If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, then disheveled hair provides the least efficient route for climbing monkeys to reach the bananas in your fruit hat. Today's Groupon tames tresses for easy scaling: for $150, you get a Royal keratin treatment at Jacob Neal Salon in the Short North. Chosen as one of Elle magazine's Top 100 Salons in 2009, Jacob Neal Salon has performed multiple tours of duty in the war against split ends from NYC to C-Bus. The Royal keratin treatment flattens mad-scientist manes, temporarily sedating laboratorial locks with a highly effective dose of Straighten My Hair Brazilian keratin treatment. 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.
