$125 for Three Sessions of Laser Hair Removal at La Dolce Salon & Spa (Up to $450 Value)
Jul 30th
Hair is like detailed knowledge of X-Files plotlines—while extremely useful, revealing too much of it in the wrong place can sink your social life. Today's Groupon abducts rogue hairs with technology invented by a shadowy group of elites known only as the Syndicate. For $125, you get three laser hair-removal sessions for one body region—lip, chin, bikini area, or underarm—at La Dolce Salon & Spa.
Known for their friendly service and commitment to details, La Dolce's friendly technicians ably wield the Cutera ProWave hair-removal system to ensure a safe and efficient treatment for a wide range of skin types. Laser light is a quick, painless, and effective method for removing unwanted hair. A long-pulse, high-energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin and directly targets follicles, effectively treating unwanted hair. Unlike the lasers utilized by popular film hero and 2010 California gubernatorial hopeful Iron Man, these friendly beams are easy, comfortable, and treat hair follicles faster than other methods. Laze your upper lip ($75 value per treatment), defuzz your chin ($110 value per treatment), stay bikini ready ($150 value per treatment), or clean out your underarm flytraps ($150 value per treatment).
You may buy two Groupons for a total of six hair-erasing blasts of laser treatment. Depending on your personal hairiness spectrum score (zero is Mr. Clean, 10 is Robin Williams), six sessions may be necessary to permanently halt hair growth. The relaxing environment of La Dolce lulls clients into a dream-like relaxation state, optimal for annihilation of insubordinate follicles.
Appointments are required. Mention your Groupon number when scheduling your session.

Up to Half Off a Helicopter Tour or Lesson from Holmes Helicopters. Choose from Three Options.
Jul 30th
When summer unfurls its wings and flaps languidly through the air, commandeer a helicopter and pursue it into the sky, harpoon in hand. In the unlikely event that you lack helicopter access, today's Groupon provides one of three airborne adventures from Holmes Helicopters in Newberg. Depending on your lofty desires, purchase one of the following Groupons:
- $99 for a 20-minute helicopter tour of the Willamette River for two people (a $175 value)
- $149 for a 45-minute helicopter tour of Dundee Hills for two people (a $300 value)
- $79 for a 20-minute helicopter lesson for one person (a $150 value)
With a friendly crew of chopper operators, Holmes launches scenic tours and hands-on lessons from the open pads at Sportsman Airpark, which is about 40 minutes southwest of downtown Portland. No matter which flight path you choose, the comforts of a Hiller 12-D or 12-E helicopter will be the chopper chariot. The spherical sky-mobile is designed for smooth rides and spectacular views. In flight, feel free to nudge your fellow passenger lovingly as you both admire the patch-worked wine country of Dundee Hills or the water soaked river known as the wet Willamette, depending on your chosen tour.
For those opting to take the reigns for a 20-minute lesson, you'll be guided through the ups and downs of moving up and down, side to side, and right side up with your veteran co-pilot beside you. Though a single lesson won't result in solo-flight certification, the time is applicable toward pilot hours. After the short session, prospective pilots will possess the ability to fly in dreams, on commercial airlines, and in the presence of sufficiently happy thoughts.
A reservation is required 48 hours in advance. The individual weight of one person must not exceed 300 pounds, and the combined weight of passengers must not exceed 400 pounds.

