Hair gifts are hard to get wrong if you think about what the person actually lives with.
Someone who complains about frizz every morning does not need another candle.
She needs a product that fixes the frizz, or an hour in a chair where someone else does it for her.
This guide covers both: salon gift cards for a WHITEFOX hair day, and Davines sets matched to the hair on the receiving end.
A gift card for a hair day
A salon gift card is the gift for the person who never makes time for herself. She will not reserve a blowout on her own. She will if it is already paid for.
A few ways to think about the amount:
A blowout. The simplest luxury. A wash, a scalp massage and a finished style she did not have to do herself. See our blowouts.
A scalp facial. Cleansing, exfoliating, massage and conditioning for the scalp, which most people never think to take care of. More on our scalp treatments.
Toward color. For the friend who has been talking about going lighter, or covering grey, for a year. A gift card toward a color service gives her the push.
Gift cards are available in the salon or by phone at (806) 236-6047. Tell the front desk who it is for and what you have in mind, and they can help you pick an amount that covers the service.
Davines sets, matched to their hair
Davines is the only professional line we carry, and we chose it for how it performs on real hair and for how the brand makes it. The holiday sets pair the products that work together, so the person you are buying for gets a full routine instead of one bottle.
The easy way to choose is by hair type, not by packaging:
Dry or color-treated hair: a hydrating or nourishing set. Shampoo, conditioner and a mask that put moisture back into the lengths.
Blondes: a set built around tone and strength, so the blonde stays bright between toner appointments.
Frizzy or coarse hair: a smoothing set that makes air-drying and blowouts easier.
Fine or flat hair: a volume set that adds body without weighing it down.
They have everything: a hair mask on its own. Masks are the product most people do not buy for themselves, which is what makes them a good gift.
Not sure which one? Tell us about her hair at the front desk and we will point you to the right set. You can also shop Davines online through our Fresha store if that is easier. Our post on Davines sustainable hair care explains more about the line, and our Davines page shows what we carry.
Stocking stuffers that feel like more
Small gifts work best when they are something she will use the next morning:
A single Davines mask or leave-in.
A good brush for detangling wet hair without breaking it.
A silk scrunchie or pillowcase, which protects a blowout overnight.
A travel-size shine product for touch-ups.
Holiday sets and small add-ons are limited and sell through, so earlier in the season gives you the best selection.
Gifts for the hair person in your life
If she is already a WHITEFOX guest, a gift card is still the right call. She can put it toward whatever is next on her list. If she has been meaning to try WHITEFOX, the gift card is the nudge.
And if you are buying for yourself this year, which is allowed, start with your own December plans. Our post on why December fills fast explains how to get your hair days on the calendar.
Confidence that carries beyond the chair.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a WHITEFOX gift card?
Yes. Gift cards are available in the salon or by calling (806) 236-6047.
Can a gift card be used for any service?
Ask the front desk when you buy it. If you have a specific service in mind, they can help you choose an amount that covers it.
What Davines products make the best gifts?
A set matched to her hair type, or a single hair mask. Masks are the product most people skip buying for themselves.
Can I buy Davines online?
Yes, through our Fresha online store. You can also shop in the salon, where the team can help you choose.
When should I shop for holiday hair gifts?
Early. Holiday sets are limited, and the salon gets busy in December.
Whether the gift is a hair day or a routine that makes her mornings easier, it is one she will actually use. Call (806) 236-6047 for gift cards, shop Davines on Fresha, or, if this year the gift is for you, become a WHITEFOX Guest.
