Eyelashes developed as a defense mechanism against eyelashes, a common ancient punishment performed with a rudimentary eyelash curler made of old swords. Extend your ocular gatekeepers with today's Groupon: for $150, you get a set of eyelash extensions, plus 20% off your first follow-up touch-up, at Studio 24 SalonSpa (up to a $313 value), located in Portage.

Chosen as Salon of the Year by Nails magazine, Studio 24 not only spruces up face-framing follicles and keratin claws, but also tinkers in the mystical art of skincare. Popular among celebrities and wild dromedaries, the Xtreme Lashes eyelash-extension process involves applying synthetic strands one-by-one onto each natural lash to lengthen and thicken eye curtains. With routine touch-ups averaging every two–four weeks, the lashes can maintain their fervor indefinitely—perfect for butterfly kissing contests.

With more than 3,000 square feet of salon and spa space, Studio 24's earthy, urban interior also offers guests complimentary coffee service and WiFi. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
