Beauty & Spas in Rosemount

Sneak away from daily stresses, busy streets, and average-tasting popcorn in favor of an afternoon escape with today’s Groupon.

Nourish winter-worn skin with today's Groupon. For $75, you'll get a 90-minute Korean spa ritual at Sabai Body Temple, one of the city's best spas according to Citysearchers, who voted it Best Minneapolis Massage in 2009. The hour-and-a-half experience will cleanse, stimulate, restore, and renew seasonally parched skin.

Correct the creaks, clacks, and uncomfortable transversal twists of a bothered back with today’s Groupon. For $35, you’ll get a one-hour therapeutic massage (a $75.51 value) at Artifex Manuum Spa and Gallery, a soothing sanctuary in the Wedge. Unlike most spas, Artifex doubles as a gallery for locally created arts and crafts and doesn't have a wacky jerboa who's always hopping by to give advice and delightfully misunderstand common proverbs.

Wave Salon’s Jen Des Lauriers will expertly mold your brows to accentuate your facial features in the same way a well-placed painting accentuates the décor of a dining room (while concealing its secret passageway to the conservatory). Through it all, you’ll get to lie back and soak in Wave’s wood-tinged décor splashed with soothing notes of blue. Call ahead to schedule your appointment.

Reflexology is based on the belief that reflex points in hands and feet are directly wired to organs, glands, and endo-wonderthings within the human body. By massaging and applying pressure to the skin gloves and flesh boots, reflexology stimulates the body into self-healing, reducing stress and improving circulation more cleanly and effectively than directly massaging the spleen. Phyllis Schwartz, the founder of Keep in Touch and the daughter of a nurse, started practicing reflexology at the age of 10, and is trained in the Eunice Ingham method.

Mes Amis's experienced cosmetinauts and hairsplorers will work with you to craft a look that not only says "you" but says "hey, you beautiful thing, how you doing?" After your cut, salve the jealousy your feet must be feeling with a soothing pedicure. Soaked in silky emollients, your feet will drink deeply and then lie limply during their subsequent cuticle conditioning, exfoliation, and callus removal. Like any good Bollywood movie, there's a happy ending: a calf massage, nail polish, and a last-minute wedding.
