Though best known for expanding the limits of human thought, the great philosophers were also ardent proponents of skin treatments—rarely furrowing their brows without first applying a de-furrowing cucumber mask. Ponder bodily bliss with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get $75 worth of salon and spa services at Turning Heads Salon & Spa, located on Omaha’s northwest side. This Groupon is good toward any service, but must be used in one visit.
There are more services available at Turning Heads than there are ants at an ant picnic. On the salon end of things, services include haircuts ($28 for women, $23 for men) that can be chased with a conditioning treatment with heat ($20) or a shampoo and blow dry ($23). Turn film-noir follicles back into Technicolor tresses with a single-process color ($43) and cap highlights ($53). The Turning Heads team can also trim beards for both men and female circus professionals ($8), give makeovers ($29/half hour), and groom your finger-helmets with a full range of nail services.
For those who are in more of a spa mood, treat tootsies to a spa manicure ($23) and a spa pedicure ($48), or treat the whole body to a relaxing massage. Piece together multiple services to create a stress-dispelling rejuvenation experience: request a lip conditioning ($15), a half hour of hydrotherapy (volcanic mud, aromatherapy, or arctic algae skin treatment; $35), and a full-body tan ($29). The spalon escape will make bodies feel like a newly constructed Temple of Joy with skin that glows its healthiest and looks its youngest, just like an electric baby.

Groupon Says
Beware of the Barber
Getting your hair done is a great way to confront your fears after an all-night VHS marathon of the classic slasher-flick series The Barber. Our personal favorite is Barber VI: Shear Terror, but we'll never forget the trailer for the original Barber film. In fact, we know it by heart:
Creepy Voiceover: Sunnyside, Missouri. An ordinary town…
Popular High Schooler: Hey, Slamandra! Want to go get updos for the big Prom Game this weekend?
Creepy Voiceover: With a not-so-ordinary hair salon.
(Shot of barbershop saloon doors creaking in wind. Striped barber's pole begins to drip blood. Maniacal laughter)
Voiceover: This summer…terror will have a new style.
Sandy-Blond Handsomeish Jock: It's the barber! Everyone who goes in there comes out…I don't know, different!
(Shot of dog growling at an empty swing set. Teenagers running. A milky-eyed ghost child with ribbons in her hair points menacingly at a cornfield.)
Popular High Schooler's Resourceful-Looking Brunette Friend: Don't drink the blue stuff! There's something in it!
Jock's Cocky Best Friend Who Is Basically Already Dead: Yeah, duh. A comb. (Drinks blue stuff because of peer pressure. More maniacal laughter.)
Voiceover: The Barber. His magazines are old…but his methods…(metallic slashing noise)…are cutting-edge.
Moviefone Voice: To find the theaters nearest you playing The Barber, turn around, he's right behind you!
