Stylist-Approved Holiday Hair Must-Haves!

Summer holidays are the perfect time to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy some well-earned self-care. Whether you're jetting off to a tropical paradise or planning a relaxing staycation, looking and feeling your best is easy, especially when you can grab a late deal at Cutting Club! From haircuts to colouring and highlights, enjoy big discounts on a range of your favourite services while you prep for your getaway. But what about your hair once you’re on holiday?

Taking the time to protect your hair, just as you would your skin, means you’ll come home looking and feeling as fresh as you did when you left.

Get your hair holiday ready. Our talented stylists have handpicked their top haircare products to keep your locks looking gorgeous, no matter the destination. Here’s what they swear by:

Bonnie’s Pick: 24/7 Night & Day Surem

“For me, holidays always bring on the frizz. As soon as my hair hits humid air, it reacts instantly, becoming dry, fluffy, and hard to manage. That’s why the 24/7 Night & Day Surem is my ultimate summer companion. It softens my hair and smooths out that unwanted texture, so I don't have to do much styling while I'm away. I love that it works on both wet and dry hair, making it a fuss-free fix that keeps me looking polished with minimal effort.”

Jolene’s Pick: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

“Frizz and dryness are constant challenges for me on holiday, especially with the humidity. Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum helps smooth my hair and adds a lovely shine. I apply it to damp hair before blow-drying for a sleek finish, and then use a tiny bit on dry hair to tame any frizz during the day. It’s a reliable all-rounder that keeps my hair looking and feeling healthy no matter where I am.”

Dawn’s Pick: Redken 5 Minute Liquid Mask

“This is my hero product. I absolutely love it! The Redken 5 Minute Liquid Mask is a game-changer when my hair needs strengthening, detangling, and a bit of TLC all at once. It works so quickly and leaves my hair feeling silky and renewed. It's ideal for all hair types and fits easily into any travel routine—it’s my must-pack treatment for a mid-holiday refresh.”

Amelia’s Pick: Schwarzkopf Light Oil

“This one never leaves my travel bag. The Schwarzkopf Light Oil is fast-absorbing, with a non-greasy texture that works wonders on dry or damaged hair. It’s especially useful if you use heat tools while you’re away, as it provides impressive protection up to 230°C. A little goes a long way too—I’ve had half a bottle last me ten months! It’s perfectly sized for carry-on luggage, which makes it super convenient for holidays.”

While these picks cover a range of needs and hair types, the best way to know what’s right for you is to ask. Our dedicated team is always happy to recommend products tailored to your hair type, your styling habits, and even the destination you’re travelling to.
