If your eyes are the windows to your soul, your hair is the tunnel to your mind. Keep your mind-matter from escaping with today's hair-taming Groupon: for $35, you get a haircut (up to a $55 value), a single-process color (a $60 value), and a conditioning treatment (up to a $25 value) at Beleza Couture Studio in Durham (up to a $140 total value).
Along with free WiFi for all patrons, Beleza offers a full menu of haircare services, from couture cuts to tasteful tints. During the haircut, a professional scissor-wielder meticulously manicures manes, snipping off split ends and adding layers and topiary-like style if desired. A stylist then jolts hair into vibrancy with a single-process color. A choice of a protein, moisturizing, steam-therapy, or custom deep-conditioning treatment douses head helmets in hydration, leaving hair silkier than a silkworm cover of a Marvin Gaye song.
Recline in onyx-hued chairs and dip your mane back into jet-black head tubs inside the streamlined salon. Bold crimson accents and expansive front windows give the space a modern, industrial feel, much like a haute couture flying-car factory.
Though Beleza Couture Studio sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.

The Groupon Guide to: Barbecue Secrets
Every barbecue joint boasts a secret ingredient or technique that makes its sauce unlike any other. Since most barbecue chefs have taken these secrets to the grave, here's a new list of public-domain barbecue secrets for the aspiring grillsman:
- Throw recipe thieves off your trail by filling your sauce with decoy ingredients such as talc, water, and heaping spoonfuls of rival sauces.
- Age your sauce in an oak cask for 15 years—it doesn't do anything, but you'll sure be hungry by then.
- Go bananas—add bananas to your sauce!
- BBQ is short for B.B. Queen—the wife of legendary bluesman B.B. King—and real barbecue sauce must contain exactly one of her soulful tears.
- As with success in any field, the real secret ingredient is confidence —except in barbecue sauces, in which it is horseradish.
