Eighty percent of America's cucumber crops go toward making pickles; the other 50 percent is distributed among spas for edible eye coverings. Harvest your senses with today's deal: for $45, you get $100 worth of beautifying treatments at Venus Allure Salon and Spa in Buckman.

Venus Allure Salon and Spa is a full-service spa, offering an array of salon and spa services, including massage and eyelash extensions, in a brand-new, airy loft space. Brighten your hair’s outlook with highlights ($95+) or change the way its storyline ends with a director's cut (women's $40+, men's $30+). Aesthetician Ann was trained at the Euro Institute of Holistic Skin Care and goes about each skincare treatment with a natural approach. Likewise, massage therapist Tracey concurrently soothes the mind and body during such treatments as the 90-minute deep-relaxation aroma massage ($100).

Unlike normal polishes that become sentient and run away from home within a week's time, long-lasting gel-polish overlays ($50) last for months. Soak feet in gorgeous custom-made pedicure bowls before getting trimmed and topped with the color chosen by your feet. Sit at the bar and sip a complimentary bar beverage while your nails dry, your hair processes, or your body returns to normal after a massage put you in a suspended state of claymation. And you can feel good about getting a good feeling from a new look: Venus Allure Salon and Spa just shipped out a collection of hair clippings to assist in cleaning up the Gulf Coast.
