Nail polish was invented around 3000 BC in ancient China—a fact that's doubly remarkable considering that human fingernails were only invented last year. Celebrate this admirable foresight with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a mani-pedi and your choice of a brow or lip wax at StudioFX (a $52 value).

With more than 30 years of experience in beautifying bodies, StudioFX woos Syracuse University students and lovely locals inside an energetic arena of stylish services. Transform bodies into glowing beauty beacons with two tantalizing treatments, including a basic mani-pedi, which furbishes hands and adds a velvety texture to haggard feet ($42). Nails are soaked, shaped, and buffed as skin is slathered in exfoliating lotions, rough patches are smoothed, and finger helmets are finished with a choice of polish. Rid scraggly mugs of follicular debris with a lip or brow waxing ($10).

StudioFX hosts a crowd of talented stylists and technicians who keep skills sharp with continuing educational classes and beginning each day with a one-mile, scissor-sharpening run. To reach full inner diva potential, both services must be used in one visit.
