Unlike open-heart surgery or removing a squirrel taped to the upper back, a haircut is rarely a successful do-it-yourself project. Turn the scissors over to professionals with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get a hair-and-beauty package at Salon Pynk in Shelby Township (up to a $100 total value). The package includes:

• A haircut and blow-dry (a $30 value).
• A Moroccan oil conditioning treatment (a $20 value).
• Color application (a $40 value) or partial highlights (a $35 value).
• An eyebrow wax (a $10 value).<p><p>

Salon Pynk houses a squadron of skilled stylists with years of strand-snipping experience and a finger glued to fashion’s pulse. Clippers shear through tresses in need of a pruning, and a Moroccan oil conditioning treatment shines and hydrates head-fibers previously dried out by nuzzles from affectionate desk lamps. Patrons can then choose to shift mane shades with an application of color, or sport aesthetically layered streaks with partial highlights. Finally, a blowout lifts freshly tinted locks into flattering ‘dos. For guests hoping to shed some facial fleece, an eyebrow waxing strips arches into streamlined shapes or favorite punctuation marks, thereby concluding the beautification session.

Visitors to Salon Pynk can carry their refurbished coifs past hot-pink walls, hanging artwork, and black furniture. Mosaic floor tiles spell out the salon’s name and comprise a path to a marble counter, where clients must summon the receptionist by repeating her name three times while staring into one of the neighboring mirrors.
