The Best Blowout & Styling Tips for Surviving Holiday Humidity in Atlanta

Holiday Blowouts in Atlanta - Expert Advice From Barron’s London Salon

Holiday parties, family gatherings, and New Year’s celebrations are right around the corner — and if you live in Atlanta, you know winter humidity can be just as unpredictable as summer. That means frizz, limp curls, fallen waves, and styles that don’t last as long as you hoped. But it doesn’t have to be that way....Barron's London Salon's holiday blowouts in Atlanta help combat that.

At Barron’s London Salon in Buckhead, our stylists are known for creating smooth, long-lasting blowouts and humidity-resistant styles that stay sleek, shiny, and polished — even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Here are our top professional tips to keep your hair looking flawless throughout the holiday season.

1. Start With a Proper Foundation: Clean, Prepped Hair

Great hair starts before the blowout.

A professional washing routine creates the perfect foundation for a frizz-free finish:

• Use a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup before styling.
• Follow with a lightweight moisturizing conditioner so hair stays smooth, not flat.
• Add a heat protectant to shield from hot tools and seal the cuticle.

Our stylists often recommend products from our online store that balance hydration while keeping frizz at bay.

2. The Power of a Professional Blowout

A Barron’s blowout isn’t just a style — it’s a technique.

Our stylists use:

• Controlled tension to smooth the cuticle
• High-quality round brushes for ultimate shine
• Sectioning that ensures the hair dries completely (a must for fighting humidity)

Why does this matter?

Humidity makes partially damp hair frizz faster. A fully smoothed, fully dried blowout lasts significantly longer.

️ 3. Add a Keratin or CHI Straightening Treatment for Extra Protection

If you want your hair to stay sleek through the holidays, you might consider a smoothing treatment before the rush.

Keratin Treatments:

• Reduce frizz
• Improve shine
• Shorten drying time
• Last up to 16 weeks

CHI Straightening Treatment:

• A long-lasting straightening treatment
• Not a keratin — it actually restructures the curl
• Ideal for clients wanting straight, silky, humidity-resistant hair

4. Use Anti-Humidity Styling Products Wisely

A few professional anti-humidity hair product go-tos include:

• Humidity-blocking serums
• Smoothing creams
• Flexible hold hairsprays
• Finishing oils and sprays for shine without weight

5. Choose a Holiday Style Designed to Withstand Humidity

Some styles simply hold up better in Atlanta’s unpredictable weather. Try:

• Sleek ponytails
• Braided crowns
• Textured bunsSoft waves with flexible hold
• Protective styles for curly or textured hair

And of course, a signature Barron’s blowout always photographs beautifully for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve.

6. Book Your Appointments at the Right Time

To keep your hair looking perfect through multiple holiday events:

• Schedule color or highlights 2–3 weeks before your busiest week
• Book a blowout 1–2 days before a major event
• Add a toner or gloss for extra shine and frizz control
