Overgrown hair prevents scalps from burning under the sun's harsh gaze, but exponentially increases autograph requests for your work with Flock of Seagulls. Avoid cases of mistaken identity with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of hair and waxing services at Faux Real Hair Design Studio.

Voted 2011's Best Hair Salon by KCBD, Faux Real Hair Design Studio transforms shapeless hair into covetous coiffures. Faux Real's mane manicurists deftly wield shaping scissors, taming the shaggy locks of men ($14) or crafting face-complementing cuts for women ($25–$35). Enhance strands with natural all-over color ($65), highlights ($75+). Eyebrows thirsting for follicular attention will arch in surprise at the clean looks left bobbing in the wake of an eyebrow wax ($12).

Aristocratic boudoirs and styling chairs act as outposts on an open-air salon frontier, safely surrounding a team of plush couches huddled in the interior. With a heart that beats for more than hair, Faux Real's staff stands out among top stylists by hosting events such as Cuts for the Cure—a breast-cancer awareness event—and by always knowing what they want before getting in line at a drive-thru.
