Scheduling a trip to the salon can get you out of unwanted obligations such as having neighbors over to cut your hair with garden shears. Avoid dreaded tasks with today's Groupon to Transformation Salon and Spa in Puyallup. Choose from the following options:

• For $19, you get a cut and style (a $40 value).
• For $45, you get a cut and style (a $40 value) with a partial foil (an $80 value), (a $120 total value).
For $99, you get a 90-minute Brazilian blowout (a $250 value).

Transformation Salon and Spa's amiable staff of licensed beautifiers rolls out radiant new looks using sulfate-free Kenra Platinum and Farouk Royal Treatment products. During a cut and style, expert stylists shear and shape unruly locks into fresh new 'dos or braided sculptures of Millard Fillmore, after which they can further follicular overhauls by highlighting hair via strategically placed foils. Alternatively, a 90-minute Brazilian blowout can arm head-fur against frizz with a protective layer of keratin protein. Shampoo preps strands for a smoothing elixir combed from root to tip before tress-tamers seal-in shine with a blow-dry and wax seals imprinted with Fabio's family crest. Flatirons subdue lingering flyaways as stylists steep tendrils in the Brazilian Blowout Mask and Smoothing Serum, topped off by a final session under the blow-dryer's balmy waves.

Hardwood floors spread out under styling stations in Transformation Salon and Spa's brightly lit space, catching snipped-off locks on their flawlessly smooth tan surface. Pops of vibrant scarlet and ebony on walls, chairs, and tables underscore tonsorial looks fresher than a spring shower of lemonade.

Some Brazilian blowout products include the carcinogen formaldehyde, which may cause nosebleeds, headaches, vomiting, and respiratory problems, among other side effects. Learn more about the health risks here.
