Although birds are a non-judgmental bunch of aviators, they enjoy a good view when they fly above parks and walkways, gazing at the scalps of flightless humans. Give the birds something to sing about with today's deal: for $45, you get a shampoo, haircut, blow-dry, and Kerastase restructuring treatment (up to a $135 value) at The Uptown Hair District, located on West Lake Street. This Groupon is valid for select stylists only.

Once you have your Groupon, you can make an appointment with one of The Uptown Hair District's master hair shamans, who know how to snip, dye, and charm even the most distraught bristles, frizzies, and Medusa head-snakes. Your stylist will sense your innermost hair-yearnings, then carefully snip in tune with your thoughts and dreams, letting creative forces flow wildly onto your scalp for a haircut that revolutionizes the way you look in the mirror—inside and out. Your shampoo, cut, and blow-dry ($45–$80) is only part of your primping package; you'll also receive a Kerastase restructuring treatment that calms dry, damaged, and rebellious hair with a special soothing serum ($25–$55). Afterward, in the streets, you might find that your magnificent mane busts the binds of its bowler hat and leaps into sunshine, dappling the dark alleyways of careless coiffeurs.

The Uptown location provides a chic arena for engaging in beautifying services, with gleaming brown floors and elegant shelves stocked to the rafters with colorful products. They even boast a large aquarium in their lobby, packed with fashionista goldfish so style-savvy that they change up their look every 30 minutes.

New clients only. Cancellations require at least 24 hours' notice or the Groupon is forfeited.

Reviews

Three Yelpers and six Citysearchers give The Uptown Hair District a five-star average.

• LOVE this salon!!! I'm a bit of a last minute person so I don't always see the same stylist...I've been to 4 or 5 stylists and every single one did a WONDERFUL job! – metromama, Citysearch
• Super-sleek work stations, patient reception staff (incredibly tolerant of all sorts of guest behavior) and a pleasing aesthetic. Plus the biggest goldfish aquarium I've ever seen. – Kat W., Yelp
