With the holiday party season now in full swing, Sassoon Salon San Francisco Senior Creative Director Elizabeth Hartley has some sure-fire tips for soiree-ready hair. And for some extra help making the holiday season stylish and bright, Sassoon is offering exclusive savings on holiday gift card packages, starting at just $105!

Tip #1: Wet hair and cold weather are not a jolly combination. Going outside with wet locks makes them more susceptible to breakage. Ensure your hair is thoroughly dry before facing the cold weather.  For an extra layer of protection and to tame static and frizz, try using one of the new Kérastase Elixirs targeting four different hair types ($54) before drying your mane.

Tip #2: Shampoo and condition long locks at night and let them dry naturally before sleeping. This will help hair settle overnight and in the morning you can simply apply product and flat iron. It's a great way to treat your hair more gently when you’ll be walking in a winter wonderland.

Tip #3: Shiny, healthy hair is on everyone’s wish list! Give your hair some extra TLC with a dose of deep conditioning. A Kérastase Fusio-Dose In-Salon Ritual ($30) – which includes a customizable booster shot for each client’s specific hair needs – is sure to leave your locks looking fabulous.

Now you can give the gift of beautiful hair this season and beyond to someone special on your list with one of the exclusive Sassoon holiday gift card packages. The Ladies Luxury Holiday Package, for example, includes a haircut, highlights, Kérastase Fusio-Dose In-Salon Ritual and blow-dry service for $285 (regularly $340).
