If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, then disheveled hair provides the least efficient route for climbing monkeys to reach the bananas in your fruit hat. Today's Groupon to Inspire Salon tames tresses for easy scaling. Choose between the following options:
- For $99, you get one Brazilian blowout or Bumble and bumble Concen-straight treatment (up to a $250 value).
- For $189, you get two Brazilian blowouts or Bumble and bumble Concen-straight treatments (up to a $500 value).
Inspire Salon's stylists transform their clients' tresses in a polished and welcoming environment. During 90-minute Brazilian blowout treatments, stylists coat strands with a smoothing serum that sinks deep into hair cuticles to silkify wild manes. Clinging to coifs for three to four months, the treatment shields strands from errant humidity and exiles frizz to tumbleweed gardens. The Bumble and bumble's Concen-straight treatment smoothes locks for up to 30 shampoos, imbuing head gardens with a glossy glow and making hair more manageable to style. The formula's gemstone blend of malachite, sapphire, tourmaline, and pearl convinces strands' curves to relax, and light hints of silicone seal the results against heat, time, and vindictive hats.
At Inspire's flagship downtown location, a chandelier dangles above a central staircase, flanked by translucent glass railings, that stretches up to a second-level balcony. Before appointments, clients can sink into cushioned white benches, taking advantage of free WiFi to write Dear John emails to frizz while perusing a wall of Bumble and bumble products. At the Uptown salon, WiFi also invisibly permeates the air amid buttery tan hues punctuated with organically shaped vases and chairs.
Some hair-straightening products that claim to be formaldehyde-free include aldehyde compounds, which are similar to the carcinogen formaldehyde. Side effects may include nosebleeds, headaches, vomiting, and respiratory problems, among others. Learn more about the health risks here.
Our customers loved this deal last year, earning Inspire Salon a spot on Groupon's Best of 2011 list.

The Groupon Guide to: Classic Beatles Songs
The music of The Beatles is nothing short of an American treasure. Here is a listening guide to the best of the best of The Beatles:
"Yesterday:" Listen closely to the singing on this classic track and you can tell that it was originally sung backward and then reversed to give the impression that the singer was traveling back to “yesterday.”
"A Day in the Life:" This song has a classic Beatles easter egg. Listen closely and you can hear Ringo say “Oops!” 37 times, one for each time he dropped a drumstick.
"The Big Song:" Classic The Beatles. Here they are doing what they do best. Notice how the trumpets stop and are replaced by actual elephants at the 22:46 mark.
"Doctor Donkey’s Dirigible:" This tune from their experimental phase has two imaginary drum sets on it.
"Tubthumping:" Who would’ve thought that 30 years later The Beatles would still be on top of their game?
