In the Old West, cowboys would often stop by the town salon for a glass of whiskey, a game of poker, and a cleansing exfoliation. Saddle up for shaping up with today's Groupon: for $39, you get a 60-minute Swedish massage for your body and a shampoo and style for your hair at Salon Embellish on 7th Street (a $75 total value).
A full-service Aveda salon, Salon Embellish offers a wide variety of eco-friendly treatments to transform clients into their own version of that rare high-school girl who was rumored to be both pretty and nice. The relatively new salon (opened in January 2009) is chic yet unpretentious, with a bevy of talented team members to greet clients with a collective toothy grin before leading the way to a luxurious private treatment room. Unwind under the magical mitten-fillers of a trained massage therapist, enjoying 60 minutes of a Swedish massage, which uses long, connective, and responsive strokes to promote deep relaxation ($50).
After your massage, complement a newly restored bod with a quick scalp spruce-up. A qualified follicle tamer will unleash a lavish lather, rinse, and style, creating a refined encasement for a thoroughly relaxed thinking brain ($25+). Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
Massage and style must be schedule on the same visit.

Groupon Says
Radically Relaxed
Over the course of a 60-minute massage, your mind and body will experience relaxingly radical changes. Here's a timeline of what you can expect during your massage:
Minute 3: As you begin to trust your massage therapist, you stop screaming.
Minute 22: You become so relaxed that you lose the ability to speak, but you are able to communicate with your massage therapist via a complicated system of eye rolls and flags.
Minute 34: Your existential crises wash away, and you're now only concerned with the army of raccoons living in your walls.
Minute 51: Either you've gained the ability to start fires with your mind, or something else has set the room on fire.
Minute 59: In your final minute of relaxation, you realize that birds are just tiny people.
