The earliest salons were informal gatherings at which B-list philosophers gibbered away so they couldn't hear themselves dying of plague. Get an earful of the modern salon’s soothing hair-dryer purrs and scissor chop-chops instead with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $100 worth of services at Phillip Michael Salon & Spa in Wyoming. This Groupon is only good for new clients.

Phillip Michael offers an array of salon and spa services behind a warm and charming storefront. Hair services include cuts ($28+ for women, $22+ for men), flat-iron styling ($20+), coloring ($50+), and highlights ($70+) for lion manes infested with damaging micro-cyclones. Reap the benefits of a bikini ($50+) and lower-leg waxing ($60+) and feel confident stepping outside in this season's revealing bloomers, or opt for the back wax ($50+) and turn your stern into a living canvas for mall-kiosk celebrity portraits. Inject a dose of healing into world-weary backs with an hour-long massage (60+), or release underground reservoirs of oil and detritus with a beautifying facial ($60+). Other services include perms ($70+), manicures ($20+), and pedicures ($45+) for a fully grown beauty bounty.

Phillip Michael's interior is awash in red-orange hues and soft lighting, and wooden fixtures add a touch of Old-World charm. The salon and spa environment is an ideal place to relax or camouflage a purse full of stolen Maine lobsters and Swedish fish. Let Phillip Michael's experienced stylists and aestheticians discipline unruly head strings into golden retriever–like obedience and buff skin as brightly as a banana-peel-shined shoe.
