Lifted Salon’s Holiday Survival Guide
Can you believe how fast this year has gone? We can’t! We were so excited for Halloween, it was a blast too! All the spooky vibes, pumpkins, costumes, & in the blink of an eye. Now we have Mariah Carey about to be released from the year long snooze. Our schedules are about to become packed with social gatherings, shopping, & all other commitments we have to do in the dark.
So how do we survive? Self Care.
At Lifted Salon we strongly believe in living a fulfilling lifestyle. One of the best ways you can help yourself thrive through the Holidays is to take care of yourself.
Schedule downtime: Even on the busiest days, take care of yourself. Schedule a minimum of 15 minutes to “fill your cup”. Here are some of our stylists’ favorite daily activities we do for our self care to help us feel more lifted.
Go for a walk, (we have a great trail behind the salon)
Meditate
Get out in nature
Go to the gym or yoga
Read a Book
Play a Video Game
Craft or Cook
Lunch with a friend
Get lost in Music
Make Self Care Appointments: Schedule a hair appointment, massage, facial, yoga, float spa, or whatever that makes you feel confident, & happy. Plus, you know you have the best place in Folsom, California to unwind & get your hair done with some great people, drinks & snacks!
Be Okay Saying No: This is the time of year where if we do not say “No or not this time,” our calendars will be so full there won’t even be room for 1 & 2. As much as we want to please everyone, we can’t. It’s okay to sit one or two out. Give yourself grace.
Lastly, Enjoy the Moments: Life isn’t perfect, so your gift wrapping doesn’t have to be either. Neither does your baking, decorations, or even your hair. Just breathe, & enjoy the moments spent with loved ones, & not allow your expectations to get too out of control.
The Holidays can be the best times, or the hardest times, so give yourself & those around you some grace.
The crew here at Lifted Salon are always here for you when you want to feel your best with a new hair color or hair cut. Too tired to blow dry your hair, or even just need to escape all the madness? We got you with a refreshing escape, wash & style for special events or just because you don’t want to do it yourself!
If you need any last minute small gifts, we’re bringing in some great Davines travel mini’s & mini-self care kits! Great to add to stockings or gift baskets!
Come Get Lifted with us!
