Getting a mani-pedi can help relieve stress, especially if the technician lets you squeeze the bags of cotton balls afterward. Get a grip with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $39 for a spa mani-pedi (an $80 value)
• $35 for a full set of gel nails (a $70 value)

During each spa manicure, Jennifer Landrey scrubs and massages hands already softened in a basin of warm water. She then pushes back the cuticles’ stealthy advances into neighboring territories and files nails before coating them in vibrant hues. A transition to a cushioned whirlpool chair begins the spa pedicure, which commences the same way as the manicure—in a pool of warm, bubbly water. As Jennifer buffs calluses and trims toenails, clients can sip wine, tea, or coffee while enjoying an elevated view of the salon.

Alternatively, a traditional service with gel nails lasts up to two weeks without chipping or fading.
