Men's Dermalogica Facial and Paraffin Wax Manicure for €49 at Castleknock Beauty Academy (€125 Value)

As the early precursors of beauty salons, medieval castles were notorious for tanning turrets, hot oil facials and Rapunzel hair extensions. Patrol the beauty battlements with today’s CityDeal: €49 for a men’s Dermalogica facial and paraffin wax manicure at the Lavender Beauty Rooms at Castleknock Beauty Academy.

With a host of beauty treatments, Castleknock Beauty Academy is a respected salon as well as an excellent school for budding therapists, accredited by VTCT, the specialist awarding body for the beauty and hairdressing sector, in association with skincare specialists Dermalogica. Specialising in alternative health therapies and body treatments, the academy's Lavender Beauty Rooms are a one-stop shop for a host of unisex beautifying treatments, lowering the drawbridge to a pampering plethora of specialist massages, reflexology and prescriptive facials alongside waxing, tanning, eye care and archery.

CityDeal holders can manacle a manicure and defend the realm with a men’s Dermalogica facial (€70) complete with a skin consultation and prescriptive session just in time for Father’s Day. Paternal shoulders can be eased with a relaxing massage and skin cleansed with an exfoliating scrub and customised treatment masque. As part of this double treatment designed to revitalise tired faces and perk up pinkies, a paraffin wax manicure (€55) is also on the menu, soothing joints with warm fluidity and reinvigorating skin tone.
