Though inner beauty is important, the fact remains that outer beauty is still often used to determine SAT scores and income-tax rates. Get a leg up on life with today's Groupon: for $23, you get a spa package from Salon Cosmetique at Vatterott College in St. Charles (a $55 total value). The spa package includes:

• A manicure with paraffin dip (a $10 value)

• An eyebrow wax (a $5 value)
  
  

Salon Cosmetique trains the budding cosmetologists at Vatterott College to perform hair, nail, and skincare services that both relax and beautify. A duo of paraffin wax treatments resurfaces overworked hands and feet in a soothing layer of hydration, and a mani-pedi tinges keratin caps in glossy, colorful shades. Hair stylists shear strands into sculptable layers before deducting kinks with billowy blasts from a blow dryer. A spa facial renews the skin of the head's most prominent hemisphere, and a methodical brow wax adds expressiveness to eyebrows by pruning them into contemplative arches or love notes to the toaster.
