You may be swamped with clients at the salon this time of year, but luckily, selling holiday retail doesn’t require tons of extra time or legwork—your clients are looking for things to buy, and they trust your recommendations!

Whether you’re looking to stock some festive gift sets or the year’s most popular products, you’ll find something your clients and their loved ones will love in this comprehensive holiday retail guide.

All About Curls

For the curl queens, this starter kit is the perfect lineup to ensure an amazing curl day. Easy to stock and easy to grab at checkout, it makes the perfect gift for clients with curly-haired loved ones of any age. This set features:

• No-Lather Cleanser: Wet curls. Apply generously and massage thoroughly into scalp. Rinse well, allowing water to move cleanser through curls and ends. 
• Daily Cream Conditioner: Wet curls. Apply generously, using fingers to gently detangle to ends. Rinse.
• High-Definition Gel: Apply generously into palms and work through wet hair, scrunching upward. Squeeze any excess water out and air dry or diffuse-don't touch! Once dry, use hands to shake root area, and lightly scrunch to soften.
• Bouncy Cream: Pump generously into palms and scrunch upward into wet curls and roots. For an extra boost, scrunch, hold and release.
