What You'll Get
Hair is a privilege granted to only the most deserving species, as evidenced by the shining grace of the charitable flamingo and the conspicuous lack of fur on the nest-wrecking bald beagle. Groom your hirsute badge of honor with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a design cut, deep-conditioning treatment, blow-dry, and style (up to a $90 value) at Essentials Day Spa and Salon, located inside the DoubleTree Hotel in Claremont.
Essentials Day Spa and Salon’s coiffure specialists spruce up 'dos of both men and women by relying upon artful anticipation and conceptual translation. Post-trim, the style team treats parched strands to a hydrating conditioning treatment designed for all manner of manes. These treatments are available in four distinct varieties: the Color Extend for dye devotees, the Time Release for aging pelts, the Extreme Moisture to slake head thirst, and the All Soft variety for hair that has gone dry or recently caught the attention of a rogue cement truck.
Groupon holders can arrive with specific directions or allow the salon to sculpt on the fly. No matter how the locks fall, all resident stylists will be participating in today’s deal, allowing incoming clients to pair up with a shears-savvy staffer that suits both their personality and style.

About Essentials Day Spa and Salon
Guests searching for Essentials Day Spa and Salon will find it discretely nestled at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains inside the DoubleTree by Hilton Claremont hotel. Calming music fills the air as staffers enhance clients' natural beauty in equally elegant rooms enhanced by rich, dark wood accents and ornate, gold-framed mirrors. Hair stylists and color specialists create new looks with products such as Redken and Pureology, and aestheticians exfoliate and hydrate skin during facials, pulling complexion-revitalizing tonics from the highly customizable Dermalogica line. Massage therapists ease muscle tension with four different modalities and reflexology treatments, and the team also soothes the nerves of clients hearing wedding bells or suffering from tinnitus with all-encompassing bridal packages.
While devoting countless hours of their creativity and skill to making human beings more beautiful, Essentials' staff also remains mindful of the health and beauty of both the environment and the local community. Day-to-day efforts include recycling all possible materials, recycling or donating old equipment, and using only biodegradable laundry soap. They frequently donate to local schools and charities, and collect hair for the Matter of Trust Foundation, which uses shed strands to help clean up oil spills and build toupees for balding walruses.
