Step 1: Prep for the Party – Hair Health & Colour Before the 31st
The most trending New Year’s Eve hairstyles look their best on hair that feels healthy, glossy and manageable. In the last two weeks of December, consider visiting Myrah Santacruz for:
- Hair Cut & Hair Styling consultation – to shape your hair for ponytails, waves, sleek bobs or glamorous blowouts.
- Global Hair Colour or Ammonia Free Global Hair Colour – to refresh your base shade for richer, more polished tones.
- Highlights or Balayage – for dimension that shows beautifully under party lights.
To protect your hair’s integrity, pair colour and cut services with strengthening rituals from the Davines Treatments range, or advanced care such as OLAPLEX and K18 (as recommended in-salon). This pre-party preparation ensures that your New Year’s Eve styling is smoother, shinier and longer lasting.
Trending New Year’s Eve Hairstyles for 2025-2026
1. Glass Hair & Sleek Blowouts
High-shine, perfectly polished hair is one of the strongest New Year’s Eve hair trends heading into 2026. Think:
- Clean, sharp blowouts with smooth ends.
- Chic, straight hair with a mirror-like finish.
- Side or centre partings that frame the face gracefully.
At MYRAH Santacruz, this look is created using:
- Wash & Blowdry for sleek volume and movement.
- Flat Iron Dry for ultra-smooth, glass-like texture.
Add subtle Global Hair Colour or tone-on-tone gloss beforehand for extra radiance. You can explore all styling options on the Hair Care.
2. Lived-In Waves & Party Curls
Soft, undone waves and glamorous curls continue to be a favourite for celebration nights. They pair effortlessly with:
- Sequinned dresses and jumpsuits.
- Classic black outfits that need a touch of movement.
- Fusion wear or Indo-western looks.
For this trend, MYRAH stylists often recommend:
- Wash & Tongs – for defined curls or loose, beachy waves.
- Wash & Blowdry followed by styling – for soft, bouncy volume.
This style looks especially stunning on hair enhanced with Balayage or Highlights, as the light catches different tones with every movement.
3. Elevated Ponytails & Half-Up Styles
For guests who prefer hair away from the face while still looking elegant, elevated ponytails and half-up styles are trending for 2025-2026:
- Sleek high ponies with a polished finish.
- Soft, mid-height ponies with wrapped hair ties and gentle waves.
- Half-up, half-down styles with volume at the crown and curls at the ends.
These looks are ideal if you plan to dance through the night and want your style to stay comfortable and refined in Mumbai’s mild humidity.
4. Refined Men’s Styling for New Year’s Eve
For men, the Men’s salon services menu at MYRAH Santacruz includes:
- Men’s Hair Cut & Men’s Blow Dry – for clean, structured silhouettes.
- Men’s Global Hair Colour & Men’s Highlights – for subtle refinement or a sharper statement.
- Men’s Beard – shaping, definition and grooming for a polished finish.
These services are perfect for New Year’s Eve dinners, parties and couple photos, ensuring the overall look feels cohesive and celebration-ready.
New Year’s Eve Makeup Trends for 2025-2026
Makeup at MYRAH Santacruz is always customised and offered on consultation via the Luxury Salon Makeup menu. For the 2025-2026 countdown, key trends include:
1. Luminous, Soft-Focus Skin
Instead of heavy, mask-like bases, 2026 is all about skin that looks:
- Even-toned yet natural.
- Softly illuminated with strategic highlight.
- Comfortable enough to wear all evening.
MYRAH’s makeup artists work with your skin type and preferences to create New Year’s Eve makeup in Mumbai that lasts through heat, dancing and late nights – without feeling heavy.
2. Statement Eyes: Smoked, Lined & Glossed
From classic black smudged liners to shimmering metallic lids, eyes take centre stage:
- Soft brown or bronze smokey eyes for timeless glamour.
- Graphic liner or winged eyeliner for a more editorial mood.
- Subtle shimmer or glitter accents for festive sparkle under party lighting.
Your chosen eye look is balanced with brows, lashes and lips so the overall effect remains harmonious and flattering in photographs.
3. Lips: Velvet Reds, Berries & Polished Nudes
For lips, trending New Year’s shades include:
- Classic red – bold yet elegant when paired with softly defined eyes.
- Deep berries and wines – sophisticated for evening events.
- Polished nudes – ideal if your eyes or outfit are already statement pieces.
Your artist at MYRAH Santacruz will help you choose shades that complement your undertone, hair colour and outfit palette for a cohesive celebration look.
Essential Grooming: Brows, Skin & Hands for New Year’s Eve
Beauty Grooming for a Clean Canvas
A truly polished New Year’s Eve look goes beyond hair and makeup. From the Premium Beauty Salon in Mumbai menu, it’s worth scheduling:
- Threading for brows and facial grooming.
- Waxing for arms, legs and key areas as required.
- Bleach where suitable, based on skin type and routine.
Aim to complete these services a few days before New Year’s Eve so your skin is calm and ready for makeup.
Hands & Feet Ready for Midnight
Your hands will appear in clinking-glass photos, hugs and countdown videos – so nails deserve attention too. The Hands and Feet Care category includes:
- Basic or Luxury Manicure & Pedicure – for smooth skin and neatly shaped nails.
- Basic Cut, File, and Polish – ideal for a quick yet refined finish.
- French Cut, File, and Polish – timeless and elegant for all outfits.
- Gel Polish – long-wear shine that lasts from New Year’s Eve into the first weeks of January.
Choose classic reds, deep plums, metallics or soft nudes to complement your jewellery and outfit.
