Putting your best face forward sometimes requires making your second-best face drop out of sight in an unfortunate "accident." Today's deal creates the perfect alibi: you were busy enjoying a $50 facial at Roffi Salon & Day Spa in Back Bay during the time of its disappearance. Your Groupon gets you one of four facial treatments; choose from a one-hour facial ($85 value), 1.5-hour facial ($95 value), microdermabrasion ($110 value), or photo rejuvenation ($110 value).

Every facial is tailored to suit the needs and astrological sign of the recipient. The treatments aim to rejuvenate the interior just as much as the exterior. A standard 60- or 90-minute facial treatment gently strips away the topmost layer of skin so that the rich inner layer shines with the satisfaction of a mathlete in a room of spelling-bee champs. The salon uses natural products whenever possible, creating an affable experience for both yourself and the planet that built you out of clay and Legos. If a facial's not in the cards, go for microdermabrasion or photo rejuvenation. The former gently scrubs away imperfections and fine lines; the latter involves a futuristic energy-delivery device, which is used to improve the texture, smoothness, and evenness of your human mask.

Salon owner and namesake, Michael Roffi, has more than 30 years of experience as a member of the League of Extraordinary Newbury Street Stylists. He's bestowed his years of knowhow upon an experienced staff who work as a team to promote health, harmony, and overall well-being through their services, and speak seven and a half languages among them. The salon's dedication to wellness also spills over to eco-friendly initiatives: All electricity comes from local wind farms. Green product lines are used whenever possible. Hair clippings are donated for repurposing. And all recyclable waste is appropriately recycled (often into awesome hamster armor).

Roffi Salon will be closed today, March 1st. For inquiries, please contact info@michaelroffi.com.

Reviews

CityVoters are glowing about Roffi Salon & Day Spa, naming it Best Day Spa 2009. Eight Citysearchers give it a near-perfect 4.5 stars, and seven Yelpers give it four stars:

• The people there are great - friendly, attentive. The salon itself has a great atmosphere --full of art all the time. Plus, they have gone "green": everything is recycled, no plastic or paper cups for coffee, hand dryers instead of paper towels, etc. Most importantly, their stylists are truly talented, and committed to making you look and feel good. –TonyBoston, Citysearch
• I went here a few weeks ago for the getsugar facial deal with Justine and she was suchhh [sic] a sweetheart. I came in with a bad case of sudden dry skin and she gave me a lot of great…suggestions. – Jen G., Yelp
