Relaxation and beauty often go hand in hand, whereas jealousy and dignity prefer grisly hand-to-hand combat. Give beauty a fighting chance with today's Groupon: for $100, you get $200 worth of services at Ipsa for Hair in Georgetown.

Fortified in the nutrient-rich Barbicide baths of the best salons in Europe and the States, the stylists and colorists of Ipsa have the training and retractable shears necessary to take on any hair type. At the start of each appointment, amiable aestheticians provide a thorough consultation and ease you into indulgence with a relaxing scalp massage. Once in the chair, choose from Ipsa's myriad strand-centric services. Style-seeking ladies can trim their tresses and color their coifs with a women's cut ($90) and single-process color ($90). For a more dichromatic look, opt for a partial highlight with single-process color ($200).

Ipsa uses and sells natural products, arming clients against bad hair days with an arsenal of botanicals, waxes, and WWII-era plasma cannons. Earth tones and hardwood floors lend the salon a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere, and optional valet parking extends the pampering curbside.

Reviews

Five Yelpers give Ipsa for Hair a perfect of five stars and say:

• Wonderful experience from when I entered the salon to when I left. The atmosphere was cool and relaxing, and the color (highlights) and cut I received was exactly what I was picturing! It really is tough, in my experience, to get BOTH to turn out so well. – Leslie R.
• I am very particular about where I get my hair highlighted and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The 15 minute head massage is amazing. It is my favorite part about going to IPSA. – Anne C.
