What You'll Get
The problem with invisibility is that cloak fashions fade rapidly and past-season trends don't capture anyone's eyes for resale. Manage your appearance in a more sustainable way with today's Groupon: for $32, you get one basic manicure (a $15 value) plus one choco-therapy pedicure (a $59 value) at Bisou Nail Lounge in Oakland. Dedicated to all-natural nail enhancement, Bisou Nail Lounge utilizes organic and eco-friendly products in order to fulfill all digital and conservational desires.
The day at the day spa starts with a basic manicure that’s designed trim, sculpt, and buff the far reaches of your fingerly parts. More than just a touch-up, the basic manicure is intended to craftily color your nails for a summer's worth of glamorous pointing and doorbell ringing. The overhaul moves from tips to toes when the choco-therapy pedicure begins with an indulgent French cocoa absolute bubble bath followed by a careful detailing utilizing fresh, cleaned, stainless implements. All the little piggies go to market in style under an antioxidant-rich organic cocoa butter scrub, and all are renewed beneath a Peruvian chocolate mask.
In the interest of totality, your feet remain raised for a 10-minute Bliss Crème massage complemented with a guest appearance by the staff's guilt-free pleasure: 100% Peruvian chocolate. As a testament to Bisou Nail Lounge's diligent sanitization methods, the staff will let you take your handily abrasive volcanic stone home with you for future care or unexpected science fairs.

About Bisou Nail Lounge
The technicians at Bisou Nail Lounge go above and beyond to create works of nail art using gel paint, jewels, and glitter polish. But before intricate designs of butterflies and Gary Busey on a steed are handcrafted, digits are refreshed with organic and eco-friendly products during mani-pedis. A volcanic clay mask and Dead Sea salt scrub help to purify the skin while cabernet grape extract oil and the salon's own line of organic coca butter nourish and moisturize. Harsh chemicals are also exempt from Bisou's footsoaks, enhanced with limes, rose petals, and mint leaves floating in a non-whirlpool, stainless steel bowl, and UV-gels from Bella Forma, Calgel, Bio Sculpture, or Crystal Nails provide chip-resistant polish that is acid-free. The salon's earth-friendly ways are also showcased during Nova eyelash extension services as technicians carefully use a formaldehyde-free adhesive to adhere tree-sized extensions to existing lashes.
Bisou's attention to details can also be seen in the intimate salon's décor, a country French theme complete with pale pink wall colors, a gold chandelier, and plush, floral-covered furnishings.
