Winter Nail Trends and Care for a Busy December

Hands do more in December than any other month. They wrap gifts, prepare meals, decorate homes, carry shopping bags, and welcome family. It is no surprise that many guests look forward to a winter manicure because it feels like a reward for all the work their hands do behind the scenes.

Color That Complements the Season

Winter brings its own understated palette. Deep wines, modern neutrals, soft shimmer, and classic reds all feel right at home during holiday gatherings. Some clients prefer festive elegance while others want simplicity for a clean, polished look. Our nail professionals can help you choose shades and finishes that match your style and your plans for the month.

Hydration Matters More Than Ever

Footlogix Product

Cold air dries both nails and cuticles, making hands look tired quickly. A structured manicure with targeted hydration helps nails stay smooth and resilient. At home, a nourishing cuticle oil or rich hand cream keeps the results lasting longer and prevents winter roughness.

Why Busy Clients Love Dazzle Dry

Dazzle Dry has become a favorite for this time of year because it dries quickly and performs beautifully. Many December schedules do not allow time for long services or extended drying periods. Dazzle Dry gives you durable color with a fast finish, which makes it ideal for the holiday shopper, the parent juggling events, or anyone moving through the season at full speed.

A Moment That Feels Good and Looks Good

Manicures

A manicure is more than a cosmetic choice. It is a small ritual that helps you feel polished and put together before photos, gatherings, or special events. When your hands look refreshed, you feel more confident in the moments when everyone is capturing memories.

A Simple Gift That Always Fits

Kenneth's Gift Card

A Kenneth’s gift card or a curated bundle of hand care essentials is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for someone who works hard all year. It is personal, practical, and always well received.

Give your hands the care they deserve this season. You use them for so much. Let us help them look and feel their best.

Karen Geist
I recently had my hair cut with Molly and I am very happy with the result. She took the time to advise me on how to make changes now to best grow into a new style that I want. The final result was very close to the picture that I brought in to show to my stylist. I loved the fact that Molly didn't talk while she was at work cutting my hair. She only asked pertinent questions regarding my desires and answered all questions that I had for her. The one question that I did ask her was how much longer did she have at the Academy, and she replied that she would continue through the end of October. So quick, book an appointment now at the Academy, or visit her when she becomes part of the team at the Kingsdale location Nov 1. I know that's where I will be going for my next haircut. Thanks Molly!
