The Hottest Salon and Spa Services That Make Fabulous Holiday Gifts!

At Forbici, December is more than a busy month—it’s the season for self-care. Our clients’ favorites reflect both winter needs and holiday indulgence:

HydraFacial® & Advanced Skin Treatments

Cold weather is harsh on skin. Redness, dryness, and dullness spike in December, which is why our HydraFacial® treatments are flying off the books. These facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate, leaving your skin glowing and ready for holiday parties or that Zoom holiday call. For a luxurious twist, add targeted serums for anti-aging, brightening, or acne-control.

Hair Refresh, Color, & Extensions

Winter hair can feel flat, brittle, and lifeless. Our hair experts specialize in everything from balayage and vibrant color refreshes to nourishing deep-conditioning treatments. Imagine gifting a friend or loved one a seasonal color that brightens their look, restores softness, and leaves their hair camera-ready for all those holiday selfies.

Bonus: Add extensions for extra volume and drama, or a gloss treatment to enhance shine.

Massage & Body Treatments

Stress melts away with hot stone massages, deep tissue treatments, or salt-glow scrubs. Each service includes aromatherapy and soothing music for a total sensory escape. Pair with a facial or mani-pedi for the ultimate self-care experience.

Men’s Grooming & Self-Care

Self-care isn’t just for women anymore. Our Men’s Escape packages include tailored haircuts, scalp treatments, and even pedicures or manicures if they want the full experience. Add a deep tissue massage for the stressed-out professional, and suddenly the gift is both practical and luxurious.

Gift impact: Show the men in your life you know relaxation is a priority too.

Holiday Manis & Pedis: The Unsung Heroes of Festive 

Glow-Ups

Holiday manicures and pedicures are basically the finishing touch that makes you feel like you have your life together, even if you’ve been stress-eating peppermint bark for a week straight. Deep reds, sparkly golds, frosty silvers—holiday nail colors just hit different. Now, let’s talk gift cards—they’re the MVPs of last-minute gifting, but honestly? They deserve more respect. Giving someone a mani-pedi gift card is like saying, “You deserve to feel fabulous” It’s relaxing, it’s pampering, it’s practical, and it fits everyone—from your bestie to your boss.

Fresh nails for holiday parties aren’t just cosmetic; they’re a mood-setter. They help people walk into every room feeling put-together. It’s self-care disguised as sparkle. And that’s why gifting a salon experience isn’t just a present—it’s a whole festive power-up.

In short? Holiday nails make people feel good, look good, and show up ready to sleigh. And gifting that feeling? Kind of iconic.

Friends & Groups

Treat your besties to a joint spa day! Purchase multiple gift cards, schedule appointments together, and enjoy sparkling beverages while you’re at the salon. Nothing says festive fun like pampering with friends.
