untangle fairy lights. Also, it's vital to wear gloves when cleaning and washing up, as this will help maintain and protect the shine on your nails.
