Perfect Tan and Boutique (Mountain Brook)

Dear Sun,

Yes, we were initially very impressed with photosynthesis. And, of course, we still appreciate the Vitamin D. But seriously, Sun...what have you done for us lately? This whole "global warning" thing is starting to look like more than just a fad and Perfect Tan & Boutique is now offering 10% off tanning services to all first time customers. Not to say that we didn't have some good times - and we totally want to stay friends - but maybe we should, like, see other people.

Votre Spa Salon (Patton Creek)

For the misguided few who insist that the French lack true grit, may we introduce you to Julien Pillet...Julien (Monsieur Pillet, to you) is a French sabre fencer and two-time Olympic medalist.

Although originally from Dijon (Burgundy), Julien discovered fencing in Los Angeles. As a teenager, Julien moved to LA with his mother. Unfortunately, he became the object of bullying by the Cobras, a menacing group of fencing students. In order to defend himself, Daniel asked the handyman at his apartment complex, Jean-Claude Miyagi, to teach him how to handle the sabre. Monsieur Miyagi taught Julien that fencing is mastery over the self (mind and body) and that sword-play is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Julien learned the physical skills while gaining faith and the self-confidence to defeat "Johnny", the leader of the Cobras. Later on, he won Olympic medals and stuff.

They should totally make a movie about this guy.

Votre Spa Salon is offering the following spring specials (via their website):

1. Mid-week Escape (Tues - Thurs): one-hour elemental nature massage and deep cleansing facial for $130

2. Come-again: package of 6, one-hour elemental nature massages for $425

3. Spring Style: women's haircut & style with newest stylist Layton Walters for $35

p.s., "Votre" means "your" in French.

Renaissance Ross Bridge Spa (Hoover)

Mention "renaissance" and everyone starts talking about da Vinci. Sure, he could paint and he might of invented the helicopter, but rumor has it he got all of his best ideas from his hair stylist. Seriously, this guy at the Southside library told us. And he even sort-of looked like da Vinci.

The Renaissance Ross Bridge Spa is offering 20% off all spa services to local residents on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Thanks to SupaFly Christine P. for this tip.

Nations Hair Studio (Chelsea)

As typical for salonfly staffers on Sunday mornings, we all settled around the 90" plasma screen to watch Face the Nation. Just because we're pretty doesn't mean we don't care about real issues. Top of our agenda...global warming, immigration reform, and what the heck is up with Hillary?

Nations Hair Studio is currently offering the following promotions:

1) $10 off cut & style (new customer only)

2) $15 deep conditioning treatment (regular $45)

3) $5 off all waxing services

Aura Day Spa (Inverness)

In a former life, one of our salonfly staffers served as consultant to a local police department. A powerful psychic, she would station herself along popular thoroughfares and read the auras of people passing by. If she noticed anything strange, two burly cops would arrest the suspect immediately. Sure, the city eventually got sued, but we're still convinced it was a great idea.

We recruited her to help us identify folks in need of a therapeutic massage. Now she hangs out at The Summit offering discount rub downs to folks with "bruised" auras. Brilliant!

Concerned about your aura? Aura Day Spa is currently advertising the following promotions on their website (click on the "specials" button):

1) Ten 90 minutes massages for $750 (save $150)

2) Six, one-hour massages for $300 (save $60)

Bradford Scott Salons (Homewood)

No longer need death stand in the way of reaching your goals. Sure, "Scotty" passed away almost two years ago, but this April he's realizing his life-long dream of visiting actual outer space!

Thanks to the folks at Memorial Space Flights, Cmdr. Montgomery Scott will be making his first of two trips to space April 28, 2007. And what's even better? You can post a message in tribute to Scotty that will travel with him - for free!

Just imagine it...you (well, your name and a short personal message) and a bona fide Star Trek celebrity will be in outer space...together! Just wait till that jerk, Derek, at your office hears about this - he thinks he so cool since seeing Gene Simmons at the Galleria.

You had better get a haircut before the media catch wind...

Merrill Shepherd, master stylist / color specialist at Bradford Scott Salons in Homewood is currently offering the following introductory offer: 50% off a haircut and style with a complementary stress relieving treatment and make-up touch up.

We found this sweet little deal on a business card she left behind at Cool Beans Coffee (Edgewood). It wouldn't hurt to confirm whether this promo is still running (at the time of booking your appointment). FYI - we called last week (March 28th) and they said it was still valid.
