Thomas Edison famously advised listeners to speak softly and carry a big, electrified stick. Apply advice to unwanted hair with today's Groupon: for $49, you get two 30-minute electrolysis sessions at Sabrina's Electrolysis, located at the Plaza at the Galleria (a $100 value).

Sabrina's Electrolysis banishes unwanted hair from the face and body using electrolysis, the only method of permanent hair removal approved by the FDA. The licensed electrologists at Sabrina's insert an extremely fine, disposable probe into the individual follicles, cuddling up with the root of the hair before sending in a small electric current to destroy it forever. The hair then slides out easily, never to return, barring the contraction of lycanthropy. The treatment causes a slight heat or tingling sensation and some swelling within the first hour; however, the treated area quickly returns to its normal appearance and begins flaunting its new hairlessness. Electrolysis is effective for all skin types and hair colors, and eliminates razor rash, ingrown hairs, and unsightly strands from faces, bikini lines, legs, and elsewhere. Results vary from individual to individual, but most clients require a series of several treatments to achieve their desired hairlessness.
