When mothers first sprinkle a baby's bald head with water and fertilizers, they can only guess how the ensuing hair will grow. Take control of your own wildly growing follicles with today's Groupon: for $35, you get $75 worth of hair services at Salon Radiance in two La Mesa locations.
Salon Radiance enlists a cadre of experienced stylists to bestow on clients a menu of services for their hair. Reward favored locks with an accentuating, sun-kissed glow during a partial highlight ($75+) or mold manes into a scale model of a finished Crazy Horse monument with an updo ($50+). The basic haircut, revamps looks with a shampoo, trim, and style ($40 for women; $25 for men), while the fortifying hair treatment infuses manes with a concoction of 17 amino acids, botanicals, and moisture, sealing in the health-boosting results with steamed heat ($45). For heads tired of walking the straight and narrow, the permanent wave treatment adds bounce by imbuing follicles with curl and an appreciation of the Slinky ($75+).

The Groupon Guide to: Bird Watching
There's nothing more peaceful than spending a day in a forest observing birds feeding their young or building a nest out of discarded pizza crusts. Before you embark on your next bird-spying mission, brush up on the basics:
- Packing light ensures you'll have plenty of space to bring birds home with you, which makes future bird-watching trips as easy as letting them out of your backpack so they can hover around your basement.
- Learn birdcalls to dupe the birds into coming to you. Birds usually won't approach you because the sight of a human reminds them that some of their ancestors once betrayed their avian roots by evolving into featherless, flightless homunculi.
- Binoculars will become your best friend on the trip, as your actual best friend will likely be pricked by a bird's razor-like, toxin-producing stinger. If your binoculars are encased in a tumbled-leather protector, clutching them in a moment of fear will feel no different that clutching your friend, should he or she have been heavily tanned.
- Record your findings using the field guide, either by writing in the margins or ripping out the pages to create a papier-mâché cast of its body.
