Power brows are out – so it’s all about hair and nails: tips and tricks to get you party ready in time for the holiday season, and 2020

With less than six weeks until Christmas and the new year, and probably less than three weeks until holiday parties begin, now is the time to take a good look in the mirror and start thinking of ways to make a positive impact at that office Christmas party – and not in a bad, Bridget Jones kind of way.

Sioban Guilfoyle, director of Glow Spa in Central, has a few tips to share – and we are definitely listening. Her spa and salon space spans 4,400 sq ft and offers total pampering, from head to toe – literally. Oh, and your tummy will be well taken care of, too.

“[At the bar], we make sure our clients are well cared for. We’ve been offering home-made biscuits and banana cake for almost as long as we’ve been in operation. We’re probably as well known for our sweets as our services!”

But I digress – this story is about looking great, not great food.

There are few things worse than turning up at the party in an old, tattered gown, but two really awful mistakes are having eyebrows that are not on fleek and hair that is just crying out for a good wash and colour (the latter is an absolute disaster).

Hair and brows

“Power brows are probably on the way out as we head into 2020,” Guilfoyle says. “More natural-looking brows and brow shapes are likely the next look as this aligns well with a less-is-more trend that’s still gathering steam. Following from the trajectory of brows, lashes are likely to be softer and less overly dramatic. Lash lifting coupled with keratin treatments are the new big thing for lashes.”
