Ninety percent of all manicures are given to spies, whose hands are overworked by the intelligence world’s lengthy secret handshakes. Indulge double-duty digits with today's Groupon: for $40, you get a Gelish manicure and regular pedicure at Salon Beleza (a $90 value). Act quickly, as this deal expires three months from today.

Salon Beleza's experienced aestheticians provide one-on-one attention to hands and feet in an intimate and personal salon atmosphere. A member of the small, select staff buffs and shapes nails to pleasing impressions of square brackets, rounded half moons, or road signs that warn of curves ahead. Hands bathe in a moisturizing paraffin dip, where they read magazines to catch up on celebrity-hand gossip. A Gelish manicure, which takes about an hour, features an innovative gel that applies like a polish and cures as hands are placed under soothing heat. The Gelish can last for up to three weeks without chipping or peeling, protects nails from typing-related injuries, and soaks off in about 15 minutes. The regular pedicure seats tired torsos in a massage chair while tootsies lounge in a warm-water soak, refusing to emerge until cajoled with the promise of foot-flattering polish. Additional treatments, including a sea-salt scrub or foot mask ($10 each), though not included in today's deal, are available for an additional charge. Salon Beleza greets guests with warm red, gold, and bronze tones that invite relaxation, and a sleek, curvy reception desk adds a touch of modern flair, and doubles as a convenient stage upon which newly daubed fingernails can strut their stuff.
