Unlike open-heart surgery or removing a squirrel taped to the upper back, a haircut is rarely a successful do-it-yourself project. Relish expert assistance with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a customized conditioning treatment (a $45 value) and a regular- or director-level cut, blow-dry, and style (up to a $250 value) at Amoy Couture Hair (up to a $295 total value).

Stylists at Amoy Couture Hair clip strands into high-fashion coifs tested and approved by salon owner Amoy Pitters on her own sleek locks. Clients pick one of the salon’s skilled stylists for a regular cut, blow-dry, and style (a $150 value), or put their Groupon toward a spin in Amoy’s chair for her director-level cut, blow-dry, and style (a $250 value). After clients cross the salon’s sunny, modern, dark-wood interior to settle into a pearl-white styling throne, their chosen tress tamer will consult with them about hair type and styling needs before lathering up hair in a gentle shampoo, finished by a soothing scalp massage to set even full-time stockbroker’s strands at ease. The stylist prepares and applies a customized conditioning treatment using René Furterer products, including the deep-conditioning Karité cream, penetrating each strand with a citrusy aroma and rich moisture from shea butter and quince extracts. Once the stylist rinses the treatment away, hair enjoys a meticulous trimming to the client’s desired length, the stylist employing high-fashion strategies until faces look as framed as the Mona Lisa or Roger Rabbit. The treatment concludes with a blow-dry and expert style for ode-inspiring beauty.
