Before battle, samurai warriors gently exfoliated and deeply cleansed their pores so they could slay foes with one sexy glance. Become an aesthetic warrior with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a fully loaded day at the spa, including a one-hour Swedish massage (a $55 value), a one-hour European-style facial (a $65 value), and a shampoo and haircut (a $40 value) at Tuscany Day Spa.

Certified adorable by the Cute Salons Association, Tuscany tucks itself into a homelike spot just west of downtown, off Colorado Ave. Step through the doorway into a massage room, where the light, flowing strokes of Swedish massage stokes a burned-out body with renewed life and improved circulation. From there, you'll face dive into a European facial that deeply cleanses your pores and puts a metaphorical leaf blower on dead, clingy skin cells, unveiling new shoots of radiance below. Topped with a freshly shampooed and snipped head of hair, you'll look so sharp that the horse-drawn-carriage driver won't recognize you when you step out the door.

As an added bonus, Groupon customers who enjoy the experience will receive half off three mini spa services if they book a "Sparty" for themselves and seven or more friends (you pay $22.50, each of your friends pays $45).
