As summer winds down and school schedules begin filling up, it's the perfect time to hit the reset button—not just for your family, but for yourself. Whether you're a teacher preparing for a new classroom, a busy mom getting everyone ready for the school year, a college student heading back to campus, or a parent wanting to start the season feeling refreshed, a little self-care can go a long way.
At The Nest Beauty Services in Riverdale, Utah, we're here to help you look and feel your best before the first bell rings. Even better? Complimentary onsite childcare is available during qualifying appointments, making it easier than ever for busy parents to prioritize themselves.
Here's your ultimate Back-to-School Beauty Checklist.
1. Fresh Nails for a Fresh Start
Your hands are one of the first things people notice—especially if you're a teacher writing on whiteboards, helping students, or meeting parents every day.
A fresh manicure instantly makes you feel more polished and put together.

Teacher Tip
Choose shorter, practical nails that are comfortable for typing, grading papers, and working with students.
2. Schedule Your Haircut Before School Starts
Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of the year for salons.
Booking your haircut before school begins means you'll start the semester feeling confident instead of scrambling to find an appointment later.
Whether you're looking for:
A fresh trim
A complete transformation
A healthy refresh
A professional blowout
Our stylists will help you find a style that fits your lifestyle and morning routine.
3. Shape Your Brows
Well-groomed eyebrows frame your face and make a noticeable difference—even on makeup-free mornings.
A professional brow wax can:
Define your natural shape
Save time getting ready
Make your eyes appear more open
Create a polished look with minimal effort
Want even less maintenance?
Pair your brow wax with:
Brow tint
Brow lamination
You'll spend less time filling in your brows every morning.
4. Keep That Summer Glow
Just because summer is ending doesn't mean your glow has to.
A professional spray tan gives you a healthy, sun-kissed look without harmful UV exposure.
Perfect for:
Teacher photos
School open houses
Parent-teacher conferences
Family photos
Back-to-school events
Our custom spray tans are personalized to your skin tone for natural-looking results.
5. Wake Up Ready with Lash Extensions
Busy mornings become much easier when your lashes are already done.
Lash extensions can help you:
Skip mascara
Save time every morning
Look refreshed with minimal makeup
Feel put together even on early school mornings
Whether you prefer:
Classic Lashes
Hybrid Lashes
Volume Lashes
We'll customize your look based on your goals and lifestyle.
Why Teachers Love Low-Maintenance Beauty

Lesson plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my back-to-school appointments?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks before school starts, as late summer is one of the busiest times of the year.
Which service should I prioritize if I only have time for one?
A haircut or fresh manicure can make the biggest overall impact. If you're looking for a low-maintenance routine, lash extensions and brow waxing are also excellent choices.
How long do lash extensions last?
With proper care and regular fills every 2–3 weeks, lash extensions can be maintained year-round.
Is a spray tan safe before school photos?
Yes! We recommend scheduling your spray tan 1–2 days before photos or special events for the most natural-looking results.
