Having frizzy, unkempt hair can make you appear unhinged during job interviews, first dates, and shouting matches with the neighbor's bush. Keep it together with today's Groupon: for $150, you get a Royal Keratin treatment at Jacob Neal Salon in the Short North (a $350 value).

Acclaimed in the salon community, Jacob Neal has performed multiple tours of duty in the war against split ends from NYC to C-Bus. Every stylist at Jacob Neal Salon receives in-depth training from the beloved hair hero himself, which includes vision quests, blindfolded hair extensioning, and shampoo taste tests. The Royal Keratin treatment is a double-duty process that tames wild hair both inside and out. Keratin, which is a protein-based liquid, penetrates the hair shaft to repair internal damage with added strength, elasticity, and moisture, and coats the strands to protect from further water and heat damage and to enhance natural shine. For most people, this results in smoother, more manageable hair with decreased blow-dry and styling time. As with teeth brushing, it is recommended to have this treatment redone every two to four months.

Jacob Neal's compact studio, with its high ceilings and brick interiors, will make you feel like you're in your own classy one-act play. That sophistication will be directly infused into every follicle, making the sloppiest of Ultimate Frisbee players feel like a cast member in a Broadway revival of The Philadelphia Story. For your convenience, it's recommended that you make your appointment one to two weeks in advance.
