Personalize Your Gift

If you’ve ordered AURA before…

If you’re already an AURA lover, ordering a personalized Ritual for your friend is as easy as one, two, three. There’s no need to go through the hair care Quiz unless you want to start from scratch and make them their own account. Either way, you’re going to end up with an unforgettable present. 

  • Go into your account and edit your formula based on what you think your friend would like. 
  • Here you can select the product, exact hair goals you want to add, the aroma, and all the other little details. 
  • Make sure to put their name on the bottle and include their name on the shipping address to get it delivered right to their door.

If you’re ordering AURA for the first time…

If you’ve never ordered AURA before, gifting AURA is a fun and interactive experience. Follow the steps below and you’ll be in good hands. 

  • Fill out the hair care Quiz one of two ways: 
    • Keep your gift a secret and fill out the Quiz with their hair in mind as best as you can. If you come across a question you don’t know how to answer you can just bring up the subject of hair care and what your pain points are. Who doesn’t want to gush or complain about their hair care because they just haven’t found their forever products? 
    • Or you can sit down with them and do the Quiz together! This makes it a fun bonding experience and they’ll still get a gorgeous box of hair care products delivered right to their door for them to unwrap.

  • It’s important to note that when you finish the Quiz, you will be required to create an account that will save this information. You can either use your information or your friend’s if you’d like. If you decide to use your giftee’s info, they will receive a confirmation email from AURA, so it might be good to give them a heads up!

How do you decide which products they need?

Does your loved one need Shampoo? Conditioner? A Masque? Or all three? In general, we recommend going for the full 3-step Ritual to make sure that they unlock all of their hair goals. Each hair care product is made-to-order and formulated to work together in order to deliver the hair of their dreams. 

That said, you can always start with a Shampoo and Conditioner duo to get them started on the right foot. They can decide for themselves later down the road if they want to upgrade their hair care Ritual to include our luxurious hair Masque. 

If your friend or family member loves to color their hair, you may also consider gifting them a Conditioner and hair Masque bundle with one of our Color Enhancing semi-permanent pigments. With this option, you can choose from our rainbow array of fashion-forward Fantasy shades (like French Lavender or Monaco Magenta) or color-boosting Classic shades (like Chocolate or Copper). 

The Pigmented Masque will transform their hair color and the Conditioner will maintain it from wash to wash so it’s essential to get both of these products together if you want to gift them long-lasting results.
