If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, then disheveled hair provides the least efficient route for climbing monkeys to reach the bananas in your fruit hat. Today's Groupon tames tresses for easy scaling: for $150, you get a formaldehyde-free Brazilian blowout ($300 value) and 20% off any additional haircare at Salon JBU in Bellevue.

The engaging, friendly staff at Salon JBU smooth and fortify locks in a fun and welcoming environment. Unlike the entrees at mad-scientist galas, their Brazilian blowout treatment is formaldehyde-free and makes head foliage healthier. To achieve this follicular fitness, they coat each tress in a suit of protein-infused armor, protecting it from the harsh love of the atmosphere and birds looking for nest-building ingredients. For up to 12 weeks, hair dries naturally soft and frizz-free. The entire process takes less than 90 minutes and the results are immediately apparent. Today's Groupon gets strands smoothified for the holiday season, reducing time spent styling and encouraging a happy reunion with prodigal earmuffs.

Reviews

Four Yelpers, and Citysearchers give Salon JBU a five-star average:

• Ever since I found Just Between Us (JBU) salon, I found a haven of smart people with amazing talents. My wife and I started going to JBU when our favorite, super talented stylist moved there several years ago. We were happy to find that everyone at the salon provides the best haircuts and colors. Also, the staff at the counter work hard to make sure you are greeted with coffee, tea, or water. – Rob H., Yelp *I have been to JBU about 10 or 11 times so far, and each time, I've had a great experience…The environment as soon as I walked in was was a breath of fresh air from the other salons that I had entered. They offer you a drink: from Coffee's to Tea's to Water. The scenery inside is just splendid; the lighting and atmosphere is just serene. You'll have to go there to believe me, and trust me, its entirely worth it. – xpekted, Citysearch
