When a nationally acclaimed troupe of hair-crobats comes to your cottage to whisk you away on their travelling wig wagon, be waiting for them with your follicular A-game with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a hair consultation, wash, cut, style, and scalp treatment (a $79.10 total value including HST) at Salon Verve in Maple.

A L'Oréal Professionnel salon, Salon Verve's highly trained staff specializes in precision cuts that harness runway style, crafting flattering, head-turning coiffures in the process. Your follicular makeover begins with a consultation, wherein such important style decisions as "short or long" and "GI Elvis or Seventies Elvis" take to the discussion main stage (starting at $45). Next, the certified stylist washes hair, briskly lathering locks the way only professional fingers can, and anoints heads with a luxurious, long-lasting scalp treatment ($25 for long-lasting treatment). Salon goers then wend their way to the cutting station, where strands are snipped and shaped. Finally, the fresh cut gets the styling it requires to flounce out the doors and glossily blind unsuspecting passersby.

The friendly, unpretentious hair maestros at Salon Verve keep style high and snobbery low. Filled with a bustling symphony of blow dryers and chatty clients, Salon Verve's light-filled, modern atmosphere pervades, meaning that eavesdropping for tips to constructing the perfect industrial laser shouldn’t be too difficult.
