The distinct connection between mind and body began with a bumbling blind date set up by the passionate psyche. Let your mind and body enjoy each others company with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a 60-minute hot-stone massage (a $90 value) or a hot-stone facial (a $90 value) at Pure Image Salon & Spa in the South Hills.

Pure Image Salon & Spa is a full-service double-decker bulwark of beauty brimming with rejuvenating potential. Extract agitated emotions and iron out aches with an hour-long hot-stone massage, reducing tension and releasing knots. The heated basalt stones are intricately arranged into stress soothing shapes on the body, mostly in the form of animal crackers, drawing stress from the muscles with hot, hot heat. For forlorn faces, the hot-stone facial uses the same principles, same smooth, heated basalt stones, and same magical incantations on pressure points along the face and neck. The warmth and weight unburden stressed facial muscles and loosen necks, balancing the body and clearing the mind. During the visit, patrons are plied with complimentary refreshments to quell their innards' jealousy of all the outward attention.

Recently remodeled, the spa's upstairs level—home to styling, waxing, and nail-curing stations—sports plump black leather chairs, rich burgundy walls, and a stately courtyard mural, bringing to mind Mediterranean villas and the ancient healing huts of Roman aristocracy.