$20 for $40 Worth of Globally Inspired Dinner Fare at Palms Bistro Bar
Jul 30th
In ancient Greece, global cuisine referred to food actually prepared on Earth, not begrudgingly conjured by Zeus, whose cosmic duties included dishing up platters of take-out ambrosia. Enjoy world food divinity with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of ethnically fused cuisine at Palms Bistro Bar, located in the heart of the historic Third Ward. This Groupon is only valid for the dinner menu.
Palms Bistro Bar artfully blends cuisines from corners of the globe traditionally unused to culinary interaction, such as Eurasia and Euramerica. The dinner menu begins its gastronomic game of Risk in Europe, with strategic selections of baked Danish brie ($11.95) and bruschetta ($9.25), before redirecting its forces to Southern Asia. The spicy Thai peanut pasta ($13.75) comforts lost, searching souls with sautéed bok choy and shiitake mushrooms tossed in a chilicious peanut sauce. Entrees such as the peppercorn-dusted, 10-ounce flat-iron steak ($25), served with a twice-baked potato, and the pan-seared Alaskan halibut ($26) revitalize diners accustomed to sadly stagnant restaurant routines, whereas the steak salad ($14.50) acts as an omnivorous pact between the meatiest meat and greens, grape tomatoes, and marinated red onions. Palms' full-service bar has wine by the glass or bottle, plus seasonal cocktails that transform throughout the year, unlike the perpetually neon-orange canopy of an old-growth Tang-sequoia forest.
Sporting a relaxed vibe with brick walls, local artwork, and antique fireplaces, Palms Bistro Bar provides a cosmopolitan environment for sampling its eclectically evolved global cuisine. Use today's Groupon for casual, upscale dining with friends and a chance for global gastroharmony.

$50 for $100 Worth of Lighting and Home Goods at HomeConcept
Jul 30th
Most people’s first apartments had floors lined with raw oatmeal, a re-purposed Twister mat for a bed, and a showerhead that intermittently drizzled viscous, jet-black fluid and liquid police sirens. Now that you have the pad of your dreams, pick up some pad padding with today's deal: for $50, you get $100 worth of furniture, lighting, and décor at HomeConcept, located on Beltline Highway.
HomeConcept houses a monumental inventory of lighting ideas, desks, media stands, and lampshades. Within the store are idea-inspiring vignettes of kitchen tables unsmeared by peanut butter, well-lit family rooms free of peanut-butter gobs, and dorm rooms untrammeled by tubs of peanut butter. Decorative bits include area rugs ($49.99–$99), night lights, and accent tables.
HomeConcept's hefty collection of home goods is made manageable by the helpful and friendly staff, wandering like ornamentation oracles through your future bathroom or dining room. They make a point of recycling all the bulbs, cardboard, and Styrofoam used and go one step further by making their own packing peanuts for any shipping they do.
This Groupon is not valid toward online purchases.

SOLD OUT: $150 for Six Laser Hair-Removal Treatments at Chicago Skin Solutions (Up to $900 Value)
Jul 30th
Hair is like detailed knowledge of X-Files plotlines—though extremely useful, revealing too much of it in the wrong place can sink your social life. Today's Groupon abducts rogue hairs with technology invented by a shadowy group of elites known only as the Syndicate: for $150, you get six laser hair-removal treatments for a single area of your choice (up to a $900 value) at Chicago Skin Solutions. Use your Groupon for any of the following areas: underarm, regular bikini, upper lip, chin, or men's hairline (front or back). You may purchase up to three Groupons, but you must use each for a different hair area.
Dr. Bradley Hulten, MD, and his highly trained staff members halt the human factory's hair-production assembly line with the Intense Pulse Light of the Palomar Starlux System. A long-pulse, high-energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin and directly targets follicles, effectively treating unwanted hair. Unlike the lasers utilized by popular film hero and 2010 California gubernatorial hopeful Iron Man, these friendly beams are easy and comfortable and treat hair follicles faster than other methods. Each treatment is conducted by Chicago Skin Solutions' certified laser technicians, who have each wielded beams for more than four years and received over 60 hours of training and zero-gravity space-flight simulations. Small areas such as the upper lip, chin, bikini area, and underarms can be treated in as little as 15 minutes, also known as one standard metric Warhol.
Because hair grows in cycles and lasers can only vaporize follicular armies on active duty (in accordance with the Geneva Convention), four to six treatments are typically necessary to flush out the majority of hair hideouts during their active growth stages. By the end of the allotment of treatments at Chicago Skin Solutions, patients can expect to see an 80%–90% long-term hair reduction in the hairea being treated. After each treatment, your skin may be slightly red and sensitive, so try to put up with its constant requests to snuggle and watch romantic comedies.
Clients must fill out the medical-history form from the website before the appointment. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

