Early humans believed that hair was actually the tentacles of an octopus living inside their skulls—an amusingly quaint notion now that modern science has proven it's technically a cuttlefish. Indulge your inner invertebrate with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of color and cut services at Hawthorn Salon. Customers can combine two Groupons during a single visit.

Design-driven owners Jim Stracke and Lea Laskowitz are proud to welcome clients to their salon's chic, modern, and lounge-like digs. As you wait to get your 'do done, pique your appetite for high-end style by perusing large cypress shelves stocked with products from Bumble & bumble and Malin+Goetz. Or, sip a complimentary beverage at the hand-crafted bar as you debate the differences between gross national, gross domestic, and seriously disgusting products. Hawthorn provides strand-taming services for both women and men, including cuts ($40+ for women, $25+ for men), single-process coloring ($50+), full highlights ($95+), and more. Free Wi-Fi enables customers to upload and share pictures of their renovated noggins with friends, family members, and evil ex-stylists without delay.
