Festival Ready: Your 2026 GRWM Guide to SummerFest

From radiant skin to frizz-free hairstyles, discover how Neroli can help you create the ultimate Summerfest look with professional spa, hair, and beauty services.

It is officially summer festival season, and Summerfest is right around the corner. Full of music, food, friends, and lakefront views, it is time to start thinking about how you are going to prep for the long, exciting day. From picking your hairstyle to the color of your eyeshadow, there are a lot of components that come together to create your look for the day. Whether you are going for an effortless glow or full festival glam, Neroli Spa can help this day be more stress-free and help you enjoy your festival experience. 

Be Spa Prepped Before the Big Day

The prep for the festival begins before the actual event day. To start the day refreshed and ready, get spa ready first! Professional facials and body treatments prep your skin and body for the long makeup look and a whole day on your feet. 

By getting a facial ahead of the festival you get a deep cleanse and restore moisture. This creates a smooth base for makeup, allowing you to have a non-cakey makeup look that can last for the heat and sweat.  Summerfest is midsummer; that means sweat, sunscreen buildup, and the need for long wear makeup. At Neroli, the facials will restore moisture and strengthen your skin barrier. This way you go into the day with clearer skin and ready for the application of products.  

Vitmain C Facial

A facial that can help prep your skin for Summerfest is the Vitamin C Facial. This reduces dullness and creates a more even complexion, perfect before applying foundation and other heavy makeup. Additionally, Vitamin C is beneficial in protecting the skin from environmental factors such as UV exposure (which is almost unavoidable during a summer event).  

Dermaplaning

Another great treatment is Dermaplaning. This service removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz on the face, which can help reduce patchiness and create a more airbrushed makeup finish. The treatment turns your face into that perfect blank canvas for your festival makeup look. Also consider lash lifts, brow shaping and tinting services to also save time on your makeup routine the day of. Altogether, pre-festival facial prep will save you time during the event day because prepped healthy skin will not need as many touch ups throughout the day.  

Body Treatments

Don’t forget to prep your body so you can feel relaxed before the event. Festivals are fun, but all the planning can be stressful. Start the day feeling refreshed with Neroli’s full-body treatments, such as the Salt Elixir or the Signature Half-Arm Body Sculpting Enhancement HydraFacial.

The mineral-rich salts in the Salt Elixir can help reduce puffiness and water retention, leaving your body feeling lighter and more refreshed. The Signature treatment helps detoxify the body while improving skin firmness for a more contoured appearance. Together, these treatments can leave your skin smoother, more radiant, and glowing, helping you look and feel your best in your festival outfits.

 

Scheduling a spa treatment before the festival allows you to enjoy the getting-ready process with your friends before a day filled with music, food, and fun. Well-moisturized skin can appear plumper and help create that trendy festival glow while keeping your complexion looking fresh and radiant throughout the day.

Tapping into this summer’s festival trends

Wondering what to do with your hair and makeup? Take a look at the top Summer 2026 festival trends: natural bases, expressive details, and more lived-in hairstyles. 

As seen at festivals that have already taken place this season, we’re seeing softer glam bases paired with color-packed eye looks. Starting with a sun-drenched, dewy complexion, complemented by a hydrating facial, this summer’s festival beauty trends are all about sun-kissed skin and faux sunburn blush. Then, make the look your own with monochromatic shadows that create an almost mermaid-inspired makeup effect. Finish it off with a setting spray for a makeup look that lasts all day. 

Neroli Hair Treatments to achieve that lasting style

For your hair, we’re keeping it simple. After spending hours in the heat and moving from stage to stage, you want a look that is low-maintenance and effortlessly stylish. Think beach waves, half-up, half-down hairstyles, and hair jewelry. These heatless textures and glossy finishes pair perfectly with this summer’s haircut and color trends. 

For haircuts, think sculpted shapes combined with invisible layers. Popular colors for the season include caramel highlights, suede browns, copper rose, and burnt sienna. These chic, long-lasting shades can carry you through the rest of the summer.

The best way to achieve long-lasting, anti-frizz hairstyles for a hot, humid festival day is to book a session with Neroli. A simple blowout or thermal styling service can help you achieve the perfect Summerfest hairstyle that lasts through all the movement and excitement of the day.
