When a nationally acclaimed troupe of haircrobats comes to your cottage to whisk you away on their traveling wig wagon, be waiting for them with your follicular A-game. Today’s Groupon will spruce up your hair and other equally important body parts: for $25, you get $50 worth of hair, skin, hair removal, makeup, and hand- and foot-care services at the Douglas J Aveda Institute's Lansing location. This deal is good for all services except package specials.

The Douglas J Aveda Institute is a beauty school that will smooth and soothe whatever section of your surface area aches for tending, from your freshly sore Olive Oyl tattoo to the love-bite scars from your pet gull. During your session, the institute’s future superstar stylists and cosmetologists will tend to you with incredible detail while using Aveda's plant-based, bio-safe products. A botanical hair and scalp therapy douses sun-dried follicles with a deep moisturizing and strengthening hair and scalp treatment, followed by a scalp and neck massage, shampoo, and blow-dry ($37+). Otherwise, put your best face forward with an elemental nature self-renewal facial ($37 for 60 minutes, $42 for 90 minutes) or a makeup application ($22). Pamper your handy arm paddles and toe holsters with an elemental nature manicure ($24) and pedicure ($35). Maintain the grounds of your scalp lawn with a haircut and thermal style ($34), and pull weeds from facial areas with a waxing ($11–$60+).

There are so many services available at the Douglas J Aveda Institute that it might be difficult to decide which body parts should get preferential treatment. Put off a difficult decision by purchasing two Groupons, which must be redeemed in one visit. Either way, your treatments at the Aveda Institute will leave you with smooth and silky body parts that won’t rub each other the wrong way during long commutes.

• The stylists there were all very friendly and very capable. Even though they are just students, most of them knew what they were doing and, if they didn't, had someone around to ask them for assistance. – Hazel A., Yelp
• I have been to the Douglas J Aveda Institute several times for pedicures and recently went for a facial and massage. Each and everytime that I have been to the salon, it has been a very pleasurable experience. The rooms are very calming and relaxing. – Heather O., Insider Pages
