My answer would be the dollar value of the gift certificate does not expire, in essense, the amount of money that passed hands. So if the GC was for a buy one pedi (say valued at $50) get one half off, value of the GC would be $75. So, after the expiration date that is used to "entice" the client to use it in a timely fashion passes, then the salon should honor the GC at the $75 value. If the GC isn't redeemed by the period of time that the state specifies, the $75 needs to be turned over to the state as unclaimed property.
