Couples Massage Gift Card Near Foster City

Match the balance to a length and it pays for the session with nothing to settle at the desk. Couples Massage runs on three prices, and each one is the total for both guests rather than a rate per person.

A full-body pass for each of them at a steady pace, on two tables side by side with one therapist to a table. Split down the middle it comes to about $95 a person.

Whole-body work with time left for the part that hurts. If one of them carries the same knot in the same shoulder every week, the extra half hour is where it gets worked properly instead of passed over.

The longest length on the menu and the least hurried: scalp, hands and feet get real time rather than a quick pass at the end. Give this one for a day with nothing booked afterwards.

A gift card is a balance, not a voucher for one booking, so a smaller or larger figure works too. If they would rather split it into two solo Signature Massages at $109 each, or hand all of it to one person as a Four Hands Massage, the card pays for that instead. The couples booking comes with hot towels and a hot compress; hot stones and cupping are optional and included at no additional charge.

Our massage gift card guide sets out what each amount books across the whole menu, from a 45 minute session to the lymphatic facial combinations.

The $200 preset, for the 60 minute session. Square's order form offers four presets and a custom box, and against the three couples prices they land like this:

No, the card covers either, because both run on the same three prices; the difference lies in who is on the table. Couples Massage puts two guests on two tables with a therapist each; Four Hands Massage puts both therapists on one guest.

That turns the choice into a question about the gift. For a pair who want an evening in the same room, give them couples. For one person who is the reason you are buying at all — a new parent, or a partner who spent the year on their feet — Four Hands gives them both therapists at once. What the couples hour feels like from the table is on our couples massage in San Carlos page.

Yes. Each guest has their own therapist and gives their own instructions, so one can ask for slow, firm work on knots, the way a Deep Tissue Massage is done, while the other asks for the long, lighter strokes of a Swedish Massage. Neither request changes the price.

The optional extras are decided per person as well: one can take hot stones and cupping while the other skips both. Cupping leaves round marks for a few days. NCCIH's cupping page records 4 side effects (lasting skin discoloration, scars, burns and infection) and flags eczema and psoriasis as 2 conditions cupping may make worse. Our plain-language cupping guide is worth forwarding with the card if either of them is unsure.

For the one who wants the firmest work they can take, our guide to asking for firm pressure explains the 1 to 10 scale. NCCIH rates the overall risk of massage as low and records 3 rare serious problems: a blood clot, a nerve injury and a bone fracture.

Yes, through the Group gift card option on the Square form, which pools money from several contributors into one card for one recipient. It suits a wedding or a milestone anniversary, where a handful of friends each putting in a share adds up to the 120 minute session without anyone collecting cash.

The other two modes cover the opposite cases. "For one individual" sends one card, or a bulk purchase of several. "For multiple people" sends cards to several recipients at once, which works when you are thanking two couples together. A pooled card works the same way for a birthday spa gift as it does for an anniversary massage gift.

About 15 minutes, traffic allowing. There is one Harbor Wellness studio, at 1658 El Camino Real, San Carlos, CA 94070. Foster City is on the bay side of Highway 101 and the studio is on the other, so every route in crosses the freeway and ends on El Camino Real.

Street parking on El Camino Real out front is free, and the storefront glass shows 1658 alongside the hours. From San Mateo the trip is about 10 minutes down El Camino Real; our massage near San Mateo page has that route. The map and parking notes are on the contact and directions page, and massage near Foster City covers the drive over after an evening on the Bay Trail.

No. Under California Civil Code section 1749.5 it is unlawful to sell a gift certificate with an expiration date or a service fee, and the same section makes a balance under $15 redeemable in cash. There are no blackout dates either, so the card books any day the studio is open.

Federal rules set a lower floor than California's. The CFPB notes that a gift card cannot be sold to expire in less than 5 years and cannot carry inactivity fees for its first 12 months. Its advice to givers still applies: pass the terms and the receipt along with the card. Everything else about how the card works is on our massage gift cards page.
