After a long day of besieging steppe settlements, the Mongol hordes liked to kick back with a vigorous massage, a copy of the Daily Khan, and a nice warm glass of fermented yak's milk. Conquer your own serenity with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get $100 worth of spa services at Adela's Color Salon and Spa, located in Brentwood.
Adela Color Salon and Spa's bevy of experienced stylists, massage therapists, and aestheticians pamper and beautify clients with a complete array of salon and spa services. Reward faces for years of emotive service with one of Adela’s facials, all of which include an upper back, neck, chest, and hand massage and last for an hour (unless otherwise noted). The European facial—recommended for all skin types—cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts gunk from the skin’s service, rejuvenating faces with an antioxidant punch customized for each client’s unique skin needs ($60). Or, to concentrate pampering on stylable portions of the head, opt for salon services. Adela’s hair mavens will revamp tired follicle feathers with color ($30+), partial highlights ($35+), and a plethora of other hair services, including cuts for men ($20+), women ($30+), and kids ($25). Eradicate and evict hair that insists on cropping up unwanted elsewhere on the body with Adela’s waxing services, which cover anything from the brows ($15) to the bikini area ($35–$75).
At Adela's, relaxation begins upon arrival, with a complimentary glass of wine, hot tea, or freshly brewed coffee greeting clients at the door. Unwind before overhauling a look or settle in with a beverage before routine head maintenance and leave feeling renewed inside, outside, and inside again.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Cowpeople
Although commonly dismissed as legend, like Sasquatch and Zachary Taylor, cowboys and cowgirls were very real, and their culture still influences our own today. How have some of their rituals evolved into modern incarnations?
Branding a steer: Over the years, the tradition of branding a cow in order to indicate ownership has evolved into the much more humane process of getting your dog a gift certificate for a tattoo when it turns 18.
Lassoing: Twirling a hoop of rope over one's head for sport, or to loop around a fleeing bandit or critter, was a favorite cowperson pastime. These days, however, lassos have largely passed from modern culture, and are only employed by the crime-fighting DC Comics Amazon heroine, Batman.
Spitting: All but extinct. Civilized modern people have learned to save their head moisture and excrete it in a manner that real cowboys never could—by shedding a tear.
