Early humans believed that hair was actually tentacles of an octopus living inside their skull—an amusingly quaint notion now that modern science has proven it's technically a cuttlefish. Indulge your inner invertebrate with today's Groupon for a Kerastase treatment ($35), precision haircut ($40–$50), and signature manicure ($18) at the A.F. Bennett Salon and Wellness Spa on Staten Island. A.F. Bennett's strand-shapers calm down follicle storms with adroitly applied cuts and layers to reveal serene hairscapes of rolling waves and sleek straight-aways. Next, stylists bathe coiffures with Kerastase Aqua-Oleum, pumping up fine threads into glossy, bouncy head coats. To make it easier for inquisitive digits to think their way out of Chinese finger traps, hands will receive a soothing soak and massage before finger helmets are buffed and shaped for daily activities.

Reviews

Although A.F. Bennett Salon and Wellness Spa has a 2.5-star average from four Yelpers, it has an editorial review from Time Out New York and a four-star average from Insider Pagers:

• With English accents, cherry wood flooring and French and Italian furnishings, the serene space is reminiscent of old world Europe, while the spa is inspired by the far East. – Time Out New York
• I went here for a massage and the people here are so nice and friendly. In addition to "wellness" packages, it is also a full service salon that has waxing, tanning, & hair care, so you'll find whatever you need here. – Jackie M., Insider Pages
• I have been going to AF Bennett for many years now and overall the experience has been A++++ – Michelle P., Insider Pages
