Overplucked eyebrows make a person look permanently surprised. Undergroomed hairs of anywhere make a person look jungly. A Vanity Beauty Lounge waxing makes any body part—eyebrow, leg, armpit, elbow, etc.—look astonishingly attractive. This Groupon gets you $60 worth of waxing services for $30 at Vanity Beauty Lounge, the hip Financial District salon that 944 magazine calls "the perfect place for contemporary Marie Antoinette-types to get primped and pampered," despite the fact the no one has been beheaded there.
The friendly waxing experts at Vanity will debristle you front, back, upside, downside, and from side to side until the most devious hairs have been cast off as if they were ugly Legos. Services include Brazilian waxing ($55+), leg waxing ($35+), arm waxing ($40), chest waxing ($45+), and back waxing ($45+). Facial options include brow maintenance ($16), brow shaping ($25), cheek ($15), chin ($12), and lip waxing ($10). Not applicable: bottoms of feet, neighbors' pets, or using wax stripping to make crop circles.
Vanity Beauty Lounge is a clean and classy salon that looks more like the beautiful lounge of a French foot model than a typical salon. It's decorated in red and white with funky vintage flair mixed with modern designs. Call ahead to book your appointment. Redeem your Groupon Monday–Wednesday and receive $5 off a French lavender manicure (a $23 value).
