Like your unemployed younger brother, hair can sometimes show up uninvited and refuse to leave. Today’s Groupon will rid you of stray strands with the services of a hair-removal expert: for $25, you get $50 worth of waxing from European Wax Center. This deal is valid at eight Houston-area locations. Choose the most convenient locale for you:

• West University
• Galleria
• Meyerland
• League City
• Copperfield
• Royal Oaks/Westchase
• Bunker Hill/Memorial
• River Oaks

There is no follicle too wispy or fuzz too peachy to avoid the professional waxen masters at European Wax Center. Before your defoliation, you'll be slathered like so much beef brisket with the Center's calming cleanser and a pre-depilatory oil that fights irritation and redness. A very special, alcohol-free blend of polymers and beeswax is specially designed to uproot hair with nary a pang of pain. Afterward, your newly smooth skin will be pampered with an ingrown-hair-and-breakout-despising solution.

Ladies can reshape or separate Siamese brows ($15) or clear their upper lip ($8) to prepare a smooth surface for better novelty moustache adhesion. Migrate away from the mug to de-fuzz arms ($24 for half, $30 for full) or a pair of leggy walking arms ($58 for a full wax), and get beach seasoned with a Brazilian ($39). For the hairy he-beast in your life, there's vats of wax too: $19 for the shoulders, $23 for the chest, $50 for the full back, and if you have abs hard enough to crack a walnut on, they get waxed for free.

• In just a few minutes a month I have a quick, professional wax with no worries. The techs know what they're doing and they don't waste my time by making me wait. Friendly, but no chatter. Very clean, very private and the beeswax makes it virtually pain free. – MargaretDe, Citysearch
• I like the hard wax they use over the wax strips from other places - less painful and better results. Not to mention the great pricing here. No frills type of place. – Anna L., Yelp
• The atmosphere was also relaxing and clean. I felt less pain than usual with the waxing service and think I will definitely be coming back to try some waxing services on more tender body parts. – Mercedes C., Yelp
