Fall & Halloween Beauty Trends You Need to Try This Year

Tips & Trends

Halloween in Vegas isn’t just about costumes — it’s a full-on beauty event. From neon hair and metallic nails to glitter lashes and dramatic makeup looks, October is one of the most creative times of the year for stylists and beauty pros.

If you’re an independent stylist, lash artist, nail tech, esthetician, or barber working out of your own suite, now’s your moment to shine (literally). Everyone’s planning their Halloween parties, haunted nights, and themed photoshoots — and they all need someone to help them pull off that look.

Here’s what’s trending this spooky season and how to use it to fill your books and boost your brand.

1. Go Big or Go Ghoulish

This is not the month for subtle. Think bright, bold, over-the-top. Clients are more willing to play with color, sparkle, and drama in October than at any other time of the year.

For hairstylists: temporary color sprays, fiery reds, smoky blacks, and pops of neon are huge right now. Offer limited-time “Halloween Color Touch-Ups” or “Wig Styling + Install” sessions for partygoers who want to make a statement.

For nail techs: bring out the chrome, cat eyes, webs, ghosts, and deep moody tones. Metallic orange, matte black, and blood-red French tips are all over Instagram this season.

2. Lashes + Makeup That Make a Scene

Halloween is prime time for lash artists and makeup pros. Think bold shapes, feathered edges, rhinestone accents, and colored lashes. Offer a “Costume Glam” service that includes dramatic makeup and custom lash styling — perfect for clients heading to Vegas parties or themed photoshoots.

Pro tip: create a few easy reference looks — “glam witch,” “vampire glam,” “angelcore,” or “euphoria sparkle” — and post them on your social. Label them by name and tag your location (“Halloween makeup Henderson NV”) for extra local SEO boost.

3. Barbers, This Is Your Season Too

Halloween isn’t just for glam — clean fades, sharp lines, and beards with color or design work are major right now. Offer a “Halloween Refresh” package: cut, beard lineup, and optional temporary color or design.

Make sure to post your looks with the hashtags #VegasBarber and #HendersonBarber — people will be searching for barbers who can do creative designs right before parties and events.

4. Add Mini Seasonal Services

Even small themed add-ons can make your clients feel festive and increase your revenue. Try ideas like:

  • Pumpkin enzyme facials for estheticians
  • Orange-scented conditioning treatments for stylists
  • Halloween nail art upgrades for $10
  • Glitter beards or temporary color accents for barbers
  • Hydrating aftercare kits for post-Halloween recovery

These services keep things fun and on-theme without being too gimmicky.

5. Create a Spooky Suite Vibe

Decorate your Beautify suite — you don’t need to go full haunted house, but small touches go a long way. Think subtle LED lights, black-and-gold accents, mini pumpkins, or even a Halloween playlist.

Encourage clients to take selfies in your suite and tag your business — it’s effortless organic marketing that boosts visibility. You can even create a “spooky selfie corner” with a themed mirror decal or neon sign.

6. Share the Scare on Social

Your social media is your storefront, and October gives you endless content opportunities. Try these post ideas:

  • “Behind the Chair” time-lapse of a Halloween transformation
  • Product lineup for your favorite spooky-season looks
  • Quick reel showing a lash-to-glam or before-and-after nail design
  • A “Which Halloween Look Are You?” quiz-style caption with emojis
  • Costume tutorials or makeup inspo for clients to save and share

Use hashtags like #VegasHalloween, #HendersonHair, #HalloweenLashes, #SpookySeasonBeauty, and #BeautifySuites to expand your reach.

7. Host a Halloween Giveaway or Mini Event

Nothing grabs attention like a seasonal giveaway. Offer a free add-on service, small gift basket, or future discount for anyone who tags your business in a Halloween post or story.

You can even host a mini open house or “Beauty & Boo’s” night in your suite with neighboring stylists at Beautify. Serve snacks, offer flash deals, and make it a fun, social event.

Community events not only bring in new clients but also strengthen your local visibility — which helps with search ranking, too.

8. Keep the Momentum Going

After Halloween, everyone’s getting ready for holiday photos, parties, and winter glam. Keep your audience warm by teasing your next round of promos — “Holiday Hair,” “Winter Glow-Up,” or “New Year, New You” specials.

The key is consistency. If clients book with you for Halloween, remind them to come back for their next seasonal refresh.
