Party Season Hair: The Looks We’re Loving at mcIntyres

The party season is officially here, which means it’s time for statement hair.

Whether you’re heading to festive dinners, work nights out, big celebrations or New Year’s Eve plans, this is the moment to turn up the glamour and have a bit of fun with your look. At McIntyres, we’re all about hair that feels elevated but effortless, personalised to you, and finished with that salon worthy shine.

Here are the trends we’re loving right now…

Big Bouncy Blow Dry

The return of real glamour. Think volume, movement and that “just stepped out of the salon” confidence. Perfect for party dresses, long lunches, or when you simply want to feel amazing. Big blow dries are all about technique and product support, and our stylists will tailor the finish so it holds beautifully into the night!

Soft Lived In Waves

The classic. Think gentle, undone waves with movement and polish. It’s glamorous without trying too hard. Perfect if your outfit is doing the talking, or if you just want to feel like the best version of yourself. We often pair this look with shine sprays and light oils to keep everything glossy without flattening the hair.

Sleek and Chic

Straight hair is having a moment, but not the flat, heavy kind. We’re talking smooth lengths, lustre and a sharp finish. A glass like shine can look incredibly modern, especially when partnered with a simple middle parting. The key is prep: we’ll help choose the right heat protection and smoothing products so it lasts all night.

The Power Pony

A ponytail can be one of the most glamorous looks going with the right finish. High and playful, low and luxe, wrapped in your own hair or paired with accessories. Sleek roots with textured lengths gives that contrast everyone loves just now.

The Power Up-Do

Think soft twists, sculpted buns or French twists that feel relaxed rather than rigid. Party up-dos are back but they’re looser, more textured, more cool girl than prom queen. Great for dresses with strong necklines or statement earrings.

Party Pammy Up-Do

Think 90s bombshell energy with a modern twist. A lifted crown, soft face-framing pieces and a relaxed, tousled texture. It’s feminine, glamorous and feels like you just walked off a red carpet. A brilliant choice if you’re wearing something with a strong neckline.

Hair Accessories That Do the Work

Shiny, hydrated hair will always look more luxe. If your hair’s feeling a little tired after colour, heat or weather changes, now is the perfect time to book a treatment with your styling appointment. We’ll recommend the best approach based on your hair’s needs, whether that’s moisture, repair or smoothing.
