Beauty & Spas in Burlingame

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then nails are the doorways to the self. Important research suggests you can tell more about people from their fingernails than you'd expect—37% more. Fingernails riddled with bite marks indicate the person has run out of hot dogs. A bruised fingernail is evidence of someone with the deadly combination of an oral fixation and horse teeth. Nails decorated with painted-on Dolce&Gabbana logos likely belong to a person sponsored by Dolce&Gabbana. Prevent the unwanted broadcasting of personal information: go with a clean and simple style with a great manicure at Tiptoes Nail Spa.

The oversized styling mirrors at Mara's Salon reflect clients growing progressively more relaxed under the spell of the peace-inducing botanical aromas drifting through the studio. Nail techs spike mani-pedis with herbal tea, ylang-ylang oil, lavender salts, or a milk-and-honey blend; meanwhile, guests seated on leather armchairs or sofas gingerly nibble snacks and sip wine between hydrating lotion massages and paraffin dips. Staff supplement generous business hours with flexible off-hours scheduling, letting men and women work haircut, color, or waxing sessions into a tight schedule and meet the birds who come in to collect the salon's discarded hair for their nests each night.

With the motto "polish while they play," Mani + Nanny is an oasis for the chic urban mommy. The innovative spa offers a unique service: full-out pampering (recliners, rose-petal foot baths, warm lotion massages, and complimentary tea or white wine) while an on-site nanny supervises your kids' playtime. This Groupon is good for two pedicures, but by bringing it in, you also get half-priced nanny services (your 6-week-old to 6-year-old child can be taken care of for a mere $5 and each additional child for only $2.50 extra). If you're not a mom, go and enjoy the inviting and comfy Mani + Nanny space.

Groom your body and freshen your mind at MR. Barbershop and Urban Lounge. With today's Groupon, $50 gets you two haircuts or two shaves with two shape-ups (light trims good for between cuts) and two drinks at the classy Financial District lounge, social club, and barbershop. MR. was founded by two Stanford Graduate School of Business grads who dreamt of an excellent haircut in a hip, elegant lounge. They created a sleek, ultra-modern space with monthly memberships and a classy wine bar—making the joint seem more like a social club than a barbershop. Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
