Well-tended manicures impress eyes with bright colors, perfectly symmetrical nails, and flawless form when throwing up the horns. Rock a professionally polished look with today's Groupon: for $24, you get a no-chip manicure, sugar scrub, and paraffin dip ($50 value) at Ida's Salon in Northbrook. With a preternatural knack for all things aesthetic, the skilled nail technicians at Ida's Salon execute comprehensive hand-beautification projects with no-chip manicures and skin-soothing hand treatments. Sealed in with strong shellacs, Ida's nail treatments hold up under pressures including cab hailing, bread punching, and finger-picking the first part of "Dueling Banjos." During the 90-minute treatment, warm wax soothes worried joints and hydrates the skin ultra-deeply during the paraffin dip, and the sugar scrub exfoliates away dermal detritus and any remnants of a Bic-pen tic-tac-toe tournament.
