Today’s Groupon: for $139, you get a three-hour Queen for a Day package at Oakridge Laser & Skin Care Clinic (a $285 value). Queen for a Day packages include the following:

  • Manicure
  • Pedicure
  • Hydrating facial
  • Relaxation massage
  • Eyebrow shaping with threading or tweezing

The aesthetic experts at Oakridge Laser & Skin Care Clinic beautify patrons from top to tip toe with a regal Queen for a Day package that aims to soothe, groom, and rejuvenate weary bodies. Hands bask in the relaxation-inducing embrace of a hot towel before nails undergo a meticulous polish application. Once nails have been thoroughly groomed, paws wallow in a soothing soak followed by a lavish foot massage. During the hydrating facial, a skilled skin tech paints parched complexions with a cooling mask to restore moisture to skin and erases aches with a facial massage. Adroit muscle manipulators then pummel knots with a barrage of smooth kneads and flowing strokes that can promote blood circulation and banish tension. Finally, aestheticians employ threading or tweezing techniques to whisk away stray strands and sculpt sleek arches that offer the least resistance when riding your condor to work.

Chef and owner Claudio Ranallo continues to eradicate stomach yearnings with his more than 40 years of perfecting classic Italian pasta, seafood, and steak dishes at La Piazza Dario. Lunchtime escapades start with a bowl of the soup du jour or the classic combination of fresh mozzarella and tomato in the caprese salad. Then, guests may spool a few feet of spaghetti bolognese around a fork or cut into the scaloppine al portobello, a veal chop slathered in portobello-mushroom gravy. Evening dwellers peruse the dinner menu, selecting from 14 pasta dishes such as linguine al pesto and penne with chicken. A preparation of salmon in white-wine sauce marries the fruits of the ocean to the fruits of the vineyard, and the grilled T-bone sizzles audibly on its journey from kitchen to table to let other dishes know it’s time to abdicate their forks. Dinner guests on Sunday or Monday nights all receive a free dessert.

Skippered by stylist Deandra Vaughn, Heartbreaker Salon’s staff of expert trimmers and colourists treats tresses to thorough reshaping, scrubbing, and tinting. Following a 15-minute consultation, Davines shampoo and conditioner lathers and softens male manes or female follicles before a soothing scalp massage kneads crowns and dislodges catchy melodies from heads at one of the salon’s several wash stations. As shears trim mops, Davines styling products remodel hair into singular silhouettes, fashioning fresh men’s looks in 30-45 minutes. Ladies’ locks require a one-hour appointment due to a blow-dry that bridges their cut and styling treatments. For the partial foils, Wella professional colour coats halves of customer heads in a variety of shades, enriching hair with healthy hues and the ability to find the ends of rainbows. Appointment times vary per client depending on how effectively their hair can be coloured.

Eight traditional pasta dishes take form in such shapes as the anchovy-sprinkled puttanesca linguine ($17). Chefs plate crispy morsels of duck confit ($19) and ladle a vegetable ragout over braised lamb shanks in a traditional osso buco ($19). Tiramisu ($6) or crème brûlée serve as sweet codas, which customers savour while surrounded by local art in the dining room. On Sunday evenings Hemant Rao performs live guitar music to enhance dinners with smooth, six-string melodies and authentic Gene Simmons face paint.
