Rain Hair Salon

1544 W 2nd Ave., Vancouver, British Columbia

Today’s Groupon: for $29, you get a tea tree scalp massage, deep conditioning treatment, blowout, and a haircut at Rain Hair Salon, located on West 2nd Avenue (up to a $109 value).

In addition to being a designer-dotted boutique, Rain Salon gifts customers a variety of hair services to pump up the pretty. The hands of a skilled stylist apply gentle pressure to overworked noggins, extracting worrisome brainwaves and reducing them into a serum for use against impending asteroids. A deep conditioning treatment ($30) hugs forlorn follicles and whispers the promises of softer future, while a classic cut eradicates split ends and, like a self-serving wingman, plays up important facial features. Nab a complimentary latte or warm cup of tea before reentering outer earth with an updated do.

Although your appointment may look like a speck on the timeline to eternity, comfort yourself with complimentary bang and neck trims between regular services. The friendly and outgoing staff suggests suitable styles, services, or stick-figure friends for any unsure clients.

1521 Broadway St., Vancouver, British Columbia

Today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of globally-inspired tapas and drinks at Bin 942 on Broadway Street.

Winner of Best Tapas at the 2009 Georgia Straight Golden Plate Awards, Bin 942 serves up a multi-award-winning menu of globally-inspired tapatisers —larger than standard tapas, but smaller than an entree — and small plates that are artistically crafted from sustainable, local, and organic ingredients. Owner/chef Gord Martin is a punk-rock front man turned culinary artist who designed Bin 942 to channel the spirit of New York–style wine and tapas bars. Diners can knot their taste buds around a selection from the Tongue Twisters menu, which includes items such as golden beets in a truffle honey glaze ($8) and duck confit poutine ($9). Sharing ensues with tapatisers ($15–$17) such as Kobe-beef meatballs with black-truffle pinot-noir sauce and the prawn and scallop brochette with celeriac and tortellini. Body builders can bulk up on steamed Cortez Island mussels ($15), and greenery grazers can nibble gourmet salads ($10). As a complement to well-layered eats, Bin 942 features hand-picked wines, beers, and spirits to pair with its creative concoctions. The funky interior’s dazzling mirrored accents, eclectic artwork, and bright splashes of colour stimulate the eyeballs while sultry music whispers sweet nothings to enticed ears.

1237 Burrard St., Vancouver, British Columbia

The debonair groomerie offers old-fashioned barber services for suave gents on the go in its sophisticated downtown salon. As you relax into a plush barber chair, the highly trained hair handler at Momentum will employ an arsenal of the finest products made exclusively for men to wash, snip, shape, and style your strands into an attractive ‘do to fit your lifestyle. Austere enforcers of the law may choose a neat-and-trim trimming, while their couch-crashing brethren can bring in their long locks and request a lush, early nineties look. In addition to a new ‘do, you’ll receive a close and traditional straight-razor shave using Truefitt & Hill luxury products to work up a hot healthy lather. You’ll also get 10% off the purchase of styling products to ensure your ‘do looks appropriately dashing in between dates or rollycoaster rides.

After a week in corporate combat, losing precious free time away from the big game or a bar in the name of beauty can sound painful. But shag snipping at guy-friendly Momentum Grooming is something to look forward to. Call ahead to schedule your appointment.

JJ Bean Coffee Woodward’s District

Amanda Kerr Photography captures fleeting moments and moveable memories with artistic shots. With today’s Groupon, buyers get a chance to learn the tricks of the trade from a friendly, professional photographer during a two-hour instructional photo walk. The first roll of 60 minutes is filled with instructional camera training to get customers fully acquainted with their digital point-and-shoot or DSLR. With the menu options mastered, participants take it to the streets with a 60-minute photo walk in either Gastown/Waterfront or Granville Island/False Creek. Along the flash-spotted stroll, a professional photographer will offer hands-on instruction to help craft creative shots. Each photo walk will have no more than five people, so while this means more individual attention, it also means that a six-person wheelbarrow race will never come to pass. Once all the shots are safely enmeshed within a digital cocoon, participants will receive access to a password-protected online gallery for image viewing and colour correcting.
