Holiday Beauty Checklist: Be Party-Ready from Head to Toe

Whether you’re attending a family get-together, work event, or snapping pics for this year’s holiday card, one thing’s for sure: you’ll want to look and feel your best.

That’s where Shear Excellence comes in. As the best salon in Rantoul, we’re here to help you glow, sculpt, and sparkle—head to toe. Here’s your ultimate holiday beauty checklist.

Nothing says “holiday-ready” like smooth, styled hair. A professional blowout adds polish to any look, and it lasts far longer than doing it yourself.

We tailor every blowout to your hair type, desired volume, and event style. Pair it with a trim or shine treatment for an added boost.

Brows frame your face and bring the whole look together. Our custom brow shaping services are designed to enhance your natural beauty without overdoing it.

Whether you want a clean-up or a total reshape, we use techniques that flatter your face shape—no cookie-cutter arches here.

Say goodbye to heavy mascara and hello to beautifully lifted lashes. A lash lift gives your eyes that wide-awake, fluttery look that’s perfect for holiday photos.

It’s a low-maintenance service that lasts 6–8 weeks, so you’ll be set well into the new year.

Cold weather and holiday stress can do a number on your skin. Our custom facials near Urbana IL are designed to hydrate, brighten, and refresh—so you’re glowing from within.

Book one a few days before your event for maximum radiance (and relaxation).

Ask your stylist or esthetician for product recs based on your hair and skin goals. We offer salon-quality shampoos, conditioners, masks, and skincare items that extend the life of your service at home.
