Unlike open-heart surgery or removing a squirrel taped to the upper back, a haircut is rarely a successful do-it-yourself project. Enlist the help of others with today’s Groupon to Kami Hair. Choose between the following options:

• For $15, you get a haircut and style from a junior stylist (a $30 value).
• For $50, you get a haircut and style from NYC designer stylist Yoshi Shiraki (a $108 value).

Open for more than 30 years, Kami Hair employs an experienced staff that refreshes looks with precision-focused cuts and styles. A careful cut at the hands of a junior stylist can banish split ends or create an entirely new look all from the comfort of one of the salon’s chairs, and a finishing blow dry smoothes tresses into a desirable new ‘do perfect for everyday activities or bi-millennial planetary eclipses. Armed with training from Vidal Sassoon and experience working with famous noggins such as Anderson Cooper and Joan Osborne, designer stylist Yoshi Shiraki treats tresses to a 30- to 60-minute therapy session that includes a precision cut, blow dry, and past-life regression to channel hair’s inner Marie Antoinette. Clients leave Yoshi’s deft hands with a fresh style they can recreate at home.
