The best appointments of the new year are claimed long before January arrives. The guests who book first choose their stylist, their day and their time. Everyone else takes what is left.
This November and December, Shear Excellence rewards the guests who plan ahead. Pre-book your January and February 2027 visits and you will be entered to win a free head spa treatment, valued at $159. It is the most requested relaxation service we offer, and the most sought-after head spa in Rantoul, IL.

How the Pre-Book Promotion Works

The process takes less time than your next coffee order.
  1. Book any January or February 2027 visit between now and December 31, 2026. Hair, spa, lash, brow, BodiBronze: every service counts.
  2. You are automatically entered to win a free head spa treatment ($159 value).
  3. We contact the winner directly. Keep an eye on your phone and inbox in the new year.
You can book online in minutes, call us at (217) 893-3850, or simply ask your provider to schedule your next visits before you leave the chair.

Why Pre-Booking Is the Smart Move for Winter

January and February are two of our most in-demand months. New Year refreshes, Valentine’s Day plans and post-holiday color corrections all compete for the same evening and Sunday slots. Pre-booking puts you at the front of that line.
  • First choice of provider and time. Your preferred stylist’s calendar fills fastest. Booking now secures the times that fit your schedule, not the ones left over.
  • Results stay on schedule. Color, cuts and extensions look their best when maintenance happens on time. A standing appointment keeps your look polished through the season.
  • Winter care, planned in advance. Dry indoor heat, hats and cold wind take a toll on hair and scalp. Scheduling a luxury hair treatment alongside your regular visits keeps dryness in check before it shows.
  • One decision, done. Two months of self-care settled in one conversation. That is time back in your week.

Why a Head Spa Is Worth Winning

A head spa is a Japanese-inspired scalp therapy that cleanses, nourishes and restores the scalp, the foundation of healthy hair. At Shear Excellence, the experience may include a scalp detox, steam therapy, aromatherapy oils, a slow pressure-point massage and a nourishing treatment matched to your scalp’s needs.
In winter, it does more than relax you. A head spa helps:
  • Clear the buildup that heavier winter products leave behind
  • Rehydrate a scalp dried out by indoor heating
  • Ease the tension that the holiday season tends to leave in your neck and shoulders
  • Leave hair lighter, shinier and easier to style for days afterward
Curious what happens once you are in the chair? Our step-by-step guide, What Actually Happens During a Head Spa Treatment?, walks through every stage, from consultation to final rinse.

Make the Most of Your Winter Visits

While you are pre-booking, consider building a full winter routine around your appointments.
  • Head spa plus a blowout. Head spa services do not include a blow-dry finish. If you want to leave styled, add a blowout or style as a separate booking with a licensed stylist.
  • Hair treatment add-on. Our luxury treatments start at $19 and can be added to any service.
  • A winter facial. Pair scalp care with a seasonal facial or Hydrafacial to bring skin back from the cold.
