A hairstyle can reveal a lot about a person's personality—smooth hair indicates elegance and control, whereas frizzy hair indicates an affinity for horror movies and negatively charged balloons. Send a subtler message with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a Brazilian-blowout keratin smoothing treatment at A Day Away Salon & Spa (a $200 value). This Groupon is valid with stylist Shelly Foust.

Veteran stylist Shelly Foust defuses hazardous hairdos with Brazilian-blowout treatments that use formaldehyde-free Matrix Opti Smooth products to combat frizz. Over the span of approximately 90 minutes, the strand-straightening specialist coats frazzled follicles with a smoothing blend of vitamin-rich keratin proteins. The solution's complex amino acids infiltrate hair shafts down to the cuticle to repair internal damage while simultaneously protecting the outside against sun damage and vacuum-cleaner-related styling mishaps. When the hair refurbishment is complete, strands emerge straight, soft, and manageable.

As stylists maintain the top of the human totem pole, guests can occupy their eyes with the salon's sturdy hardwood floors, green and red walls, and ornamental plant life. A wall divider between each style station provides ample privacy, and luxurious drapes keep the flow of natural light regulated between gentle and quite flattering.
