$149 for a Spa Day with a Facial, Mani-Pedi, Makeup, and a Hairstyle at Kalista Salon & Day Spa (Up to $413 Value)
Like garden weeds, nails continue to grow no matter how frequently you nibble on them. Tend your digital plots with today’s Groupon: for $149, you get a spa day (up to a $413 total value) at Kalista Salon & Day Spa . The package includes the following: An Indulge Me! anti-aging facial (a $200 value) A spa manicure (a $38 value) A spa pedicure (a $50 value) A makeup application (up to a $75 value) A hairstyle by a junior, senior, or master stylist (up to a $50 value) The talented staff at Kalista Salon & Day Spa, a Keune-concept salon, employ organic and cruelty-free products to pamper clients from head to toe. The 90-minute Indulge Me! facial rejuvenates pores with a multivitamin mask and anti-aging serum, and a dose of LED light therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production, in turn reducing the appearance of fine lines and sun spots shaped like the moon. During the facial, shoulders relax as soothing hands invigorate the spine and ease tension. A spa mani-pedi treats appendage tips to a soothing soak, sea-salt scrub, and deep dermal mask before technicians groom and paint nails a colorful new hue. Bold or subtle shades also migrate to the lips, cheeks, and eyelids during an expert makeup application by a wand-wielding artist or an elephant holding a paintbrush in its trunk. As a finishing touch, a junior, senior or master stylist tames and teases coiffures into flattering ‘dos. Kalista Salon & Day Spa will soon be changing its name to Hey Beautiful Salon and Day Spa. Though Kalista Salon & Day Spa sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

$59 for Two Salt-Room-Therapy Sessions for Two at Salt Grotto (Up to $120 Value)
Salt enhances flavor, preserves food, and, when thrown over the shoulder, wards off oncoming slugs. Explore nature’s most versatile compound with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get two salt-room therapy sessions for two at the Salt Grotto (up to a $120 value). Imported salt lines the Salt Grotto’s cave-like salt room, infusing the air with relaxing, therapeutic particles and creating a natural microclimate. Four-inch-deep heaps of mineral-rich Dead Sea crystals, shaken out of the Morton girl’s umbrella, pad the footfalls of guests entering the salt-saturated sanctuary. As guests settle into ergonomic loungers arranged in a loose circle beneath swooping crimson banners, they inhale negative ions exuded by nuggets imported from Poland and Pakistan. Sodium chloride, which has antifungal properties, purifies the salt room’s environment from every angle as a gentle waterfall adds natural music to 45-minute relaxation sessions. Adults de-stress under soft blankets as children retire to a sandy play area, where they can race toy trucks or begin digging tunnels to Canada. Cave sessions can ease symptoms of health conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and eczema, with repeated visits enhancing one’s ability to withstand bland conversations and survive peppermill throw-downs.
