Tampa’s Holiday Hair Guide: Looks That Turn Heads at Every Event

The holiday season in Tampa is a calendar full of celebrations, from coastal cocktail parties to rooftop dinners and family gatherings. Whether you’re headed to Hyde Park Village or meeting friends downtown, your hair should feel as refined as the rest of your look.

At Gilded Salon, we specialize in effortless, luxury color and extensions that keep you polished and confident for every occasion. Here are the styles our team is loving this season and how to make them last through every RSVP.

1. The Glossy, Dimensional Blowout

Nothing says holiday ready like a smooth, voluminous blowout. Our stylists use Oribe Supershine and the Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment to create that reflective, glass-like finish Tampa humidity can’t touch. Schedule a professional blowout before your next event and ask your stylist for at-home tips to keep your style lasting for days.

2. Lived-In Waves with a Luxe Finish

For clients with extensions, soft, textured waves are a Gilded signature. Pair them with RŌZ Santa Lucia Oil for weightless shine and frizz control that still feels natural. These waves transition easily from a daytime brunch to an evening celebration without restyling.

3. The Sleek Low Bun

When the weather calls for humidity, a low, polished bun is Tampa’s best-kept secret. It’s timeless, elegant, and easy to pair with your favorite statement earrings. Apply a touch of Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream through the ends before styling for a smooth, refined finish.

4. The Effortless Half-Up Look

Perfect for showcasing color and dimension, the half-up style is ideal for clients with or without extensions. Use a Gilded Acetate Comb to gently section and smooth your hair into place. Designed for both beauty and function, it helps maintain your style while being kind to your extensions.

5. The Classic Blowout Refresh

If your schedule is packed, book a mid-season blowout refresh. A professional blowout at Gilded Salon in South Tampa extends your style, adds shine, and keeps your look polished from one event to the next.
