Today's $20 Groupon gets you a $50-value MVP haircut at the sports-themed Reeder's Barbershop. Being an MVP at Reeder's (which looks sort of like a basketball court with blue stars painted on glossy hardwood) means one of its stylish stylists gives you a head massage, hand massage, hot towel, and nape shave with your haircut. If a lovely lady making hair-magic doesn't entertain you, a free beer or soda and a private flatscreen with DirecTV access probably will. If that still doesn't entertain you, request access to the barbershop's underground hybrid-animal petting zoo. But the haircut should be cause enough to head to 11515 W. Pico Blvd.; Reeder's is so sure its savvy stylists give the best trim in LA that it's free if you don't like it.

At Treat, aestheticians employ the skincare boutique's large assortment of all-natural and difficult-to-find products to rejuvenate clients' bodies and minds. To combat signs of aging, aestheticians nourish skin during all-natural facials using formulas from a choice of five different lines, including Darphin, Éminence Organic Skin Care, and Arcona. When patrons enter the store for waxing, tinting services, or a relaxing Swedish massage, they are greeted with scents such as the lily and jasmine home fragrances by kai, each reminiscent of a morning walk through the garden or a leisurely childhood as a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Ambience MediSpa reinvigorates faces and physiques with pampering services that range from massages to moisturizing facials. Muscles sigh in collective relief as therapists untie knots of tension and exorcise stress-causing sprites lodged in lower backs. Dimples on thighs and derrières succumb to Lumicell Touch cellulite treatments, which increase blood circulation and oxygenate skin for a smoother appearance. European facials revivify visages with a deep-cleansing scrub, a soothing aromatherapy massage, and a hydrating mask. Sun-damaged skin travels back in time with the help of IPL photofacials and VI peels that stimulate collagen production to imbue faces with the youthful energy of a swim instructor at the Fountain of Youth.

Shine Blow Dry Bar offers upscale blow-dry services to residents of Santa Barbara and beyond. During treatments, a team of expert stylists wash hair with fragrant and hydrating shampoos as guests sip champagne or nibble gourmet cupcakes. After relaxing scalp massages, the stylists break out the blow-dryers, fluffing and curling hair into red-carpet-ready ‘dos that are perfect for special occasions or memorable nights out. Shine currently operates two locations, both sporting a classic, feminine vibe with cream-colored walls, sparkling chandeliers, and ornate mirrors that reflect each guest's elaborate princess gown.

Depending on their beauty goals, the clients of About Faces Salon & Spa report to one of several aesthetic divisions. Owner Denise Walden Cooper, for example, acts as the resident skincare expert. With her aesthetics team behind her, she leads the fight against blemishes and signs of aging with products from Dermalogica and Jane Iredale. She also takes advantage of newer technologies, such as a facial add-on that uses stem cells from plants, striving to increase collagen production and allow flowers placed behind your ear to root there permanently.

Across the space, whose beige walls are accented by oversize mirrors, wooden salon stations, and shelving stocked with colorful products for sale, hairstylists craft both edgy and simple 'dos. Their Redken, Goldwell, and Pureology formulas nourish and color locks, and their complex updos prep clients for big events. Mani-pedis, waxing services, body treatments, and massages round out the salon's menu, which readily accommodates large groups and wedding parties.
