December is the busiest month of the year for hair salons, barbers, nail bars, and beauty studios. Clients want to look their best for parties and family photos, and appointments fill quickly. A clear holiday hours sign helps clients plan and encourages them to book early. This US Letter template has a soft blush background framed by two thin rose gold borders, gold sparkles in the corners, and a pair of rose scissors at the top. Holiday Hours appears in elegant italic Playfair Display, followed by the salon name in spaced capitals, a gold divider, and seven rows of hours with closed days in rose. A pill at the bottom says BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY GLAM EARLY, with the salon phone number and website underneath.
Why Salons Need Holiday Hours Signs
Salon schedules often expand before Christmas, with late evenings and early mornings, then contract during the holiday itself. Clients who know these hours in advance can book the slot that suits them, and stylists avoid a rush of last-minute requests. A beautiful sign at the reception desk also reflects the care and style clients expect from your salon.
The Blush and Rose Gold Style
Blush pink, deep burgundy text, and rose gold details create a feminine, upscale look that suits beauty businesses. The double border frames the page like an invitation, while the scissors make the salon theme clear at a glance. The italic serif title adds glamour, and the clean rows keep the information practical.
Editing the Salon Hours
The sample lists extended hours on December 21 to 23, a short Christmas Eve, a closure from December 25 to 27, an early close on New Year’s Eve, and a closed New Year’s Day. Click any row to change the day or hours. Rows use Lora for days and Montserrat for times, and the closed days are highlighted in rose.
Encouraging Early Bookings
The rose pill, BOOK YOUR HOLIDAY GLAM EARLY, turns the sign into a gentle marketing message. You could change it to BOOK ONLINE ANYTIME, LIMITED HOLIDAY SLOTS, or GIFT CARDS AVAILABLE. Add your booking link or phone number underneath so clients can act immediately.
Salon Gift Cards for the Holidays
Gift cards are one of the most popular presents during the holidays. Mention them on the sign or on a second sign near the till. Our site also offers gift certificate templates that match many salon styles, so you can create printed gift cards to sell alongside your holiday hours.
Changing the Salon Name and Icon
Click the salon name to replace it. The scissors icon can be swapped for a comb, a nail polish bottle, or a flower from the Elements panel, then recoloured in rose. Barbershops may prefer a darker version: change the blush background to charcoal and the rose details to copper.
Displaying the Sign in Your Salon
Place the sign at the reception desk, on the entrance door and beside each styling station mirror, where clients sit for long periods and have time to read. Add the same information to your booking app, website, and social pages.
Printing an Elegant Salon Sign
Download a PDF and print on US Letter card stock with a matte or silk finish. A thicker card looks premium in an acrylic frame. Print a few smaller copies at half size for the stations.
Sharing Salon Hours Online
Export the sign as a PNG and post it on Instagram and Facebook, where many salon clients follow their stylists. The blush colours look beautiful in a feed of hair transformations and festive styles.
Planning Salon Staff Schedules
Before posting your hours, confirm who works each extended shift and plan breaks so stylists are not exhausted on Christmas Eve. Many salons close for a few days after Christmas to give the team a rest, which is reflected in the sample schedule.
Holiday Hours for Nail and Beauty Studios
Nail bars, brow studios, spas, and makeup artists face the same December rush. Change the scissors to a nail polish bottle or a flower, update the salon name, and list your treatments in the booking line. The elegant style suits any beauty business.
Reminding Clients About Cancellations
Holiday slots are precious, and late cancellations hurt small salons. Add a short reminder to your booking confirmations or a small line on the sign asking clients to give 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel, so another client can take the slot.
Salon Holiday Packages and Offers
Many salons create festive packages in December, such as a blow dry and manicure for party season or a gift set of hair products. Mention one package on a second sign in the same blush style, placed beside this hours sign at the reception desk. Clients who come in to check the hours often leave with a booking or a gift.
Salon Holiday Hours Questions
Can I change the colours to black and gold?
Yes. Change the background, borders, and text colours to suit your brand.
Can I add more rows?
Yes. Duplicate a row and its divider, then move them into place.
Can I add our logo?
Yes. Insert a frame and use Replace Image to upload the salon logo.
Holiday Hours for Barbershops
Barbershops see a similar rush as clients want a fresh cut before family gatherings and work parties. A barbershop version might use a charcoal background, copper borders, and a straight razor or comb icon, with rows showing walk-in hours and appointment-only days. Mention whether the shop accepts walk-ins on Christmas Eve, since many barbers switch to appointments only on their busiest days.
Thanking Salon Clients at Year End
The holiday sign is also a chance to thank loyal clients. A small line such as thank you for trusting us with your hair this year adds warmth. Some salons include a discount code for January bookings, when appointments are quieter, to encourage repeat visits after the holidays.
