Bridesmaids & Besties: Planning Holiday Party Hair for Your Crew

MN NAF! Salon • December 17, 2025

There’s nothing quite like celebrating the holiday season in Minneapolis with your favorite people—bridesmaids, best friends, or chosen family. From festive brunches to cozy cocktail parties, this time of year is packed with reasons to get dolled up and make memories together. For many, planning matching or coordinated hair adds an extra touch of excitement and unity to those memorable nights. At MN NAF!, we’re experts in bringing group hair styling visions to life, ensuring every Minneapolis crew feels their most fabulous for every gathering.


Why Plan Group Hair Styling for Holiday Parties?


The best celebrations are shared, and planning your holiday looks as a group has benefits that go beyond great photos. With professional salon group bookings, you can:


- Reduce stress on party day

- Enjoy a luxury experience together

- Ensure consistently beautiful, personalized hairstyles for every member


Whether you’re a maid of honor organizing a winter bachelorette, a friend squad prepping for a “Friendsmas,” or just want to look your best in every selfie, group hair services at MN NAF! are your ticket to show-stopping results.


Trending Holiday Hairstyles for Groups in Minneapolis


Every party crew has its own unique vibe, and your hair should reflect that. Here are some of the top party hair trends the MN NAF! team recommends for 2025’s holiday season:


Classic Curls and Waves


For a timeless, cohesive look, soft curls and beachy waves are always a hit. They flatter every face shape and suit a wide range of hair lengths.


Half-Up Half-Down Styles


Add a bit of festive flair with a half-up look, incorporating braid accents or sparkling pins for extra style.


Sleek Ponytails and Topknots


Sleek ponytails and high topknots are chic, practical, and perfect for dancing the night away.


Statement Accessories


Coordinate metallic clips, velvet bows, or rhinestone headbands for an on-trend, holiday-ready finish.
