Unlike open-heart surgery or removing a squirrel taped to the upper back, a haircut is rarely a successful do-it-yourself project. Seek professional hair inspiration with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a shampoo, haircut, and aromatherapy towel treatment plus partial highlights at Twisted Scizzors in Cary (up to a $130 value).

The professional stylists at Twisted Scizzors refurbish tresses with Redken hair-color products and brightly flashing shears. As a shampoo and aromatherapy towel treatment refresh clients’ scalps and invigorate their senses, the stylist gossips with chatty ponytail holders to determine the patron’s desired style. Then, glinting shears sidle up to freshly laundered tresses and raze split ends in a flurry of lock-layering fervor. For the final step, foils loaded with high-quality Redken color retouch dull strands, employing out-of-work coloring books to ensure vibrant partial highlights stay within the lines.
