Medi-spas are infinitely preferable to shredi-spas—establishments frequented by folks who want their skin and hair to look and feel like torn newspaper. Dodge the skin-staining properties of ink in favor of the skin-beautifying properties of today's deal: for $99, new clients get a beauty-services package at Melange Medical Spa & Salon, located just south of the Cherry Creek shopping center in Bonnie Brae. The package includes a facial, a manicure, a haircut and style, and your choice of one laser hair-removal session or a hydrafacial microdermabrasion (up to a $345 total value depending on service selections). As a bonus, you will receive a 50% discount on any laser hair-removal packages purchased while redeeming your Groupon. The services do not need to be redeemed in one visit.

Each flower in the bouquet of services is tailored to fit individual needs and skin types. The comprehensive revivification begins with a half-hour basic facial (a $60 value) to clear pores of Silly Putty, sparking a warm glow. Next, digit caps receive some TLC with a one-hour spa manicure (a $35 value), with "No Scrubs" playing in the background. Once fingertips are in check, hair tips will be cut, shampooed, and styled to meet personal preferences (a $50 value). Laser hair removal is available for curious cats and scheming supervillains—you get one session in one area such as the underarms, brow, upper lip, chin, cheek, or sideburns ($150–$200 value). If lasers aren't your bag of Fritos, opt for the hydrafacial microdermabrasion instead, which hydrates as it exfoliates to deeply clean the skin of dead skin cells and impurities.

Melange is a full-service hair and nail salon in addition to being a full-service medical spa. Every facet of the human body can find its helpful counterpart at the medi-spa, from face skin and hair follicles to third arms and anterior tentacles. Melange's calming, warm-hued interior belies its beehive-level complexity and myriad services. Call ahead to schedule your appointment.
