A Penthouse gift card is a digital voucher from R800 to R20,000 that she can spend on a luxury human hair wig, a professional install or a salon service at The Penthouse Beauty Studio in Sandton. It is the easiest way to give hair or glam without guessing her taste, length or lace preference.
Key takeaways
- The gift card ranges from R800 to R20,000, so it works for a thoughtful treat or a major gift.
- It can be used for wigs, installs or salon services, which means she chooses what she actually wants.
- It is digital, so it suits last-minute December gifting and recipients who live far from Sandton but shop online.
- Below, you will find gift ideas by budget, using real prices from our wigs and bundles.
Why a gift card beats guessing
Buying hair for someone else is surprisingly hard. Wigs are personal: length, texture, lace size, colour and cap fit all matter, and the “perfect” unit for one woman looks wrong on another. Even a salon service is tricky to choose on her behalf. Does she want braids before her holiday, or a glam appointment before a year-end function?
A gift card solves that. You choose the amount; she chooses the experience. It also takes the pressure off sizing and returns, and it lets her book when it suits her rather than when the gift arrives.
Timing matters too. December is full of functions, weddings and travel, and many women want their hair done for a specific date. A wig bought weeks in advance might need customising; a salon slot booked for her might clash with her plans. With a gift card, she decides on both the look and the moment, which is exactly what makes it feel considered rather than generic.

| Gift card value | What it could cover | A good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| R800 | The Mani + Pedi Combo (R630), or a professional wig treatment | Colleagues, friends, a “just because” treat |
| R1,200 to R2,500 | The Wig Care Bundle (R1,190), the Protective Style Premium bundle (R1,760), the six-treatment Wig Treatment course (R2,000) or the Sira pixie (R2,250) | The friend who already wears wigs, or wants a holiday protective style |
| R3,000 to R7,500 | Zendeya 14″ (R3,000), Halle Pixie Frontal (R3,500) or Zara 10″ (R7,500) | Her first quality wig, or a short, chic new look |
| R9,500 to R20,000 | Nini 14″ (R9,500), Zara 24″ (R17,400) or Zara Burgundy 24″ (R18,400) | Milestone birthdays, graduations, a bride-to-be |
Gift card ideas under R1,000
A smaller amount can still feel indulgent if it covers a complete experience. The Mani + Pedi Combo, listed at R630 on our bundles page, includes a manicure with top and base coat and a gel paint overlay on the toes. For someone who already owns a wig she loves, a professional wig treatment restores softness and shine; our Wig Maintenance bundle, for example, is R349 a month for one treatment.
You might also add a spa visit to her wish list. Our Japanese head spa is one of the most relaxing ways to spend an hour in Sandton; see current prices on Fresha and choose a gift card value to match.

Luxury gift ideas: a wig she will wear for years
For a milestone, a quality human hair wig is a gift she will use again and again. With good care, raw and virgin hair units often last well beyond a single season. Two directions work well:
The sleek classic
Zara 10″, R7,500, is a sleek straight bob in single donor Vietnamese raw hair, fully glueless with an interior drawstring and tension band. It is low maintenance and flattering on many face shapes. With PayFlex, 4 × R1,875.
The statement piece
Zara Burgundy 24″, R18,400, combines long straight single donor Vietnamese raw hair with a rich burgundy colour on a glueless 13×6 transparent lace. With PayFlex, 4 × R4,600.
If you are not sure of her taste, a gift card at the same value lets her choose, and our wig finder quiz helps her narrow down the options in a few questions.
How does the Penthouse digital gift card work?
- Choose the value. Go to the gift card page and select an amount between R800 and R20,000.
- Check out online. Complete your order through our secure online checkout.
- Share it with her. Because the gift card is digital, there is nothing to post or collect, which makes it a reliable last-minute option.
- She chooses. She can put it towards a wig, an install or a salon service such as nails, braids, glam or a spa treatment.
For full terms of use, check the gift card product page before you buy, or ask our team on WhatsApp.
Who is a Penthouse gift card for?
- Your mother or sister: a pamper day she would never book for herself.
- A bride-to-be: credit towards bridal styling, glam or a wedding wig.
- A friend with a big birthday: a new look to mark a new chapter.
- Your team: smaller-value cards make thoughtful year-end thank-yous.
- Yourself: there is no rule that says you cannot.
Make the gift feel personal
A gift card is flexible, but it does not have to feel impersonal. A few touches help:
- Write a short note suggesting what you imagine her using it for, whether that is the perfect bob or a long-overdue head spa.
- Offer to come with her. A joint appointment, such as nails while she has her wig installed, turns a voucher into a shared outing.
- Give it early. In December, salon diaries fill quickly, so a card given in November leaves time to book.
Our loyalty programme adds a little extra: clients earn Penthouse Points on spend, reviews, online bookings and completed appointments, and referring a friend gives you both 10% off.
The gift she will actually use
The best luxury gifts are the ones that get used, and a Penthouse gift card turns into a new wig, a fresh install or an afternoon of glam in Sandton. Choose your amount on the gift card page, or message us on WhatsApp if you would like help choosing the right value.

Frequently asked questions
How much can I put on a Penthouse gift card?
The Penthouse digital gift card is available from R800 to R20,000. A smaller value can cover a treat such as the Mani + Pedi Combo or a month of wig maintenance, while a larger value can go towards a luxury human hair wig. Choose the amount on the gift card product page.
What can the gift card be used for?
It can be used for wigs, installs or salon services at The Penthouse. That includes services such as braids, nails, glam, wig treatments and spa treatments. Because the recipient chooses, it avoids the guesswork of buying a wig or booking a specific service on her behalf.
Is the gift card physical or digital?
The Penthouse gift card is digital, so there is nothing to post or collect. That makes it a practical option for last-minute gifts and for recipients outside Sandton who shop online. Check the gift card product page for full terms before you buy, or ask our team on WhatsApp.
Can I buy a wig as a gift instead of a gift card?
You can, but it helps to know her preferred length, texture and lace type. If you are unsure, a gift card for the same value is the safer choice, and she can use our wig finder quiz to choose. Our returns policy is on the returns page if you do buy a specific unit.
What is a good gift card amount for a first wig?
A good first wig at The Penthouse starts from R2,250 for the glueless Sira pixie, with options such as Zendeya 14" at R3,000 and Zara 10" at R7,500. Adding enough for an installation is a thoughtful touch. Service prices for installs are listed on Fresha.
