Choose from Three Options

  • $29 for two express facials (a $60 value)
  • $55 for four express facials (a $120 value)
  • $39 for one signature facial and a European back treatment (an $85 value)

While performing the express facial under the supervision of licensed staff, student aestheticians cleanse faces before applying a mask that seeps into the skin. After the mask is washed away, the aesthetician applies toner and finishes the treatment with a moisturizing lotion containing sunscreen.

During the signature facial, aestheticians build upon the express facial by offering a custom skin analysis, then use the results to tailor the rest of the facial. After he or she exfoliates the skin, she applies a custom mask while massaging facial muscles and performing extractions. They then applies toner to the skin, and the facial concludes with the application of sunscreen-based moisturizer. The European back treatment addresses acne-prone backs with exfoliation, a skin mask, and extractions, finishing with the application of toner and moisturizer.

The Academy

Though the student aestheticians performing the salon and spa treatments at The Academy are still learning their craft, their work demonstrates a keen understanding of it. Under the watchful eyes of licensed professionals, students can showcase their new skills with subtle coloring treatments, wrinkle-erasing glycolic and retinol facials, and precise waxing and sugaring treatments. They also perform haircuts, and when their clients get their salon and spa fix here, the budding stylists don’t have to practice coif work by cutting their parents’ hedges or mashed potatoes—and clients can avoid the high cost of regular salons to boot.

The Groupon Guide to: Cereal-Box Prizes

You, like most people, probably have fond childhood memories of your parents getting back from the grocery store with a brand-new box of kids' cereal, placing the box on the kitchen table in front of you, putting a hammer in your hand, and saying "You know what you need to do." Here are some prizes you can expect to find in a box of cereal:

  • Baby's First Cereal bib
  • Packet of "odor powder" that can be added to mask that gross milk smell
  • Plastic dog figurine that spews out fresh milk when squeezed
  • Glossy headshot of actor James Coburn signed "I like eating cereal too, young man."
  • Shrink-wrapped clump of more cereal
  • Spoon

Did James Coburn love Trix?
