Being beautiful is hard work, which is why, when viewed up close, most supermodels resemble elderly oil-rig workers. Amplify your allure free from unwashable grease stains with today's Groupon: for $23, you get a spa package that includes a haircut with blow-dry styling (a $10 value), manicure (a $5 value), pedicure (a $15 value), paraffin dip (a $10 value), facial (a $10 value), and brow waxing (a $5 value) from Salon Cosmetique at Vatterott College in St. Charles.

Salon Cosmetique performs feats of beauty for chic-seeking clients while training up the latest crop of student stylists. Apprentice appearance-alterers perform prettifying services under the watchful eye of licensed, certified instructors. Spa packages include a manicure and pedicure to spruce up dainty digits and polish chipped cuticles, and a paraffin dip seals in all-important moisture, leaving fingers soft enough to comfortably tickle sun-burnt jellyfish. A relaxing facial cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates thirsty pores, before the eyebrow wax clearly sculpts follicle forehead gardens. Finally, locks get snipped into shape during a haircut and finessed into breeze-blown style, allowing salon-goers to look as if they're best friends with a fashionable wind tunnel.