$42 for 18 Holes of Golf for Two People Plus Cart Rental at Tuckaway Golf Club in Crete

Like suntans and the ability to slice apples by throwing knives in their general direction, golf skills disappear if you don't keep working at them. Keep the magic alive with today's deal: for $42, you get 18 holes of golf for two and a cart rental at Tuckaway Golf Club in Crete. Rates vary by day and time, with weekends ranging from $54 to $98 and weekdays from $50 to $74. Two people must play together (one person cannot redeem the Groupon for 36 holes).

With three patriotic colored tees at each hole placed at different distances from the hole, pendulum swingers of all abilities can enjoy an 18-hole outing of putting, strutting, and cruising the course at a balmy 12 mph in a cart.
Players who ball during the week get a bucket of range balls to practice launching dimpled orbs from one of the 20 grass tees. Once the round is finished, visit Tuckaway's clubhouse, which has amenities such as a bar and grill, pro shop, and Zamboni garage. Call ahead to schedule a tee time.

Jul 30th
Bodies of water are frequent metaphors used in poetry, due to their unfathomable depths, unknowable sprawl, and unattainable porpoises.

Cruises depart from the Edgewater Ramps on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 7 p.m. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

Round up your closest friends or take your sweetie out for a romantic ride aboard Fast1Charter's high-speed racing boat for an exhilarating and breathtaking outdoor experience. Captain Greg will ably pilot a 35-foot cigarette powerboat over Lake Erie's tranquil waters and lake dragons. During your cruise west from Edgewater to Rocky River, you'll enjoy the rush of 70-mile-per-hour speeds while the sun bobs atop the water like a perfectly safe yet radioactive buoy. On the way back, you'll get dramatic views of Cleveland's lit-up skyline pitched against the water. As you watch the sun melt into the ripply waters, pair your eye feast with an occasional cooling freshwater spritz.
Fast1Charters' sunset cruise is BYOB, so bring along a couple of beers and toast your pals as you snuggle into the wind's exhilarating embrace.
All cruises are weather permitting. Expires 9/17.

$15 for $30 Worth of Indian Cuisine at Dancing Ganesha
Jul 30th
In the Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana, the hero Rama defeats the demon-king Ravana by teaming up with Hanuman and eating strength-enhancing Popeye-brand curry. Magnify your own mouth with today's deal: for $15, you get $30 worth of magically delicious Indian cuisine at Dancing Ganesha, a downtown restaurant with vegetarian-friendly fare and contemporary twists on classic Indian recipes.
Perch yourself atop an imaginary elephant and trample your appetite with Dancing Ganesha's spicy, gyrating menu. Start a meal with some vegetable samosas, a tricorner pastry filled with a potato-pea filling and distinctive spice mix ($4.99). For a fresh-fired experience, order the tandoori chicken, a half chicken marinated in sweet spices and roasted in the Tatooine-like heat of the Indian tandoor oven ($12.99). Try Dancing Ganesha's creamy butter chicken ($13.99), or branch out and try a spicy curried specialty such as the shrimp vindaloo (shrimp in a hot, tangy vindaloo sauce, $15.99). For a mild, creamy dish, opt for lamb nilgiri, with slow-cooked lamb in a mild coconut curry, or try one of the many vegetarian entrees, like the Aloo Gobi masala (cauliflower and potatoes cooked with ginger, tomatoes, and a distinctive herb blend, $10.99). No Indian dinner would be complete without a cup of sweet masala chai tea ($2.99) and an order of sauce-soppable flatbread, such as their garlic naan ($2.99), to round out a meal.
Dancing Ganesha's modern interior and bright, vibrant setting complement its contemporary Indian cuisine well, allowing diners to sate their visual palates while quenching thirsts and utterly demolishing hunger. Take a special someone out for an evening or escape from the pressures of society to an exotic locale with today's deal.
