Every December, our front desks at K. Charles & Co. fill up with guests asking the same question: “What should I get them?” After more than 40 years as an Aveda salon in San Antonio, we’ve gotten pretty good at answering it. Here’s our guide to the gifts we recommend most, organized by who you’re shopping for.

Why Aveda Makes an Easy Gift

• Every Aveda hair and body care gift set is 100% vegan.
• Sets come ready to give, so there’s no wrapping stress.
• The formulas work. These are the same products our stylists use behind the chair.
• There’s something for every hair type, from fine and thinning to thick and curly.

Aveda Gifts for Hair and Skin

• Gift of Radiance Botanical Repair™ & Miraculous Oil Set ($63): A holiday-exclusive 3-piece set that builds bonds, repairs damage and adds instant shine. It’s our top pick for anyone who colors or heat styles often.
• Gift of Renewal Botanical Kinetics™ Essentials Skin Care Set ($75): A holiday-exclusive 3-piece set of plant-derived everyday skincare that refreshes and renews. For more on Aveda’s skincare science, read our guide to Advanced Botanical Kinetics.

• Ritual Bloom Pure-Fume™ Aroma Spray ($69)

K. Charles Gift Cards

When you’re not sure what someone wants, a K. Charles gift card lets them choose. Gift cards can be used toward:

• Haircuts and styling
• Aveda hair color, including gloss services that add shine and refresh tone
• Skin treatments like the Ultraceuticals Ultra B2 Hydration Mask
• Aveda products at either location

Buy gift cards online or pick one up at our Ventura Plaza or Austin Highway salon.

Salon Experiences They’ll Actually Use

Some of the best gifts are appointments. Consider pairing a gift card with a note suggesting one of these:

• A color gloss: A demi-permanent color service with Aveda color that adds shine and refreshes faded tone in one visit.
• The Ultra B2 Hydration Mask: An Ultraceuticals treatment mask with panthenol and sodium hyaluronate to calm redness, plus niacinamide to refine pores and brighten skin. It can be added to a hair service.
• An Ultraceuticals facial: A customized facial that combines active ingredients, massage and ultrasound therapy to target clarity, radiance, hydration or rejuvenation.
• A fresh haircut: It’s always welcome before holiday photos.
