A graduation gift that is not another gift card to nowhere

Spa gift cards get used, which is more than can be said for most graduation presents. Ours arrive by email within minutes, hold their value, and work on any service — so a grad can put it toward a gel manicure before the ceremony or save it for a full massage during their first break from work or college.

If you would rather give something specific, a pedicure at $49 or a shellac gel manicure at $45 are excellent under-fifty gifts, and a facial at $109 suits a grad who has been through exam-season skin.

Before the ceremony, or after the chaos

Graduation week is busy for nails and waxing — manicures, pedicures, and brow waxing before photos. Book those ten to fourteen days out, especially for Saturdays in late May and June, and schedule brow waxing at least a week before rather than the day before.

Plenty of families book the spa day after graduation instead, when the calendar has calmed down. Side-by-side pedicures for the grad and a parent at $150 for two is the most common version, and makes for a nicer afternoon than another rushed celebration dinner.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good graduation gift from a spa?

A gift card is the safest since it covers any service and never loses value. For something specific, a $49 pedicure, a $45 shellac gel manicure, or a $109 facial are the most popular graduation gifts here.

How quickly do gift cards arrive?

Within minutes, by email. You can buy one the morning of the ceremony and it will be there in time.

Can a teenager book a spa service?

Guests under eighteen are welcome with a parent or guardian present and consent for the service. Pedicures, manicures, and the teen acne facial are the usual choices.

When should we book nails before graduation?

Ten to fourteen days ahead for late May and June, especially Saturdays. Brow waxing should be done at least a week before photos, not the day before.

Can the grad and a parent book together?

Yes. Side-by-side pedicures are $150 for two and a side-by-side 60 minute massage is $218 for two, both with two providers at the same time.

Do gift cards expire?

The value does not expire, so the card still works when they are home on a break.
