Unlike open-heart surgery or removing a squirrel taped to the upper back, a haircut is rarely a successful do-it-yourself project. Leave it to a professional with today’s Groupon: for $79, you get a haircut (a $65 value) and a partial-foil treatment (a $100 value) from Arpad Kadarkay, a senior stylist at Obadiah Salon in Bellevue (a $165 total value).

Over his 13 years of noggin-pruning experience, Arpad Kadarkay has tamed the high-profile hairdos of celebrities such as Claire Danes, Sandra Bullock, and Cameron Diaz. Tailoring his star-quality techniques to suit the everyday needs of his clients at Obadiah, Arpad trims locks to complement each individual's cheek bones, fashion sense, and need to add height in order to score a seat on the newest carnival ride. To enhance updated hair shapes, Arpad strategically applies foils to bestow strands with luminous highlights that reflect the light of the setting sun or the office disco ball.

Heads get happy in an elegant environment replete with high glass mirrors, clean white walls, and classically sleek décor. Nab today’s Groupon to shape up your scalp blanket in time for midsummer, or gift it to a manic-maned friend looking to break her dependence on poke bonnets.
